I'll be here. As always.

- Good morning, herb. What do you say? - Where is the list?

What a system. Although I would have 68 best guys in the world,

You can't create a team in half a year. Russians do not take us seriously.

- Hockey is more important to them. - Send invitations today.

Hopefully enough will come.

Boston, Massachusetts

It's true. I play hockey. I would like them to notice me.

- For two. - Shit.

- You lost again. I got you. - Sorry.

- Half of them will go among the professionals. - Do you resent them?

You are waiting for fax, Leave the professionals.

Mine would like to become a doctor. I prefer a stick.

You won't come far with Brooks. Use the body, not sticks.

- Therefore, he does not train in the NHL. - Maybe it doesn't. - There's money.

There are other options.

Finish school. That's how you will have a reserve.

Jimmy,

owes me $ 325,000.

- Not bad, what? - Write me at the expense, bloating.

Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 1979

- Why? - To paint you. - We prefer to clean the equipment.

- I promised your father. - Your problem. - smile.

- What's going on? - They make me nervous. - they're okay.

- There are too many of them, but too little of us. - The big country is.

You will have to give space to others. Maybe two.

- I see most of these guys for the first time. - They also see you for the first time.

- Easterns are. They come from cities. - L. 1960 were full.

- We really need a lesson from history. - Did you learn this in college?

- Did you see McClanahan's pants? - I'm not paying attention to men's pants.

- They are very expensive. Certainly $ 60. - What then? It plays well.

- Wood, how are you? - I'm a little nervous.

Some of you have already played in my teams.

You probably expect a famous speech. Look to the left and right.

One of you will come to the team. Not this time.

The options are much worse.

Look for two places left and right.

It may not succeed.

There are almost 70 of you here.

Only 20 will be able to wear Olympic colors.

These will be the best of you. The best and the bravest.

Those who believe in themselves. They trust others and others.

I'm not looking for guys who want to win. They are like foliage and grass.

I am looking for guys who would like to prepare for the chance to win.

If I find 20 of them here, I will be very lucky.

Faith in yourself. Trust to another man.

The desire to prepare, regardless of the result.

I don't know what led you. But I know what can take you away.

At any time you can leave or throw you from the team.

Sooner or later you will be left with only 20.

The last 20. Believe me, that they will be the best of you.

This country deserves no less.

If you have questions Ask Craig Patrick.

I am only interested in the answers.

- They look like. - A bunch of little clicks. Long journey to the team.

Welcome to Colorado Springs, Where it is not only

warm but also hot. Does anyone have a question?

- Mike Eruzione. - Next.

- Jack O'Callahan. - Thank you, Jack.

- Steve Thompson. - Next.

- I changed my mind. - Hopefully we won't be repeatedly.

John Paradis.

- Bill Baker. - Thank you, Bill.

Mark Johnson.

- What about now? - You took the words from my tongue.

- Is it hockey or art skating? - Calm down.

- We will certainly find 20 great ones. - When you find them, tell me.

You can start. Speed ​​and agility. Let them work hard.

They probably went to the movies. Grazier on a scale of one to 10.

- 9.5. Reliable under pressure. - Who can be a reserve?

- Johnson or Paradis. - Are they durable? Will you last?

- 15 seconds. Let's go. - They are fast. - Not enough.

You think you will beat like this Europeans? Let's go.

- Let it play with your heart. Paradis escapes. - One of the best.

It does not give us 100 percent. We do not need lazy people in the attack. Let's go.

45. Let's go, let's go.

Hi, herb. Do you have time? I would like to talk about my client.

- Grazier. - Grazier's lawyer. - Get it out.

Losing time. He came because That the professionals would

- think - not to need them. - I'm sorry. It's just one.

- I can't be everywhere. - You have to be. You are my eyes and ears.

Didn't we agree with lawyers?

What the boys tell me, - they tell me in confidentiality.

Really?

Remember, that you are part of management.

I'm not saying spies. I tell you to do your job.

If the boys are gone, tell me, That I can leave too.

Morrow is stable. But in two weeks he will marry.

The boys from the east are on the border. Especially craig.

