The story of the 1980 Winter Olympic hockey competition has been told, but there's another side to the "Miracle On Ice". The Soviet national team, often seen as the "bad guys", were actually good men and skilled players, shaped by the vision and passion of Anatoli Tarasov. Despite being considered unbeatable, they faced a crushing defeat at the hands of the American collegians and were left to live with the consequences of their loss.
