0:03:20 > 0:03:23He's got your number? OK.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Herb.- Hey, Walter, how are we doing? - Good to see ya.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- How was the flight? - Not bad.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34That's great. Everybody's waiting to see us.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47The only way we can compete with the Eastern Bloc teams is if we change.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Change what?- The way we train, the way we prepare, even our schedule.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55What kind of schedule changes?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Make it longer, more competitive. - Longer? Are you gonna pay for that?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02We also need to change the way we play the game.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05What exactly does that mean?

0:04:05 > 0:04:10We adopt a new style, a hybrid of the Soviet and Canadian schools.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14A combination that requires the highest level of conditioning,

0:04:14 > 0:04:18speed, creativity, and most of all, team chemistry.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23- Do you use this at the University of Minnesota?- We're phasing it in, yes.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28- They've won three NCAA titles. - We don't have years. We have months.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Can you take kids who've never played together

0:04:31 > 0:04:34and teach them a whole new style?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- OK...- What if they can't pick it up fast enough?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39We all know we're a long shot for a medal

0:04:39 > 0:04:44- but we don't want to be embarrassed. - That's right.- That's right.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Bob, four years ago our Olympic team lost to the Czech B-team.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53It was 15-1. I don't think we can embarrass ourselves more than that.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Assuming they don't go pro. I don't know about you.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'd have a hard time giving up money to finish 6th at Lake Placid.

0:05:00 > 0:05:05- It's a tough draw.- It's a tough draw even if we don't play the Soviets.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08- What happens if we do?- That's - - We put our best with them last year,

0:05:08 > 0:05:13- professional All-Stars. They won. - Not because you weren't good enough.

0:05:19 > 0:05:24All-Star teams fail because they rely solely on the individuals' talent.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28The Soviets win because they take that talent and use it in a system

0:05:28 > 0:05:33that's designed to benefit the team. I aim to beat them at their own game.

0:05:35 > 0:05:40Beat the best in the world, gold medallists in '64, '68, '72 and '76?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Pretty lofty goal.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46That's why I want to pursue it.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Fellas, any more questions? - I'm good.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Thanks. - Good to see you again.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Herb, thanks.- Thanks a lot. - I appreciate it.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Hey! - It's coming down out there.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Hey, where are the kids? - I gave them away.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22How did it go?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm not their guy.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30They only had me come out there cos two other coaches already said no.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33I think they're still looking East Coast.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- What's that? - It's a costume party, Herb.- No.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Nick and Nora Charles, the Thin Man! - You're gonna make me wear that.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45They're sophisticated and dashing and debonair!

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I've got a moustache for you and a little dog for me. (BARKS)

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Excuse me.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07- (PHONE RINGS)- Linda, can you get that for me?- Oh, sure.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Hello.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16He is. Just a moment. Patty, it's for Herb. Someone from the USOC.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Blues, 8-0! - It's gonna be a dramatic comeback.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Go.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Herb. - Yeah?

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Herb, you've got a call from Colorado.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41We're not done here.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48So, then he just went along with that?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Well, I appreciate that, Walter. Thank you.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- What did they say? - I got the job.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- (LAUGHS) - I got the job. How about that, huh?

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Oh, great! When do you start? - Two weeks.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Two weeks, you start that soon? - The games are in February so...

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Yeah, but it's June. Is there even ice?- Mommy!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- We're supposed to take the kids to the Black Hills.- I know.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20- Cleopatra's leaving and she wants to say goodbye to you.- OK, OK.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I've got to call Craig Patrick right now.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- How are you doing?- Good. - Phil Verchota.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Name. - Ralph Cox, UNH.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Name, please. - Mike Ramsey.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Jack O'Callahan, right? - Last time I checked.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Good luck.- Thanks. - Who's next?

0:09:02 > 0:09:07- Jimmy Craig! - Hey, Jack.- What's up?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- How's it going?- Good. - Any reason why Mullen's not here?

0:09:10 > 0:09:14About 30,000 of them, all sitting in his New York back account.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- He got a 30,000 signing bonus? - Crazy, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20How's it looking?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23A lot of guys from Minnesota and Boston.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yeah, that's gonna work(!)

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Robin McClanahan?

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yeah.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Mike Eruzione, Boston University.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- '76. - '76!

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Playing for Brooks a little more, huh?

0:09:57 > 0:10:01I played for him for four years. A few more months wouldn't hurt.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04What about you?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Just trying to play a little more hockey, that's all.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Rest of your boys all here? - Of course. Think they'd miss this?

0:10:13 > 0:10:17You might want to wait a day or so before you go over and say hi.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Man, look at that move.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Eruzione.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06Cross him off the list. He doesn't have a shot of making this team.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Think so? - No way.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Doc cleared him, says it's just a sprain.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51I wanna let you know how much I'm looking forward to working with you.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56You were a helluva player. You're gonna make a helluva coach.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Thanks.- I need you to stick tight with these kids.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Any big problems, let me know, otherwise you take care of it.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05OK.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Take a look at that.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- What's this? - 26 names.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19The tough part is getting it down to 20 before the opening ceremony.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22This is the final roster?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28You're kidding me, right?

0:12:31 > 0:12:35This is our first day, Herb. We've got a week of this.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41What about the advisory staff? Aren't they supposed to have a say?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Technically, I guess.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50You're missing some of the best players.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I'm not looking for the best players,

0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm looking for the right ones.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59You have Jim Craig to back up Janaszak?

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Other way around. - Other way around?!

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Janaszak just won you a national championship.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10Janny's solid but we're not playing a national championship here, Craig.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16People I speak to say Craig's game has been off since his mom died.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Did they ever see him when his game was on?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Hughes, Ross...

0:13:24 > 0:13:26..Auge, Delich...

0:13:26 > 0:13:28..Horsch...

0:13:56 > 0:13:58..Johnson, Craig...