He goes badly for him.

- He will probably go to Atlanta Flames. Talk to them? - No.

- That doesn't mean anything. He is represented by a lawyer. - Kaminsky?

- No, Bob Murray. - Participate.

They promised, That they will leave the boys alone.

For now, they leave them. They are interested in What kind of team will you put together.

- So I have to answer lawyers. - They are part of the business.

We have to accept, we have to, that they have the best other options.

Boys who think of other options do not help.

This must be the only option for them.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Do you play hockey? - I'm a goalkeeper. - Are you alone?

If you do not count others 20 hockey players here, I'm alone.

- Shouldn't be in bed? - Possible.

- Mary is my friend. - Right.

- Your friends are my friends. - Pick up.

- Are we going? - Get away or I'll be me. - You're a jerk.

I'll tell you something. What you do now is...

Forget. You behave like big fish.

You have big lawyers and offers. My sermon will not be stuck.

- Mr. Brooks, there was a misunderstanding. - Mr. Brooks is my father. I'm Herb.

Yes, sir.

Another x, then you will come back, where you came from.

In this way, I can lose a lot of good players. Maybe.

You create a reputation, who can ruin your career.

Understand me well. No one is irreplaceable.

No one. I want a winning team.

I want even more a team that I will be proud of. Which has a character.

I prefer to exclude you and return to the

old job than to embarrass me and myself.

Nothing is worth it. Now pick up.

Some are barely adulthood. There are children.

That's exactly what the Russians think. We can surprise them.

We show them children with character.

Maybe defeat will not be that bitter.

- Patrick, do you have names? - 26.

They will be on the bulletin board in the morning. Rizzy, Herb needs you.

See you.

- Will he eliminate him? - I just work here. Who pays beer?

I'm not welcome? Where will you be?

- Maybe Herb will look for you. - Across the street at Cecil.

We'll drink some beers.

- Consider. I have no better advice. - And if I say no?

We'll see. If I keep you, must be for the benefit of the team.

- We have to talk. On the very itself. - Can he wait? - I do my job.

- I'll tell you tomorrow. - You both make things difficult.

I may not have a future as a player. I'm average and too small.

- Maybe he would be a good coach. - Gave you a choice.

- He hasn't eliminated you yet. - Not yet. Then what?

- So at least I stay with the team. - Assistant coach. Good.

- Once every four years. - I could work as a college coach.

Wake up. You are a hockey player.

Smart remain until the end. If you have hope for the game, stay.

There is a business in baseball and football. There are opportunities.

This is hockey. You have a chance. Don't give up.

If you are not on the list tomorrow, We will mean about the work of the coach.

Until then, try. Do not give up until you are forgiven.

Okay, wait. Listen to me.

The schedule is good. Games in Europe, match against NHL.

You have 61 games in five months.

Only the strongest survive.

- Exactly that. Someone can be injured - if it plays on such a schedule. - No if it remains in shape.

Accident cannot be prevented, injuries.

- The professional is paid for the risk. - It is insured. - We work on it.

Herb.

- Where are you going? - For a drink. It's personal for you.

When it is not, we can talk. Herb, art.

- Will you drink? - You said you wouldn't interfere.

- You understand well with my partner. - No matter. Who invited you?

Common sense. You probably need me.

- You're the last thing I need. - I should know I don't like you.

As I see, You are trapped between scila and caribro.

It makes a man nerves, I would like to get on someone.

- It looks like I'm your sinful goat. - You're not a sinful goat.

- You are not important in hockey because you are a sinful goat. - Properly.

I did this because I only believe That we can sell NHL boys.

They are just as good as Canadians, which they always choose.

- Because of this, I'm not rich. - So you are a charity.

- I can contribute something to you. - That would be nice.

If you will exclude those 15, Which we represent, tell me.

Professionals are interested in them. They need my

advice. If I think you have an option, I will tell them to stay.

If I think the Russians will embarrass you, I tell them to go.

I don't want them to be the target of ridicule. Give me a place.

Maybe I can help you. If you play God, you will be alone.

- I do my job as a lawyer. - Maybe in your head.

