Was awesome for the US, but not close to the Miracle on ice

It was a miracle we won bc Canada honestly dominated.
Hellebuyck stood on his proverbial head

They outshot the US but 1980 was a bunch of amateurs who beat one of the greatest dynasties of all time and arguably the best team in the world.
USA and Canada are much more even with all professional players.

Oh yeah. True. I think I heard them say there were 5 golden knights out there, 3 on Canada

No doubt about it could have easily been 3-1 or better for the Canucks.
Classic well deserved win for the Americans.

It would be hilarious if Trump was taking all of his foreign policy advice from his young son Barron.

Today was more like if the NFC Champ was slightly better than the AFC Champ during the regular season and playoffs and was a 4-point favorite. Then the NFC team was the “better” team in the Super Bowl, but lost due to turnovers / a missed FG / a broken tackle that went for a 70-yard run. You could say the AFC Champ was “outplayed” and the game was an upset, but they’re more-or-less still on the same level.
The Miracle on Ice was like if you took the NCAA All-Americans (including a lot of guys who are great college cfb players but don’t end up having great/long NFL careers), formed them into a team, and they beat the Super Bowl Champs as a 28-point underdog. That one was way more of a “miracle”.

If you replicate 100 times how today’s game was played “exactly” how it was played today, yeah, Canada probably wins 85% of them. I think the U.S. played slightly below its typical standard and the Canadians played to about their normal standard today. But if you have these two teams play 100 times generally, Canada would probably only win about 55-60%.
If you have the U.S. in 1980 play the Soviets 100 times, they probably lose 97-98 of them.
ETA: I’m not sure if the downvote thinks I’m saying the U.S. didn’t deserve to win or that I’m angry about it or something. I’m thrilled the U.S. won and they put more pucks in the net today and deserved the gold. That’s not the point of my post haha.

One final thing I would also add: A goalie being on fire is part of the game of hockey and sometimes fluky… But Hellebuyck has been the best goalie in the world for 5+ years now and was literally the NHL MVP last year (EXTREMELY rare for a goalie to win it. Like a non-QB winning NFL MVP. It almost always just goes to the guy with the most points).
Going into the tournament, goaltending and defensive pairings was considered an American strength, compared to the Canadian advantage at forward. It’d be a bit different if Hellebuyck was just an above average NHL goalie (like Binnington is) and stood on his head.
No baseball fan would call it a miracle/fluke if in a game 7, Team A’s Cy Young winner outdueled Team B’s above average ace to beat Team B’s better lineup. Goaltending is part of the equation, and the U.S.’s was well-known to be superior. It’s not a fluke Hellebuyck outplayed Binnington (who was pretty good today, too).