0:13:58 > 0:14:02..Cox, Eruzione.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06That's the roster for now. The rest of you, thanks for coming out.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Way to go, Rizzo!

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Take a good look, gentlemen...

0:14:37 > 0:14:41..cos they're the ones getting off easy.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44We're putting a few of you on reserve,

0:14:44 > 0:14:48in case somebody gets injured or their game goes to hell.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52The final roster will have 20 names on it so more of you are going home.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58If you give 99 percent, you'll make my job very, very easy.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'll be your coach. I won't be your friend.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05If you need one of those, take it up with Doc or Coach Patrick.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13Alright, gentlemen. Congratulations to all of you.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16That's it for today. On the way out, pick up one of these.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19You've got a little homework to do before you celebrate.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Thank you.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Herb!

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Herb, hold on a minute.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Hey, Walter, how are we doing?

0:15:39 > 0:15:43- I think we've got a problem, Herb. - What's that?

0:15:43 > 0:15:48People want to have a say in this process and you've picked the team.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Look, Walter -- No, no. There's a right way to do this kind of thing

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- and this is not it! - You've got a job to do.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59- If I was in your shoes, I'd probably be saying the same thing.- Alright.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Let's go upstairs and piece together a hockey team,

0:16:03 > 0:16:07- all of us, together. - Walter, that's not gonna happen.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12Do you realise what the AHA went through to put this thing together?

0:16:12 > 0:16:16The best amateur players on the ice for a week, not just a day.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I didn't ask for that because I know my team.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23How? Those kids have been on the ice for, what, a couple of hours?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Each one was chosen for a specific reason.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28I've studied film on each boy.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31I've watched them. I've coached them!

0:16:31 > 0:16:34And the ones I haven't, I've spoken with their coaches.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39I know best what I need to compete and the team I've chosen is it.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42What am I supposed to say to the committee?

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Tell them the truth.- This puts me in a helluva spot, Herb.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- A helluva spot!- You hired me to a job. I'm trying to do it.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Alright, I'm going to back you on this

0:16:59 > 0:17:02but I hope you know what you're doing.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07(GIRLS GIGGLE)

0:17:08 > 0:17:11(PEOPLE CHATTER)

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Billy, what are you on? - My test is done.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- We're done. Are you done? - Yeah!

0:17:22 > 0:17:25"You get stopped by a policeman but you're not at fault."

0:17:25 > 0:17:28"Do you state your disagreement right away?"

0:17:29 > 0:17:34- He's got 300 of these things.- It's a test, Silky. You've taken one before.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Not to play hockey, I haven't. - Can you even read, Silky?- I try.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40- (LAUGHS) - Hey, Rizzo.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- What's going on? - Mac.

0:17:51 > 0:17:56- Easy.- I don't know how you can sit in the same room with that clown.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Let it go. It's over. - What's going on here?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03OC's got a little unfinished business.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Not for long. - What did I tell you?

0:18:10 > 0:18:14McClanahan? You're not still going on about the '76 play-offs, are you?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Come on, that was, like, three years ago!

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Let me ask you a question. Why do you want to play college hockey?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Isn't it obvious? For the girls. - I'm serious, Coxy!

0:18:25 > 0:18:30- Why do you want to play college hockey?- Cos I love to play hockey.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33I want to go to the NHL. Everybody does.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38I wanted to win a national championship. He cheap-shots me.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42I get tossed out of the game. He steals the ring right off my finger.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44How would you feel?

0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Everyone was throwing cheap shots that night.- It's funny you say that.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51I was wondering what side you're on.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- I'm on your side. - It really seems that way(!)

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Relax, OK? Jeez! - (MUTTERS) I'm out of here.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Where are you going?

0:19:03 > 0:19:07To my room. Is that alright with you, Mother?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Just let him go.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13No wonder that guy gets so many penalties.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16He gets a little carried away.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23- 'That's it. Pick it up. That's it.' - 'Keep it up!'

0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Look for the pass. Hit it with the pass.- Outside!- Let's go, Johnson!

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Alright, hit him on the other side. - Toss for it!

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Move and hit him, Johnson. He's open!

0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Centre! Centre! - Come on, Johnson!

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Johnson!

0:19:43 > 0:19:48- Coast-to-coast won't work against the teams we'll be playing.- OK.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Next line-up. Let's go. Let's run it again.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Morrow, let me take this one.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Don't let 'em in. Keep your head up. - This is a break-out play, gentlemen.

0:20:05 > 0:20:10So, please, let's get rid of the puck early. Alright, let's go!

0:20:27 > 0:20:31- What the hell are you doing? - What did you hit him like that for?

0:20:31 > 0:20:35- That's it, OC.- Tell your boy to keep his head up. He won't have to worry.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Alright? - Let's go!

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Craig, let them go.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Stay out of it.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Forget him, OC. What are you doing? - Stay out of it.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Give it to him.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Go on, Mac.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15Well, how about it, boys? Look like hockey to you?

0:21:16 > 0:21:21Looks more like a couple of monkeys trying to hump a football to me.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Yeah.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28If you want to settle old scores, you're on the wrong team.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32We move forward starting right now.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35We start becoming a team right now!

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Skating,

0:21:41 > 0:21:43passing,

0:21:43 > 0:21:44flow,

0:21:44 > 0:21:46creativity,

0:21:46 > 0:21:51that is what this team is all about, gentlemen, not old rivalries.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Let's start with some introductions, get to know each other.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Where you're from. Who you are. Go ahead.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Rob McClanahan. St Paul, Minnesota.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Who do you play for? - For you here at the U.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Jack.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28Charlestown, Mass. Boston University.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Over here.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Er, I'm Ralph Cox.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39I'm from wherever is not gonna get me hit.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41(ALL LAUGH)

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Very good. Everybody on a line. Let's go.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50(KNOCKING)

0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Hey, Jim.- Hey, coach.- I was wondering why you wouldn't take this test.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yeah, well...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04It's nothing against you or anything.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08I just didn't see what it has to do with stopping a puck.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11That's alright. You took it anyway.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Hey, coach.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30- So, if I took it...?- I meant to ask. How's your family doing?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33They're doing alright.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35And you?