What about here? What about your heart? Is it in law or sports?

I invite you to join us as an honorary member.

Risk for the team, It is as if I played.

I'm not doing this for myself. No athlete succeeded without sacrifice.

For the game, not for me.

- I have no doubt in your motives. - Only in common sense, right?

I will tell me straight. It's about fantasy.

I also doubt your common sense.

- Why? - Because you came here.

You are the fastest phone in the east, but you came here.

- How much did that cost you? - You are right.

- It's not about work. I wanted to make sure. - What about?

Or you are obsessed. The latter were cut off from the team.

- This could take you judgment. - And?

You are a fox.

A list of players

- Janisack is high on the list. - He's good.

Patrick, I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

Paradis, we warned you. You didn't turn out. I'm sorry.

You don't have to be. You are wasting time. The Russians will destroy you. You...

I'm really fine. I haven't seen the list yet.

- Rizz. - Wait. What? - You have succeeded. We are together.

- You have succeeded. - Phone!

- I was here first. - Donna? Who has a debris?

- Rizz, let's go. - see you outside. - See you. - right.

I still can't believe it. My parents were waiting for it.

- My father will also be happy. - Mike.

- I will no longer have to deal with you. - What else? - yes.

Good luck. Good luck to everyone.

I want, that I could be with you.

Boston, Massachusetts, August 1979

- Father. - Hi, Jimmy. - What are you doing here?

- Danny said you would take credit. - There is nothing like that.

- I can't allow this. - It's not your thing.

- You will take it so I can play. - You want that. We want us too.

- We can't afford. - Mom and I decide on this.

- You can't talk about it. - Can.

She was there when you dreamed and when we were planning.

It will be next to you when you play.

- Thank you, Keith. - G. Craig.

- I can't allow him. - What will you be?

- Used your phone. - There's one.

Yes. Please?

What did he say?

Too bad. Damn damage. Bye.

- I woke you up? Sorry. - No harm. I feel like a patient,

- which wakes up for a pill. The clock is two at night. - Pat.

I never gave up, But this time it's too cold.

There are too many problems. I don't know who will stay until February.

- I wish it was over. - What was? - The lawyer called.

Craigs need money. I would like to go to the professionals.

- You know what I mean? - Tell. - Stop taking care of next year.

Compiles a team. Craig is not the first, which has problems with money.

- Find solutions. - so easy? - Yes. Or give up. - I give up?

At least you gave me an alternative. I give up.

The third option is the bed, Now that I'm awake.

The Russians employ their players in the military. We...

Yes. This is not my area. I'll call Mr. Sears.

Works in advertising.

Hi. Mr. Sears, please.

Craig will live with a doctor and will not pay rent.

Without the help of companies, it will not work. As it says ad:

Athletes are sent to the Olympics by Americans, not America.

Yes. This is more for Anderson.

The Vice President of the Public Relations is.

Are you sure they are right? It is not easy to forgive.

- Sometimes... - team from I. 1960. They got gold.

I was eliminated by the last one. If these players were not great,

would immediately send them home. I wouldn't look for a sponsor for them.

The president of our department played at the university.

We'll go for lunch.

Calm down. I would like to count you.

- Patty, a journalist is looking for Craiga. - Did you see it? - No.

- Probably not. - Say that the coach does not allow interviews.

Calm down.

- Hi. - Bobby, you have succeeded.

You won't go to Europe without me.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands, September 1979

I'll sit with you, Although you are from Minneapolis.

He says she's not from there.

Sorry. OK?

You're not from Iron Range?

- Isn't that the same as Minneapolis? - Of course.

And South Boston is Beacon Hill. You do not know your own country.

You are poor just like Craig. Why don't you stop with your snobbism?

We will drive for 10 hours. Listen.

- Each is responsible for their equipment, okay? - Yes.

- Do we have to wear clothes and ties? - Yes. Install comfortably.

- Where is my seat? - You can sit here, - if you don't mind the kids.

My seat is beautifully warm.

- You never give up what? - It gives us all homesickness.

- Why is it just going to the married? - It will come to you too.

- I would like to sign everyone. - It is high time that they begin to respect us.

