Miracle (2004)

Share this quote on facebook You think you can win on talent alone? Gentlemen, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TALENT TO WIN ON TALENT ALONE!

Share this quote on facebook You better think about something else, each and every one of you. When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates...and the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back. Get that through your head. AGAIN!

Share this quote on facebook [Addressing the team before the US-USSR game] Great moments...are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them...and we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time! Now go out there and take it!

Herb Brooks: Well, how 'bout it boys? Look like hockey to you? Looks more like a couple monkeys trying to hump a football to me, I don't know. What do you think Craig?
Craig Patrick: Yeah.
Brooks: You wanna settle old scores, you're on the wrong team. We move forward starting right now. We start becoming a team RIGHT NOW! Skating. Passing. Flow. Creativity. That is what this team is all about, gentlemen, not old rivalries. So, why don't we start with some introductions. You know, get to know each other a little bit. Where you from. Who you are. [looks at McClanahan] Go ahead.
Rob McClanahan: [rolls his eyes] Rob McClanahan. St. Paul, Minnesota.
Brooks: Who do you play for?
McClanahan: I play for you, here at the U.
Brooks: [looks at OC] Jack?
Jack O'Callahan: Jack O'Callahan. Charlestown, Massachusetts. Boston University.
Brooks: [looks at Ralph Cox] Over here.
Ralph Cox: I'm Ralph Cox. I'm from wherever's not gonna get me hit!
Brooks: Very good. Everybody on the line, let's go!

Herb Brooks: Boom he can hit him. Boom. Boom. Boom. We're opening up options. We've got four options off of one play. Allright. Any questions? [silence] Good, let's go.
Buzz Schneider: What the hell is he talking about?
Rob McClanahan: No clue!

Herb Brooks: This is unbelievable. You guys are playing like this is some throw away game up in Rochester. Who we playing Rammer?
Mike Ramsey: Sweden.
Brooks: Yeah. You're damn [topples a refreshments table] right Sweden! In the Olympics! [Turns to McClanahan] What the hell is wrong with you? Put your gear on! I said put your gear on! Who do you play for?
McClanahan: Doc told me I can't play.
Brooks: Yeah, yeah, yeah I know. You got a bad bruise. You know what, put your street clothes on because I got no time for quitters!
Mike Eruzione: Come on Herb! Nobody is quitting here!
Brooks: You worry about your own game. Plenty there to keep you busy. [to McClanahan] A bruise on the leg is a hell of a long way from the heart, [mutters as he walks away] candy ass.
McClanahan: What'd you call me?
Brooks: You heard me!
McClanahan: You want me to play huh? Is that what you want? [rushes Brooks]
Brooks: I want you to be a hockey player!!
McClanahan: I AM A HOCKEY PLAYER! YOU WANT ME TO PLAY ON ONE LEG? HUH? I'LL PLAY ON ONE LEG!
Brooks: [walking out of the locker room with McClanahan still screaming] That'll get him going.
Craig Patrick: Oh yeah. I'll clean up!
McClanahan: [as other players calm him down] GET OFF ME! THERE, WOULD THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY, HUH HERB?!?! I AM A HOCKEY PLAYER!!!!

Share this quote on facebook [The night before the US-USSR game, Herb and Patti Brooks sit at a park]
Herb Brooks: I got a telegram from a lady in Texas today, and you know what it said?
Patti Brooks: What?
Herb: "Beat those Commie bastards." We're playing a hockey game against the greatest team in the world, and they're the best that's ever played this game. Why can't we just leave it at that?
Patti: Because this is more than a hockey game to a lot of people.
Herb: Yeah and I keep running through them all. Johnson on Mikhailov. Broten on Petrov. Pav against whoever-Ov. We just ... We don't match up, Patti.
Patti: You might want to skip that when you talk to the boys tomorrow. Herb, there's no disgrace in losing to this team.
Herb: Yeah, I know.
Patti: The important thing is, you got this far.
Herb: The important thing? The important thing is that those twenty boys know in twenty years, they didn't leave anything on the table. They played their hearts out. That's the important thing. [leans over and kisses Patti on the cheek, while she rests her head on his shoulder]