0:23:35 > 0:23:38OK.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42I've got 26 guys trying to make this team, Jim.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Only 20 are going to Lake Placid.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I've got to know how committed you are.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51Because if you're not, you're just wasting our time.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Look, coach,

0:23:56 > 0:23:59my dad's going through a rough time right now.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03He's got nothing.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07He lost his job and with Atlanta trying to sign me...

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Bottom line is my mom wanted this.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Me playing on this team.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22Hard to say no to someone who drove you to practice every day. Right?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26You didn't answer my question, Jim.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29I'm here, aren't I?

0:24:34 > 0:24:39I'll see you in the morning. Don't forget to bring your game.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45(HORNS HONK)

0:24:51 > 0:24:54(RADIO) "The Soviets performed a nuclear test,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57"setting off a 75 kiloton bomb in Kazakhstan."

0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Ah! So much hate and fear. - What's that?

0:25:01 > 0:25:06The Soviets and the West. Nuclear weapons pointing at each other.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11Oh, they'll figure something out, Doc. They've got no other choice.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15I hope so but it seems to me that some people will never get along.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Yeah? - "That's the news. Now more music."

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Like hockey players from Boston and Minnesota.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Our own private Cold War!

0:25:24 > 0:25:27(BOTH LAUGH)

0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Hey, Doc, let me ask you a question. - Of course.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34- You've worked with Herb for a long time, right?- For quite some time.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Does he always treat his players like this?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42No. No, no, this I have never seen.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48But, Craig, believe me, Herb has a reason for everything he does.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well, he's ended up with 20 players who hate his guts.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Maybe if they hate him, they won't have time to hate each other.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Hey, honey.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26- How much longer are you gonna be? - I've still got a few more.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Well, I'm going to bed, OK? - OK.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35Oh, you know, Kelly has ballet at 4:00 tomorrow

0:26:35 > 0:26:39and Danny's done at the same time. Which one do you want to get?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Herb? - Yeah?

0:26:41 > 0:26:46- Can you pick up Danny at 4:00?- We've got team meetings after practice.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- I can't be in two places at once. - What about Margie?

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- They're on vacation. - You'll figure it out.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Can you turn that off, please?

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Please.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Over the summer the kids are off doing a zillion different things.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Sometimes your meetings have to wait.- Come on!

0:27:11 > 0:27:15I'm coaching a hockey team here. We already talked about this.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Really? When exactly did we have this talk?

0:27:18 > 0:27:21I don't recall being a part of the conversation.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24What did I say? Was it interesting?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27We never had this talk.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Never.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- OK, what's on your mind? - Nothing.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37You're obviously mad about something.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40You're upset because we didn't talk. When I try to talk

0:27:40 > 0:27:43about whatever it is, you don't want to. So, Patty -

0:27:43 > 0:27:46Herb, it's not because we didn't talk.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's because you never even asked.

0:27:53 > 0:27:58- I know what this is about. I know it and you know it.- What? Know what?

0:27:58 > 0:28:02This, what you're doing - chasing after something you didn't get,

0:28:02 > 0:28:04that you may never get!

0:28:07 > 0:28:10What if it doesn't work out, Herb?

0:28:10 > 0:28:13Are we gonna do this every four years?

0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's OK. Go finish your work. Go, go.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Hey.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Hey.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13You know...

0:30:15 > 0:30:18..ever since I stopped playing...

0:30:19 > 0:30:22..I wanted to coach this team.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26This is the only way I know how to do it.

0:30:27 > 0:30:32It's not the easiest way, I know, for you or the kids.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Patty, I have to do this.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41I know you do.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56I'm sorry we didn't talk.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00And I was wrong not to ask.

0:31:02 > 0:31:07So I'm asking now if you, you know, if you can be with me on this?

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Because it won't mean anything if you're not.

0:31:28 > 0:31:33Blue line, back. Red line, back. Far blue line, back. Far red line, back.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35You have 45 seconds to do it.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39Get used to this drill. We'll be doing it a lot.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Why?

0:31:42 > 0:31:46Because the legs feed the wolf, gentlemen.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53I can't promise you we'll be the best team at Lake Placid next February.

0:31:55 > 0:32:00But we will be the best conditioned team. That I can promise you.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05Be prepared to grow through pain, gentlemen.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08You're gonna skate harder than you ever have

0:32:08 > 0:32:11every minute you're on the ice with me.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15Stretch things out north and south, you open things up east and west.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18This far-side winger takes the centre spot.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22- What's your name?- Mark Johnson. - From?- Madison, Wisconsin.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Who do you play for? - University of Wisconsin.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Go, boys! Go, boys!

0:32:33 > 0:32:35No. No. (WHISTLE BLOWS)

0:32:35 > 0:32:40Stop! Look at you - three men being covered by one guy.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43This isn't weaving for weaving's sake.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45'Spread out! Use the ice!'

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Come on, Jimmy, challenge him.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52On the side here, Jimmy. Challenge!

0:32:53 > 0:32:57- (WHISTLE BLOWS) - 'I don't blame you.'

0:32:57 > 0:33:01- How are you holding up? - Oh, no, not good. Not good.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05- You?- My name's Christian.- Who do you play for?- University of North Dakota.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07No! No, no, no!

0:33:07 > 0:33:10You're quarterback in this play!

0:33:10 > 0:33:15I've got you running this play. All you're gonna run is the bench.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19Boom. He can hit him. Boom, boom, boom. We're opening up options.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22We've got four options off one play, guys.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Got that? Any questions?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27OK, let's go.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30- What the hell is he talking about? - No clue.

