If the anticipation for the rematch between the US team. And the Canada team in the confrontation of the 4 nations was not high enough, Mike Eruzione’s speech will do it almost for each supporter of the stars and stripes.
The NHL made fun of its show “4 nations facing: revealed”, a look behind the scene of the NHL stars that play for their countries, with the captain of the “miracle in the ice” that pronounces a speech at a dinner of equipment.
The American team “Milagro on Ice” was the famous team that knocked down the Soviet Union at the 1980 Winter Games to win the gold medal. Eruzione, 70, was captain of that famous team.

Although the speech took place, the words that Eruzione told the US team. They are simply perfect before the championship game.
“When you wear that shirt, it separates,” said Eruzione. “This is a big problem, and you will send a message how far we have arrived in this country and the type of players we have.”
The message was already sent in Montreal when these two teams met last Saturday, a game in which three fights broke out in nine seconds and the US team. Uu finally scored three goals without response for the 3-1 victory.

But when the animosity ended, it was clear that the US team could compete with the Canada team, a group of stars that play for a country where hockey is their national sport, and have shown why many times in the past.
However, Eruzione could not have more confidence in saying that he believes that the best team in the world was right in front of him at dinner.
“You’re so good,” he said. “Open it, enjoy it. Because this is special. I can’t wait to see them play because I guess what? The best team in the world sitting right in front of me at this time.
“Salt and show it, and bring something special. That is something you will remember the rest of your lives.”

It may not be the winter Olympic Games, which will be played in Italy next year, but there is a massive sense of pride that the United States team felt in Montreal, and surely will feel in Boston on Thursday night when Puck fall into the TD garden.