Says, not to beat the Russians.

Because he lives near Russia. This is geopolitical absorption.

- Geopolitical absorption? - Yes. - This is the poet in you?

No. Political scientist. An expression that means,

- that you are afraid of a neighbor. - Let them come to the lake placid.

- We'll see who yells anyone. - It would be nice to beat them.

- I am happy, Mrs. - Sorry.

I know you are interested in our secret tactics against the Russians - secret?

I saw you playing. You will not beat the Russians. Never.

We'll see.

29. September, NHL against the national team

It won't work tonight. We need at least one evening training before the match.

I'm talking to volunteers tomorrow. We then need to check the equipment.

Are we arranging next week? On Tuesday, you can have dinner with Butler.

- It's nice to be home. - I didn't notice. - I didn't know how long it would take.

- Do you believe that I wanted to be with you more time? - Of course.

I'm realistic. That's why we stayed together for so long.

Is it so bad?

No. Even if it would be, would be worth it.

I have one problem.

- I am starting to think we have the opportunity. - I wouldn't surprise me.

- Do you feel a special obligation? - Why? - Your father got gold I.

- '60, - your uncle played I. '56 and '64. - Right.

I have been dreaming of playing at the Olympics since childhood.

This is the last stop on a long way.

With hard work we will be better than the team, who won gold in 1960. Sorry Talk to anyone else.

I have strict rules.

- Journalists need my permission. - Isn't that clear enough? - I got what I wanted.

I would not defend your comment.

- What did he do here? - I can't be everywhere.

Look on the other side.

They will not strive for you in Russia. You have to understand one thing.

You are a team. There are no stars or special people.

Even the media will not create them. You will not give interviews.

- I repeat, without interviews. - You get a penalty for the next.

Has not heard of the freedom of the press?

I heard that, Harrington.

You may have forgotten, to play with NHL today.

They are not impressed with your results.

If they were in Russia, would send you to the Siberian league.

Craig, get together. If you play hockey, play hockey.

Forget about personal things. You can't sit in two chairs.

Eruzione,

If I would like to play in the lower leagues, Continue like that.

- What do he think is? - Coach. Our leader.

- Herb. - Why aren't you on the ice?

- Do you think you don't need this? - You decide how much exercise I need.

- How do you tell me this is something else. - If you do not withstand pressure, leave.

You and you are attacking Craig all the time.

- We are your sinful goat. - So?

They dream of it, that they will be a professional.

They will play with them today. They can show what they know.

If you will not play as a team, You will all fall out miserable.

They will hit, You are not ready.

Listen.

Someone has to withstand bumps. I kept you because of the team.

You have wide shoulders. We'll agree something.

If I use your name, It's about a blow.

If I use the last name, You are a sinful goat.

That's how I would like to reach the whole team.

- You can tell Craig. - Herb.

Who should tell him, Mike or Rizzy? To whom? Craig or Jimmy?

We advertise from the sports hall in Bloomington, Minnesota.

North Stars from the NHL play with the national team.

- How are you? - I don't know. I'm not ready.

I. It's about now or never.

Ready for the initial bull between Johnson and Bernard.

Hold on. There will be a long evening today. We play rough today.

This will be a real game for the Olympic team. Olympians start.

Gardner is the first at Paku, He was taken by Eruzione.

Jones took him back. Now Gardner has it,

which is approaching the center. Shaffer on the left. The blow bounced to the left.

Pak is at Shaffer. He takes over Boyle for Minnesoto.

Still Boyle, Eruzione was knocked. Pak is in the corner of the right wing.

Now Neil Brotten has it. Brotten sent him down the skating rink.

Gardner pushed Eruzione into the fence. Pak has Minnesota.

Jones goes past the center, past Eric Strogela. He takes it by Boyle.

Boyle is alone in the middle. Boyle target. He hit.

- Pavelich, Schneider, Harrington. - Severe reception for Olympians.

After returning from Europe, they have to get used to a rough game.

NHL is trying to intimidate the Olympians. Pak took Steve Werner.

They knocked him to the ground. Pak is at Eric Strobel.

