Outstanding. I always like to see how Historic events are thought of and presented from a different POV then we usually see.

I thought it was very good. It was nice to see the point of view from the Soviets.

In my opinion it might have been the best 30 for 30 I have ever seen and I have watched them all. I was totally engrossed in the story. Also as a Flyers fan going back to their Stanley Cup years I never realized what a cheap shot artist Bobby Clarke was. I guess my memories of the Broad Street Bullies has faded over the years. I was just really impressed how the Soviets invented their own brand of hockey. I also had no idea that their athletes had to stay in a prison for the Lake Placid games. Can you imagine the current Olympic athletes being housed in a prison. There was just so many great parts of the documentary that are too numerous to mention.
