There was nothing "miracle" about what Oshie did, or the rest of that game for that matter. It's just the media, NBC especially, hyping what shouldn't be hyped. And, it cheapens what the 1980 team did big time. There is no comparison between the two, other than it being the USA vs. Russia (not even the USSR). A bigger accomplishment than the damn shoot out happened yesterday--a hat trick. They barely even mentioned it, and couldn't even mention the name of the guy who scored it. Enough already.

Probably a copyright issue.

Of course there's no comparison between the events; I'm not sure one has to believe there is in order to get a chuckle out of it, though. I didn't!