They also knocked him. Now it's a pak at Eruzione.

They pushed him from behind, But he fired.

Gardner comes down the left. North Stars lead to the Olympians.

Long passes down, Pak is again at Minnesota.

They have to get used to such a game. They will play more matches - against different American leagues.

Dave Christian on the right wing.

Christian in the corner. They stopped him. He headed toward the blue line.

- To the other side. - He gave a pak. - Neil Brotten is on the ground.

Sinclair stopped McClanahan.

A rough game requires a national team tax.

They are ready for everything. Pak is in the middle.

Boyle hunts him. Look at that. Boyle hit him from behind.

- What do they do? - It is called to satisfy the crowd.

Sometimes kicks are good for athletes. Helps them,

to form a team. I can't say you played well.

It could be worse. Worse than two to four.

You have to do your best. Always.

If you embarrass me more than once, I will blame myself.

Before we play with the Russians, I have to exclude you something else.

The Russians are hungry. Very hungry.

I am talking to you over and over: If you want to be the best,

you have to rely on each other. Especially Craig and Eruzione.

If you want to be the best, Play as a team,

- Not everyone for themselves. - Hates you. - Probably true.

- Quiet, Mike. - Yeah, sir. Did he tell me Mike?

Yeah, Mike. You heard right.

Today you had the opportunity to play with the professionals.

Ask yourself if you were ready for them. Think,

What did the Russians look like. If you do not respect them,

You cannot respect yourself. Training tomorrow at 10am.

- You look pleased. - I am. They became a team today.

- So you will win? - Not necessary. If we lose, we will be together.

- Who will pay for my voice? - Anyone else? - Whom... - thank you.

Eruzione

- for him? - Supposedly Brooks hates him.

- More like O'Callahana? - What do you say, Buzz?

- Do you want my voice? - Vote as you want. I'll be for rizzy.

- Let me see. - You don't show your leaf either. - give.

- Eruzione? - Let me see yours.

- Eruzione. - Rizz, who are you voting for?

Kevin, I am. OK. How are you?

Good. Is the father there?

No, it's okay. When he returns,

tell him, That I am a captain. Yes.

Brooks can still eliminate me. He does another favor to me.

Call your mother and tell her and others.

Tell Donni. It wasn't home. Very funny.

Right. It was nice to hear you.

Adironack Red Wings Against the national team

There are no goals in the match between Adirondack and the national team.

Les auge with number two returns to the goal line.

The national team in this game is not sharp enough.

This is John Kelly, no. Eight, for Red Wings.

Kelly attacks the center. Auge intercepted him.

- See the other side. - Brooks is not satisfied with the game.

Kelly again. Attacks on the right. This is Bill Good, no. 10.

Trying to go past Auge. Goes straight to the goalkeeper.

He hit. Adirondack leads one to zero.

What's going on? Play. Take the game. Let's go.

No. 12, Muckie Day. AUGE is returning.

- Muckie fell. Punishment for the national team. - No. Two, out.

Auge should go down for two minutes.

He headed towards the penalty bench.

Play your game, skate. Forget about caution.

Red Wings are in the attack.

You always play worse.

You play as if you were in the middle of next month.

Craig, don't think, that the city is guaranteed.

Rizzy, play harder. Mike, control the game on your line.

If you can't, tell me, before I finally decide.

Right. Patrick will tell you the trip details.

Lester...

When you change, come to me.

Don't worry, it will be best. I would almost tell him himself.

Thank you for waiting.

- I tidied up your things. - Thank you.

- I'm sorry. - It would happen sooner or later.

I seriously thought. You have to go where the best is.

- Better to find out now. - Stop. You have a nice future.

- You are a player. - Yes, but not in the Olympics.

Win. Bye.

I am only interested in one place. Lake Placid.

I haven't heard of him before. Don't worry. If it has less than 10,000 inhabitants - we will visit it.

- You don't believe it exists. - This is his pretext for the team.

You know what I mean?

That we died and went to hockey hell.

Will you shut up? Some would like to sleep.

When I was a kid, I didn't sleep. Not much.

