“Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” Al Michael’s historic call will forever define one of the greatest upsets in sporting history. When the United States Olympic hockey team played the fearsome Red Machine of the USSR, nobody gave Herb Brooks and his scrappy band of college hockey players any chance to advance to the gold medal game. Somehow, the underdog US team emerged with a 4-3 victory, solidifying the greatest upset in hockey history. The gold medal game against Finland was merely a formality, with the US team easily defeating the Finns 4-2.
