00:00I realize now why it became so much bigger than just a hockey game.
00:11We weren't superstars. We were the boy next door. Lunch pail, hardhat group of guys.
00:18To this day, it gives me chills.
00:23The American team, they were all amateurs. The feeling was, these guys have no chance.
00:28He was going to be a runaway. That's how dominant the Soviet team was.
00:34We needed a chance, and Herb was a perfect person.
00:37Our approach to the game was going to be entirely different.
00:40We signed by me! Herbie kicked our ass. I trained harder than I've ever trained in my life.
00:45As a country, we needed something to feel good about.
00:48And we were in the midst of a cold war that was about as cold as you could get.
00:52They were the enemy. They were Darth Vader.
00:55You're prepared all your life for this moment.
00:57The Russians with their fur coats and the American cowboy.
01:02We had been in big moments before, but nothing like this.
01:05I look up, and it's like, whoa.
01:12The energy in the room, I can feel it.
01:15You're out there playing against these guys, and they're immovable.
01:19Good ball!
01:22It was a surprisingly good shot.
01:23I think people related to who we were.
01:28Somehow this band of kids came together.
01:31We had the audacity to believe we could do it.
01:34They thought it was impossible!
01:36This is a miracle! I can't believe it!