0:33:32 > 0:33:3520 of you are going to Lake Placid. Six are going home.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Who that is, is up to you.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41- You?- Mark Pavelich. - Who do you play for?- UMD Bulldogs.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59- That was fast! Good shot. - That was a good shot.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03Er, you three, run that again.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Again? - Let's go.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09We've got a chance in hell of winning.

0:34:09 > 0:34:14- I understand how you feel. Let them know that.- Yeah.- Alright.- Thanks.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19- So, the Coneheads are coming in? - Who?

0:34:19 > 0:34:23That's what the guys are calling them cos they're... (WHISTLES)

0:34:23 > 0:34:26- You know, like the Coneheads. - What's that?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin...

0:34:29 > 0:34:33- I guess it's off your radar. - (KNOCK AT DOOR)

0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Come on in, boys. - You wanted to see us, coach.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42Yeah, I'm thinking about keeping you three together on the same line.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Everybody OK with that?

0:34:44 > 0:34:49- Yeah.- Sure.- How about you, Buzz? Do you think this works?

0:34:49 > 0:34:53Yeah, we're moving the puck well. It's different playing with them.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57Yeah, we always seem to find each other and make things happen.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Yeah - pass, shoot, score. - Pass, shoot...- And score.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Well, alright, I'll see how she goes.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10- Alright.- Thanks, coach.- Thanks. - Take it easy.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Rest up.

0:35:14 > 0:35:19Well, it looks like we're taking a line of Coneheads to Europe.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Yeah, if they can keep their legs under them.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29Alright, Herb, I'll see you next week.

0:35:31 > 0:35:36Something on your mind, Craig, or is that just too far off my radar?

0:35:40 > 0:35:44You know, I just don't think you can push them this hard for six months.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48- It's too long.- They're doing alright.- The whole team's tired.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51I know how hard to push them, Craig.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Are you sure about that? - Know why I had them take that test?

0:35:54 > 0:35:58To make sure I could push them this hard. I'll see you Monday.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01Alright.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42Wow! Dynamite! Look over here. Sexy two about four rows up.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Two girls - blonde. - Man, they're gorgeous!

0:36:51 > 0:36:56- Twins about the seventh row up. - Seventh row up.- Lovely blonde girls.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00- Maybe we can take a few home. - Must be something in the water.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32and then go to the Olympics and win,

0:39:32 > 0:39:37you've got another thing coming. (BLOWS WHISTLE)

0:39:45 > 0:39:48You'd better think about something else, each and every one of you.

0:39:48 > 0:39:53When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your team.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57The name on the front is a lot more important than the one on the back.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01Get that through your head! Again!

0:40:20 > 0:40:24Win, lose or tie, you're gonna play like champions. Again.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35Kick it in the ass, Verchota! Wanna go home early?

0:40:35 > 0:40:39Keep going, Suter, all the way to the line and all the way back.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Tell him to leave the keys. I'll lock up. Again.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Again! (BLOWS WHISTLE)

0:41:26 > 0:41:30If you keep playing this way, you won't beat anybody who's good,

0:41:30 > 0:41:33let alone great. If you want to make this team,

0:41:33 > 0:41:39start playing at a level that's going to force me to keep you here!

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Again!

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Do you think we're getting out of here?

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Hey, where are you going?

0:43:11 > 0:43:14because common men go nowhere.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17You have to be uncommon.

0:45:01 > 0:45:05Come on, you Minnesotans! My back hurts from carrying you all.

0:45:05 > 0:45:10Pretend you're pushing tyres. Stop talking about it. Start pushing.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13- What have you got?- Three nines. - Not bad.

0:45:13 > 0:45:18- I've got two sevens. - We were taxiing out to the runway

0:45:18 > 0:45:22and we...we kinda hit a moose.

0:45:53 > 0:45:57"The Soviets, led by the superb play of captain, Boris Mikhailov,

0:45:57 > 0:46:00were superior to the NHL stars in every way."

0:46:07 > 0:46:12"..to a 6-0 win. An embarrassing evening for the NHL All-Stars."

0:46:24 > 0:46:26Russian style of play, boys.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29Fluid, creative.

0:46:29 > 0:46:32The forwards are constantly circling.

0:46:34 > 0:46:38They don't so much look for the man, as they do a patch of ice.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41You get the miss-match, two on one, easy goal.

0:46:41 > 0:46:44- A lot like me out there, huh, boys? - (LAUGH)

0:46:46 > 0:46:49Boris Mikhailov.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53Captain for the last six years. He's the best player in his position.

0:46:53 > 0:46:56That includes the NHL.

0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Do they ever smile?- They're Russian. They get shot if they smile.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03(LAUGH)

0:47:03 > 0:47:06- Vladislav Tretiak. - Wow!

0:47:06 > 0:47:09If you score on Tretiak, keep the puck.

0:47:09 > 0:47:12It doesn't happen often.

0:47:13 > 0:47:1742 games in the last three months. 42 wins.

0:47:17 > 0:47:20Their main weapon is intimidation.

0:47:20 > 0:47:25They know they're gonna win and so do their opponents.

0:47:42 > 0:47:43Look...

0:47:44 > 0:47:48..I can give you all a load of crap about how you're a better team

0:47:48 > 0:47:51but that's exactly what it'd be.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54Everyone knows what people are saying about our chances.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57I know it. You know it.

0:47:58 > 0:48:00But I also know

0:48:00 > 0:48:03there is a way to stay with this team.

0:48:07 > 0:48:11You don't defend them. You attack them.

0:48:11 > 0:48:15You take their game and you shove it right back in their face!

0:48:15 > 0:48:18The team that is willing to do this

0:48:18 > 0:48:22is the team that has a chance to put them down.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27NHL won't change their game. We will.

0:48:28 > 0:48:31The rest of the world is afraid of them.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35Boys, we won't be.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13I want to stretch things out, north and south.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16- Take me through it. - I'm gonna stretch the D out.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20- It'll open up space.- I'm gonna fill it.- I'm gonna fill in for Pavelich.

