Attn. Miracle On Ice fans ...

Is anybody watching ER right now? Neela (the girl from Bend It Like Beckham) and one of the interns just went up to the ortho floor at Cook County and were immediately met by three stick-wielding docs.

Ramsey, Craig and Pavelich.

Long live 1980!

 

Pavlich?

Are you sure it was Pavlich? He's a flippin' hermit.

 

No offense, c_g, but Rosie is understating the case. Maybe Pav in name, but that's all.

 

No, no, the three docs' names were Ramsey, Craig and Pavelich. Ms. Pavelich, mind you.

 

How very "Growing Pains" of the show's writers ...

 

Ok

I don't watch the show and I was thinking 'cameo.'

I feel dumb now.

 

Are there any non-Miracle on Ice fans?
USA! USA! USA!

I still think Les Auge got screwed out of a spot on that team. Freakin' Brooks.

 

ER jumping the shark again? I am sure there were no ads tying into the NHL on NBC?

 

You've got a long, long way to go to catch me in the dumb department

My dad went to some of the practices leading up to the Games. One day he brought back a beer sponsor poster of the entire squad before the final cut. Has guys like Auge and Bruce Horsch (sp?).

c_g, I agree, Long Live 1980!

 

I never, ever would have made that connection. Only a true hockey fan would pick up on that.

 

My brother was literally driving into Lake Placid as the game was ending and was totally bummed as they had tickets waiting, but they missed it. I still have his ticket from the Gold Medal game in a storage box somewhere.

 

What, they didn't have a Dr. Buzzy Sneider? Loosers!

Real Miracle on Ice was '60 at Squaw Valley. The Christian Brothers of Warroad, Mn., vs. the Russkis. And that was in the gold medal game.

Things were hopping that night at the Yugoslav National Home (upstairs of Pennys) in Ely. It was said that on that night there were no lonely hockey players on the Iron Range — as long as you were at least 16. Too bad I was 12.
