February 22, 2020 11:30 am Forty years ago Saturday, Team USA shocked the four-time defending Olympic gold medalist Soviet Union at the 1980 Games in Lake Placid, New York. It was one of the greatest sports upsets of all time, and it also led to one of the greatest broadcast calls ever. As the clock counted down with the Americans up, 4-3, and just trying to hold on, Al Michaels called out: “Do you believe in miracles?!

Yes!”

The incredible upset snapped Team USA’s 12-game losing streak to the Soviet Union, and those losses were often ugly. As ESPN recently noted in a detailed breakdown of just how absurdly unlikely this victory was, the USSR outscored the U.S. 117-26 in those games between 1960 and 1980. And then there was the 10-3 exhibition blowout loss at Madison Square Garden right before the Olympics started, offering little hope that an upset was remotely possible. So in honor of that stunning takedown and arguably one of the most famous hockey games ever on its 40th anniversary, here’s the end of the “Miracle on Ice” game. It was a true David vs. Goliath game that no one thought the Americans would win, and the upset in the semifinals led to Team USA ultimately winning Olympic gold by beating Finland in the following game. NBA 4-Point Play: 4 questions about the second half of the season Who's winning it all? Who's this years' ROY and MVP? And who are the dark horses for the playoffs? These are all the questions we have about the second half of the season on the latest 4PP.

The Carolina Hurricanes were facing a disaster scenario midway through Saturday's game in Toronto after starting goaltender James Reimer and backup Petr Mrazek were forced out of the game due to injuries before the third period began.

5-FOOT-4 NATHAN GERBE LEVELS CLAUDE GIROUX WITH HUGE HIT, THEN TAKES DOWN 6-FOOT-4 FLYER IN FIGHT

Nate Scott

February 22, 2020

Nathan Gerbe has had a bit of a journeyman career in the NHL. After a stellar college career with Boston College, Gerbe played for years for the Sabres and Hurricanes, before landing in Europe. He's now back in the league with the Blue Jackets. That's all well and good. Gerbe's a great hockey player and has carved out a nice career for himself. But for the purposes of this article, what's really important is that Gerbe is 5-foot-4. That makes what he did against the Flyers so special on Thursday night. First, Gerbe leveled Claude Giroux with a massive hit. Then,... Read the full article NBC SPORTS MADE THE RIGHT CALL TO DUMP JEREMY ROENICK

It looks like that indefinite suspension is now permanent. On Wednesday afternoon, Roenick posted a video on his Twitter account saying that he would not be back on NBC. "I'm very disappointed and angry today," he said. "I will not be returning to NBC.  Though disappointed, I'm also grateful that I've had the opportunity to share my love, passion, my knowledge of the game with millions of people, millions of fans....
