On Sunday, February 24, 1980, the U.S. Hockey team defeated Finland to win the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.
Here's a schedule for that day...

So I've got a pot of hot water on for tea and I can make hot chocolate too.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

I'm just your imagination
Not a hockey fan but I do remember that Olympic game!!!
I'd love some hot chocolate. It's rainy and cold here. But better than snowy and cold for sure!!!
No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

That was a great game! I don't often watch games on TV, but we watched that one, and it was great!
Hot chocolate for all, and I'll make chocolate chocolate chip shortbreads, and make 'em round, so they look kinda like pucks! Tastier, though!

I will have some hot chocolate and a chocolate "puck"...............something sweet sounds good.
I too, saw that game. It was an exciting time. I wish our news was filled with more of the same instead of the sad stories that we have today.

Really good book about that team -
The Boys of Winter by Wayne Coffey.
Luv my kitties!
Some hot chocolate please. Freeeeeezzzzzzzing here. -23C temp -33C windchill. Which equates to -9.4F temp and -27.4F windchill. I can't wait to go home today and snuggle up with Cali and Diego.

It's Friday night and I've got a headache. I'm making another pot of tea and this time I'm going to add a little rum to my cup before I pour in the tea!

It's Friday evening, and I'd like a nice glass of white wine while I listen to Donizetti's L’elisir d’amore.
If I can't watch a hockey game, I'll take opera

The picture is of BP skating off ice with the helmets of his "foes" in hand.
The article was a very well written tribute to him.

SIX overtime periods. Oy. No matter what those ladies do from here on out, they were a part of this. Really cool stuff.

Why do I cringe when I think of women's hockey and overtime period?
-------------------
Years ago, there was a 32 inning minor league baseball game that ended late the next morning.
One player went home and was confronted by an irate wife who started in on him about his whereabouts for the almost the whole night.
"I was playing baseball...."
I stand corrected...
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bu...seball_history
At 2:00 AM Pawtucket reliever Luis Aponte, who had pitched the seventh through tenth innings, received permission to go home from his manager. However, his wife did not greet him with open arms. Upon his arrival, Xiomara Aponte asked angrily, "Where have you been?" to which the pitcher responded "At the ballpark," to which his wife snapped "Like hell you have." [2] Aponte reasoned that the news of the game would be in the Sunday papers, but its length meant that the game was still ongoing at press time and news of the game was not published until Monday. Aponte reportedly spent both nights on the couch.