0:50:45 > 0:50:49That's it, Jimmy! Don't let them have you, Jimmy! Yeah!

0:50:49 > 0:50:52(WHISTLE BLOWS) Come on, build your legs up, boys.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05- Let's go, Craig. - What's going on?

0:51:05 > 0:51:09- We're playing the Soviets three days before Lake Placid.- How about that?

0:51:09 > 0:51:11How about that?

0:51:12 > 0:51:14How about that?

0:51:15 > 0:51:17That won't work.

0:51:17 > 0:51:21Oh, Rizzo, you're killing me. Why can't you find the net?

0:51:21 > 0:51:26You've been staring at the same piece of paper since dinner.

0:51:27 > 0:51:32- I can't cut this kid. He's done everything I've asked.- So keep him.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36I didn't think it was gonna be this hard.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Well, I should probably get going.

0:52:55 > 0:52:57Yeah.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01I love you, Pop.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04You, too, son.

0:53:07 > 0:53:12- Jimmy.- Yeah. - You keep that glove up.- Got it.

0:53:24 > 0:53:28- Switch.- Rizzo's making dinner. There's gonna be some meatballs!

0:53:28 > 0:53:33- If you boys keep eating them, I'll keep making them.- You're insane!

0:53:33 > 0:53:36- No offence, Rizzo. - (ALL LAUGH)

0:53:36 > 0:53:40- I wonder how it's gonna affect the chemistry of the boys.- We'll see.

0:53:40 > 0:53:42Timmy!

0:53:50 > 0:53:53- Who the hell is that? - What's he doing here?

0:53:56 > 0:53:58- How are you doing, Tim? Good to see you.- Thanks, coach.

0:53:58 > 0:54:02- Hey, Bob.- Yeah? - Who's that guy?

0:54:02 > 0:54:06Timmy Hotter, plays for the Gophers. Having a big year.

0:54:06 > 0:54:09- What the hell's he doing here? - No idea.

0:54:09 > 0:54:13- Why's he here? - Did you guys know he was coming?

0:54:13 > 0:54:18Listen, why don't you warm up and jump on Johnson's line today.

0:54:33 > 0:54:36- See you, boys. - See you.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49- This is ridiculous!- Don't worry about it. It'll be alright.

0:54:49 > 0:54:54- Right, OC?- Herb's not gonna do a damn thing, boys.

0:54:54 > 0:54:58- He's just messing with our minds. - Oh, you think so, Jack?

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Yeah, I do.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05We all know Herb made the Olympic team in '60.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07So?

0:55:07 > 0:55:11So a week before the games, Coach Riley sends him home.

0:55:11 > 0:55:15- What's your point? - My point, Jack,

0:55:15 > 0:55:19is one week later Herb's watching his team win the gold medal.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22Come that close and get nothing,

0:55:22 > 0:55:24he'll do whatever it takes.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28That's my point.

0:55:31 > 0:55:34Yeah, I'm aware of that, Walter.

0:55:35 > 0:55:39Yeah. Yeah, well you talk to everybody else, then. Alright.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43There's nothing else we can do. Thanks.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Is everything OK?

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Walter says that there's talk

0:55:49 > 0:55:53that Carter may boycott the Moscow games next summer.

0:55:54 > 0:55:58So, if we don't go there, they might not come here. Right?

0:55:58 > 0:56:00Right.

0:56:05 > 0:56:08Don't do this to yourself, Herb.

0:56:08 > 0:56:12- There are things you can control and things you can't.- No milk.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16- Herb. - Yeah, I heard you, honey.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27You'll still have everything you won here at Minnesota.

0:56:27 > 0:56:31Don't tell me what I'll have, Patty. You don't know enough to tell me.

0:56:33 > 0:56:38I understand you being upset with me when I say you work too hard

0:56:38 > 0:56:42teaching a simple game but don't criticise me for caring about you.

2:59:50 > 2:59:57.

3:00:01 > 3:00:05That's it. Come on, boys. Watch it. Go now! Move!

3:00:06 > 3:00:09- Damn it! - Come on, Rizzo!

3:00:10 > 3:00:12- I know, coach. I know. - You know?

3:00:12 > 3:00:15If you knew, then, why did you do it again?

3:00:16 > 3:00:20Start putting the puck in the net or you're not going anywhere.

3:00:22 > 3:00:26Don't think I won't do it. Johnson, line up, let's go. (WHISTLE BLOWS)

3:00:31 > 3:00:33Come on!

3:00:33 > 3:00:37- Stick to the lines. - Play it centre, centre, centre!

3:00:37 > 3:00:43Move it up! Dropping back. Go to the net, Timmy! Go to the net!

3:00:45 > 3:00:47- Whoo! Yeah! - Yeah!

3:00:47 > 3:00:49Nice play, boys.

3:00:49 > 3:00:54- (TANNOY) "Goal scored by number 18, Jim Harrer."- Change them up, boys.

3:01:04 > 3:01:09Timmy! Play into the net. That's all I care about.

3:01:41 > 3:01:44Herb, some of the boys want to have a word.

3:01:45 > 3:01:49- What about? - Take it out here, man.

3:02:00 > 3:02:03This had better take about two minutes.

3:02:07 > 3:02:11This is crazy, Herb, bringing him in this late.

3:02:11 > 3:02:13We've got parents buying tickets.

3:02:13 > 3:02:17- What are we supposed to tell them? - One of us is going home as it is.

3:02:17 > 3:02:21- I don't have to ask where you stand, Rizzo?- This wasn't Rizzo's idea.

3:02:21 > 3:02:24Want me to say I'm scared of getting cut?

3:02:24 > 3:02:29- I'm scared of getting cut. Everybody is.- We just want it to be fair.

