Politically, the two countries were just at each other and this whole thing kind of climaxed the relationship between the two nations. Reaching beyond the politics of the era, including the hostage crisis in Iran and the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the Miracle on Ice inspired a nation in its immediate aftermath and a Hollywood movie and generations of players and fans in the years that followed.Добро пожаловать на NHL.com, официальный сайт Национальной хоккейной лигиBienvenue à LNH.com , le site officiel de la Ligue nationale de hockey"I think it was something that, I don't want to say when you start at USA Hockey, but in that range, that was what they drew on.
