It is a sad day in hockey history, even though it affects mainly the American hockey fans...( ) the 1980 miricle on ice is truly amazing, one of the biggest upsets in hockey history, and a defining moment in sports history.
Though only really recongized in the olympics, herb is a terrific coach, and will be probably be in the hockey hall of fame for his contributions to the sport.
RIP Herb.