3:02:29 > 3:02:32- He was in Colorado. - That was six months ago.

3:02:32 > 3:02:35- You don't think he's been playing? - Not with us.- So?

3:02:35 > 3:02:39- So there's a difference.- Like hell there is! That kid can play.

3:02:39 > 3:02:43- And we can't? - He moves the puck. Great vision.

3:02:43 > 3:02:45That's not the point!

3:02:45 > 3:02:49Something else he's got is the attitude I want on and off the ice.

3:02:49 > 3:02:53Explain why I shouldn't be giving him a helluva look!

3:02:53 > 3:02:56Because we're a family.

3:02:56 > 3:02:59- What? - We're a family.

3:03:00 > 3:03:03A family?

3:03:03 > 3:03:04Yeah.

3:03:04 > 3:03:06Yeah.

3:03:11 > 3:03:15And this is the family you want to go to Lake Placid with?

3:03:15 > 3:03:19- Definitely.- Without a doubt. - Wouldn't have it any other way.

3:03:22 > 3:03:26Timmy Harrer can help us, boys, and I'm going to send him home.

3:03:27 > 3:03:31We've got one more to get down to 20. Understand?

3:03:31 > 3:03:32Yeah.

3:11:00 > 3:11:03They're gonna prove how good they are

3:11:03 > 3:11:05by beating us over here on our own ice.

3:11:05 > 3:11:08"They're all gonna play. The Soviets, the Czechs,

3:11:08 > 3:11:12the whole bunch of them. You got your roster finalised yet?"

3:11:14 > 3:11:16Yeah, I've got my team.

3:11:16 > 3:11:19"I still don't know why you scheduled this, Herb."

3:11:19 > 3:11:23"But get your guys to New York. They've got a game to play."

3:11:23 > 3:11:25# Oh, say

3:11:25 > 3:11:29# Does that star-spangled

3:11:29 > 3:11:32# Banner yet wave...

3:12:31 > 3:12:35Some cheers but a few boos going through the crowd, as well.

3:12:36 > 3:12:40And now the two teams clear the ice and repair to their respective goals

3:12:40 > 3:12:43as we get set for the opening face-off

3:13:49 > 3:13:52Moving in with a shot stopped by Craig.

3:14:56 > 3:14:58I think we're gonna be alright.

3:14:58 > 3:15:01They've been playing together for years.

3:15:01 > 3:15:03Our kids are getting to know each other.

3:15:03 > 3:15:07- They could have won 30-0. - Coach Brooks! Can we get a comment?

3:15:07 > 3:15:11- What about the game?- How is he? - I'm not sure if he'll need surgery.

3:15:11 > 3:15:15- I'm hoping it's a ligament pull. - We've got three days till Sweden.

3:15:15 > 3:15:18You give them a roster spot, it's a waste of time.

3:15:18 > 3:15:21- Best case, Doc.- He'll miss three of four games minimum.

3:15:21 > 3:15:24- The qualifying round. - The kid's made the team.

3:15:24 > 3:15:28He's busted his ass for seven months and now I've gotta send him home.

3:15:56 > 3:15:59- What did Doc say? - He doesn't know yet.

3:15:59 > 3:16:04He's gonna go with you to hospital and get a picture of your knee taken.

3:16:04 > 3:16:06And...

3:16:08 > 3:16:10And then we'll see.

3:16:23 > 3:16:25(SIGHS)

3:16:53 > 3:16:57- I'm thinking about sitting you down, Jim.- What?

3:16:57 > 3:17:01- What are you talking about?- It's not your fault. You're too tired.

3:17:01 > 3:17:04It's time I gave Janny a look. He's been waiting for seven months.

3:17:04 > 3:17:07- You're kidding me? Now?! - Of course I mean now.

3:17:07 > 3:17:10- That's my net, man. - They scored ten goals.

3:17:10 > 3:17:13Right now it's everybody's net.

3:17:14 > 3:17:17Wait! I've given you everything I've got!

3:17:17 > 3:17:20- You're pulling the plug on me? - Have you

3:17:20 > 3:17:24given me your very best? Cos I know there's a lot more in you.

3:17:24 > 3:17:27A whole other level that for some reason you don't want to go to.

3:17:27 > 3:17:30You don't understand what I'm talking about.

3:17:30 > 3:17:34No, I'll tell you what I don't understand. I don't understand you.

3:17:34 > 3:17:38Nobody on this team understands you and your ridiculous sayings,

3:17:38 > 3:17:42your drills, those stupid psychology tests you had everybody take.

3:17:42 > 3:17:44Everybody?

3:17:45 > 3:17:47What, so that's what this is about?

3:17:47 > 3:17:49Because I didn't take your test?

3:17:49 > 3:17:53You want me to take your test? I'll take it. Is that what you want?

3:17:53 > 3:17:58No. I want to see that kid in the net who wouldn't take the test.

3:18:04 > 3:18:07You've gotta be kidding me. What did he do?

3:18:07 > 3:18:10"He did something amazing, Herb!"

3:18:10 > 3:18:12"He... He started to laugh!"

3:18:12 > 3:18:16"And then everybody in the whole audience started to laugh."

3:18:16 > 3:18:19"It sounds funny but I was so proud of him!"

3:18:19 > 3:18:22I was starting to think that our son takes after you!

3:18:22 > 3:18:24Well, that's all part of my plan.

3:18:24 > 3:18:27Well, you're a very smart woman.

3:18:27 > 3:18:31(CHUCKLES) I miss you.

3:18:31 > 3:18:33The games are a couple of days away.

3:18:33 > 3:18:37- "Have you got airplane tickets?" - Oh, yeah. Walter had them sent over.

3:18:37 > 3:18:41- Yeah. - I guess I'll see ya then.

3:18:41 > 3:18:45- "You sound tired. You should try and get some sleep."- Yeah, I will.