I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning. I played hockey. Mom made breakfast in the kitchen.

She was healthy at the time. I played with older boys on the pond.

Now my brother plays there. The elderly had cars.

I crawled up the stairs. I was standing near the door, That I could hear the horn.

I was the youngest player.

- But you stood in a goal. - Yes. That was in high school.

They gave me the gateway equipment. My mom seemed, That this is the safest position.

Playing with the elderly.

When I was a freshman, I played against the national team from I. 1976.

They were like mountains. Tell you how you gave a winning goal in the extra time.

We've heard 464 times.

- Headache no. Two. - What is no.

- One? - Where is the brooks? O'Callahan is looking for him. Calm down.

He will hear you. We prefer to sleep. Jimmy.

- Everything is behind you. - You have to think about the future.

The future?

I thought of my mother.

We are probably connected.

- What happened? - Look at him. - I fell in the tub. - Really?

- Will you be fine? - I don't know. - Can you play? - I don't know.

- What does a doctor say? - I have to paint. - Jack is damaged.

- Bring something for your foot. The cushion will be fine. - Yeah, it's okay.

- Give me another. - Another pillow. Will you be a drink?

- Yeah, please. - A doll? - a doll.

- Stop teasing. - Shit.

He injured his femur.

What happened?

- Cox, what is it? - Cranberry juice and beer.

- Wonderful color, right? - Wonderful.

Yes. Hi, kaminsky. Yes, I am at the end 20.

The choice was not too difficult. You are right.

The Russians are the last match in front of Lake Placid.

Best to finally choose.

Yes. Bye.

Rizzy, come here. Come quickly. Give me a hand.

Give me a hand. Lay it here.

Works. I can walk.

- What a liar. - I can walk.

I'm healed.

Please? Can you be quiet?

Would you please shut up? Herb is.

Yes, herb. SO. Just a little.

Cox, it's for you.

Hi.

I know what it is about. I don't have to go to the office.

I understand. Yes.

Thanks for everything. Yes.

Think of the option. You are 20 of 220 million Americans.

Of course most of them think, that there is something for vice.

But the whole world. Including countries, where hockey is a national sport.

We worked for that and now we're here.

USA and Soviet Union.

Tension is increasing. The Olympic Center is packed full.

The ticket sale is $ 67.20.

They are sold in front of the hall for three times the value.

We will be Michaels and Ken Grimes with you. Maybe the evening will be great.

There are certainly such in the hall, too, who do not know what a blue line is.

This is not important as a special sporting event awaits us.

The event does not need special adjectives.

In political terms, you certainly look at the match from different views.

But that's hockey. USA and Soviet Union on ice in Lake Placid.

10 minutes of the first third. Both sides without a hit.

Look at Victor Tetarov, Head coach of the Russian team.

- I will bring you one. You pay for hot dogs. - Right.

Art. Robert. That's too much for them. Cannot win in the last second.

- Why not? - because no. - You know what I heard?

Whoever gives more goals, He wins at the end of the game.

- Maybe it's true. - Funny.

If the Russians give another hit, They may not catch up with them.

- Would you sit with George? - No. I will pay the frankfurters.

The second third begins. Change on the Russian side.

Muskin will replace Trediacka, who got two hits.

Five minutes passed. The fans are quiet.

Most of the campaign takes place on the American third.

The last moments of a third. The Soviet Union is still leading.

Only Maltsev hit in this third. Seconds run.

Seven seconds. The Russians are returning on the other hand.

Americans are trying, But the other third is over.

The second third was dominated by the Russians. Americans

are fortunate to have only one hit. They still have options.

Before the third third of the third, the result is three to two.

It will be over soon.

Another third. Another game. Then it will be over.

- As my career. - Stop.

Even if I got Stanley Cup.

All last year...

Let's look again. Great shot of Mika Eruzione.

A similar hit was erusione against the Russians two weeks ago.

Pervukin reaches after Pak, that goes below it.

Toward the end of the last third. The Russians are still pressing.

It's hard to play against them. They do not leave satisfaction.

Although the team leads for two goals, it

cannot feel good. They can hit so fast - to
