For 30 years ago the semifinal game in the Olympic Icehockey tournament between USA and Sovjet took place.
In advance the most people didn´t think that USA had a chance, but when the game was over USA had won by 4-3. USA would go on and win the gold medals some days after when they beat Finland whit 4-2.
Mike Eruzione who scored the winning goal, stopped playing after the game, as he said that he coulnd´t win any bigger then what he had won now.
The american coach, Herb Brooks started to coach NHL teams after the olympics but in 2002 he returned to the National team coaching them to a silvermedal in Salt Lake City.
However, while on his way home on the 11th of august 2003, Brooks feel asleep at the wheel and went of the road, killing him instantly.