3:18:45 > 3:18:49- "Alright. I'll talk to you - - Hey, Patty?- "Yeah?"

3:18:50 > 3:18:52I miss you, too.

3:18:52 > 3:18:55"Good night."

3:18:55 > 3:18:57Good night.

3:19:33 > 3:19:39- OK, I'll check on OC. Take care of these guys here.- Stick with me.

3:19:41 > 3:19:45This is your room key and this is your ID badge.

3:19:45 > 3:19:50Which you'll need for just about everything. Don't lose it.

3:19:50 > 3:19:52Herb! Herb!

3:19:56 > 3:19:58Herb, it'll be fine.

3:19:58 > 3:20:00I can fight through it.

3:20:00 > 3:20:03OK. Why don't you join the boys over there.

3:20:04 > 3:20:06It's good to see you, kid.

3:20:08 > 3:20:10Attaboy.

3:20:11 > 3:20:16- Well?- Good news is it's a stretched ligament. He won't need surgery.

3:20:16 > 3:20:20- There is no way he can play before the middle round.- Forget about that.

3:20:20 > 3:20:23You keep O'Callahan, you lose one more skater,

3:20:23 > 3:20:27you'll have a tough time putting a decent hockey team on the ice.

3:20:27 > 3:20:29It's that simple.

3:20:32 > 3:20:36- I'm gonna ask Herb, if he doesn't keep me...- Oh, boy!

3:20:37 > 3:20:40So, if he gets shaky it's you.

3:20:40 > 3:20:43- I will, Coach.- Alright. - You're in there tomorrow, Jimmy.

3:20:43 > 3:20:47- Let's bring it up now. - OK. Thanks a lot, Herb.

3:20:49 > 3:20:51Attaboy, Jimmy! Go get 'em.

3:20:54 > 3:20:56- I'll see you on the bus. - Alright.

3:21:18 > 3:21:21Doc said no, right?

3:21:23 > 3:21:27He said you might be able to go on in a week. Maybe two.

3:21:28 > 3:21:32- What if it's two?- That puts me in a tight spot, doesn't it?

3:21:33 > 3:21:38I've got 20 guys all looking at me to do what's best for this team.

3:21:38 > 3:21:43- I understand, Coach. - Which is why I'm hanging on to ya.

3:21:48 > 3:21:51I swear to God, Herb, if you're not being serious now...

3:21:51 > 3:21:55Only if you promise you won't ask me to play until I tell ya.

3:21:55 > 3:21:58- I won't! I mean I will! I promise you, Coach.- If you do,

3:21:58 > 3:22:02I'll stick your ass on an airplane and send you back to Boston.

3:22:05 > 3:22:08Alright, Doc's waiting for you.

3:22:08 > 3:22:10Thank you, Herb!

3:22:19 > 3:22:21Whooooh!

3:22:21 > 3:22:24OC is playin', baby!

3:22:24 > 3:22:26(LAUGHS)

3:22:58 > 3:23:01- On your feet, boys! Move your feet! - (COMMENTATOR) "Ramsey to Eruzione."

3:23:01 > 3:23:05"Eruzione carrying the puck up, drops a pass for Broten."

3:23:05 > 3:23:07"He shoots! Kicked away."

3:23:07 > 3:23:10Boys, hit that! Come on!

3:23:10 > 3:23:13"Al Michael's with Ken and with 4:10 to go in the first period,

3:23:13 > 3:23:16Sweden's leading the US 1-0."

3:23:16 > 3:23:18"Norberg to Eriksson."

3:23:18 > 3:23:22"And a big hit there. Eriksson picks up the loose puck."

3:23:22 > 3:23:25- "Passes to Lundqvist. Lundqvist to Ahlberg."- Where is it?

3:23:25 > 3:23:28- Up. This way.- OK. - Yeah, yeah! There!

3:23:28 > 3:23:31"Ahlberg shoots. Saved by Craig."

3:23:31 > 3:23:34"Eruzione fighting for it."

3:23:34 > 3:23:38"Mike Eruzione recently named team captain by Coach Herb Brooks

3:23:38 > 3:23:41"for as Herb put it, his leadership qualities on and off the ice."

3:23:41 > 3:23:43I'm taking him out.

3:23:43 > 3:23:46"US team's playing very tentative hockey tonight."

3:23:46 > 3:23:50"Tough draw having to face Sweden, third best team, coming in here."

3:23:50 > 3:23:53- You know what I mean? - No. I think it's worth a try.- OK.

3:23:54 > 3:23:57- What's the deal with Mac? - Upper leg contusion.

3:23:57 > 3:24:01- I think he's done for the night. - And if he plays?- I don't understand.

3:24:01 > 3:24:05- The injury -- If he plays on it, can he hurt it any worse?

3:24:05 > 3:24:07No. It will be very painful for him.

3:24:07 > 3:24:10And he won't be able to do very much.

3:24:16 > 3:24:18This is unbelievable!

3:24:18 > 3:24:21You guys are playing

3:24:21 > 3:24:24like this is some throwaway game up in Rochester!

3:24:24 > 3:24:26- Who are we playing, Rammer? - Sweden.

3:24:26 > 3:24:31Yeah, you're damn right Sweden! In the Olympics!

3:24:35 > 3:24:37What the hell's wrong with you?

3:24:37 > 3:24:39Put your gear on.

3:24:39 > 3:24:42I said put your gear on.

3:24:42 > 3:24:46- Doc told me I can't play.- Yeah, I know. You've got a bad bruise.

3:24:46 > 3:24:50Know what? Put your street clothes on. I've got no time for quitters.

3:24:50 > 3:24:53Come on, Herb! Nobody's quitting here.

3:24:53 > 3:24:57Worry about your own game. Plenty to keep you busy.

3:24:59 > 3:25:03Bruise on the leg is a helluva long way from the heart, you candy ass.

3:25:03 > 3:25:05- What you call me? - You heard me.

