And given that the Cold War was at an almost all-time zenith after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan 2 months earlier (which led to the ridiculous US boycott of the Moscow summer Olympics a few months later--guess it's ok to boycott when it's at their place), the victory by a college team over the most feared hockey team in the world was just amazing. By way of comparison, look how a non-NHL US team did this year at the Olympics. They were terrible.
