That is because the US beat the USSR at something that the USSR had been dominant at for so long. Similar to when Boston beat the Yankees a few years back (sorry Jurassic). It could have been tiddlywinks for all we care.

In all seriousness, I enjoy watching a hockey game but I don't follow it regularly.

And they play re-runs of It's a Wonderful Life, too. That doesn't mean we care about Savings and Loans.

And as Welpe points out, it's more about the story of beating the Soviets. Put a Red Dawn twist on any sporting event and Americans will watch it.

1) Hell, even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every now and then. Like every 85 years or so.....

2) I useta like hockey until they got into the left-wing locks and all the holding/hooking crap..and turned it into an NBA game. They are getting away from that now though, as my wife keeps telling me. She was born in Montreal and lived there until she was a teenager. She still has relatives there and they all live and die with Les Habitants. I had to put in a dish so she could watch as many Canadiens games as she could. She never misses one. She wouldn't watch a football, basketball or beisbol game though if her life depended on it. Silly monkey wife!

Speak for yourself, mister. Like savings. Hate loans.