3:25:05 > 3:25:09You want me to play, huh? Is that what you want?

3:25:09 > 3:25:12- I want you to be a hockey player! - I am!

3:25:12 > 3:25:15You want me to play on one leg?! I'll play on one leg!

3:25:15 > 3:25:19- Think that'll get 'em going? - Oh, yeah. I'll clean up.

3:25:19 > 3:25:22Huh, Herb? I am a hockey player!

3:25:22 > 3:25:27"2:49 remaining. Sweden leading 2-1. The US team has fought hard

3:25:27 > 3:25:30"these two periods. They've got nothing to show for it."

3:25:30 > 3:25:33"If they don't beat or tie here, it'll be difficult

3:25:33 > 3:25:36"to advance to the middle round."

3:25:36 > 3:25:38"McClanahan after the loose puck."

3:25:38 > 3:25:42- "He's hit hard by Soderstrom." - Come on, Mac!- "McClanahan."

3:25:42 > 3:25:47"Gutting it out despite being injured earlier. Silk. Johnson."

3:26:05 > 3:26:09- The right side.- "The Swedes regain control behind their net. 1:40."

3:26:09 > 3:26:12Coneheads, you're up next.

3:26:12 > 3:26:14- "Mats Waltin." - Let's go, Buzzy.

3:26:14 > 3:26:18"Moving back to Jan Eriksson. Jan Eriksson to Hakan Eriksson."

3:26:19 > 3:26:22- "Across the US blue line." - Get it back, boys!

3:26:22 > 3:26:26"Into the corner. He circles. Passes across to Ahlberg."

3:26:26 > 3:26:29"Wrist shot. Knocked out of the air by Craig."

3:26:29 > 3:26:32(APPLAUSE)

3:26:32 > 3:26:35"Puck picked up by Suter. Moved ahead to Johnson."

3:26:35 > 3:26:36Go, go, go!

3:26:36 > 3:26:41"Johnson gets rid of it. Heads for the bench. Minute and a half left."

3:26:41 > 3:26:44"Precious seconds ticking away."

3:26:45 > 3:26:47- "Swedes in the neutral zone." - 1:20, Herb!

3:26:47 > 3:26:52"Herb Brooks has moulded this unit. 7 rigorous months of training."

3:28:32 > 3:28:37"considered the second best team in the world behind the Soviet Union."

3:28:37 > 3:28:39"The final score, 7-3."

3:28:39 > 3:28:41Why so many reporters? Are you serious?

3:28:41 > 3:28:46- We've won two games.- Think what they've had to write about

3:28:46 > 3:28:50the last couple of months. Hostages. Afghanistan. Transportation. Chaos.

3:28:50 > 3:28:53Patty probably wants to talk to about that.

3:28:53 > 3:28:56Listen, Herb, the bottom line is

3:28:56 > 3:29:01that your young guys just kicked the crap out of Czechoslovakia.

3:30:31 > 3:30:34We feel real good about what we've accomplished so far.

3:30:34 > 3:30:36(ALL SHOUT)

3:30:39 > 3:30:43Still no chance we can talk with any of your players?

3:30:43 > 3:30:45- Still no chance. - How do you respond

3:30:45 > 3:30:49to those who feel you're doing this to keep the spotlight on yourself?

3:32:57 > 3:33:00- Wow.- We're playing a hockey game against the greatest team.

3:33:00 > 3:33:04The best that's ever played hockey. Why can't we just leave it at that?

3:33:04 > 3:33:08- Because this is more than a hockey game to a lot of people.- Yeah.

3:33:08 > 3:33:13I keep running through them. Johnson on Mikhailov. Broten on Petrov.

3:33:13 > 3:33:16Pav against Whoever-ov. We just...

3:33:17 > 3:33:20We don't match up, Patty.

3:34:00 > 3:34:03That they played their hearts out.

3:37:51 > 3:37:53If we play them ten times,

3:37:53 > 3:37:56they might win nine.

3:37:58 > 3:38:00But not this game.

3:38:01 > 3:38:03Not tonight.

3:38:05 > 3:38:09Tonight we skate with them.

3:39:02 > 3:39:04I'm sick and tired of hearing about

3:39:04 > 3:39:08what a great hockey team the Soviets have.

3:39:08 > 3:39:11Screw them! This is your time!

3:39:12 > 3:39:15Now go out there and take it.

3:41:27 > 3:41:30do not know the difference between a blue line and a closed line.

3:41:30 > 3:41:35"It's irrelevant. What we have is the rarest of sporting events."

3:41:35 > 3:41:37"An event that needs no build-up."

3:41:37 > 3:41:40"In a political or nationalistic sense,

3:41:40 > 3:41:43"this game is being viewed with varying perspectives."

3:41:43 > 3:41:47"But it is a hockey game. The United States and the Soviet Union

3:42:02 > 3:42:05"the most difficult yet exhilarating time of their lives."

3:42:09 > 3:42:11"A team far better than they are,

3:42:11 > 3:42:15"one that's dominated world hockey for the last 15 years."

3:42:15 > 3:42:19- (CHANTING CONTINUES)- "In the crowd, Jim Craig's father, Donald Craig."

3:42:19 > 3:42:23"It's been a difficult time for them with the passing of Jimmy's mom."

3:42:23 > 3:42:26"One of her dreams was to have her son play on this team."

3:42:26 > 3:42:29"This must be an emotional night for them."

3:42:29 > 3:42:32(CHANTING CONTINUES)

3:42:33 > 3:42:36They don't look too nervous down there.

3:42:36 > 3:42:38"The US team very young."

3:43:11 > 3:43:13"in the nets for the Soviet Union."

3:43:13 > 3:43:18"The US team in white skating up the centre. The Soviet Union in red."

3:43:18 > 3:43:21"All business. And here we go!"

3:43:23 > 3:43:27"Face-off won by Mikhailov. Back through Kasatonov."
