1987 Canada Cup

Best hockey ever played between the two greatest nations in Hockey.

Also, CyNick's would be movie synopsis is entertaining.

Finally, there will never be a full length, theatrical release movie made on any Canada-Soviet matchups, because, it wouldn't sell well outside of Canada and perhaps parts of Europe.

Honestly, you cannot tell me that the "Miracle" of 1980 is really that significant to any American outside of Minnesota?? Perhaps I'm incorrect??

Personally, am I jelious of "Brooks rag-tag posse of two-bit nobodies" (no offense, but perhaps a fair description of the team) defeating the mighty Soviets? No. However, as a fan of Soviet hockey, I am dissapointed at that moment in Soviet hockey history. Actually, I could really care less about the whole thing.

I do wanna see the movie. I read that it is "the best hockey movie". However, perhaps it is not as good as the review I read lead me to believe. Hard part is, my friends don't want to see it because they are allowing their anti-USA feelings to overpower their hockey fan 'spirit'.
