“Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in Miracles? YES!” Those words uttered on February 22nd, 1980 immortalized the greatest moment in sports history. Al Michaels captured in just 5 seconds what the entire world was thinking on that day. A bunch of kids, mostly from Boston and Minnesota were brought together to do the unthinkable. Looking back, I realize this will never happen again in our lifetime.
In 1998, the NHL allowed professionals to compete at the Winter Games for the first time. Since then, the magic born in 1980 will never be captured again.
