Z-P Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Caught the end of the HBO Sports Special on the US Olympic Hockey Teams Dream Season when they upset the Ruskies. Any of you guys see it? The thing that really rang me bell was how Herb Brooks handled the entire issue of momentary success vs the pursuit of real treasure. What the Hull am I rambling about here? Well, here's the dealio and the hook up to the Zips...............at the end of the victory over Russia, do you know what Brooks did? Instead of hitting the ice with the rest of the team to celebrate, he turned around and bolted down into the locker room by himself to get ready to apply more psych to his team. When they got in to the room, he let them celebrate a while, then pulled them all together and said the following (I'm paraphrasing here and this is from memory) "That was great, congratulations, you earned it, but you have one game left against the Fins. If you loose that game you will go from being the greatest surprise team in history to the biggest loosers in history." Get it? The job wasn't done..............they still had to beat the Fins. That's the analogy to the situation our guys are in. Hey guys, congrats on the Frey-day Night Massacre, but you'll look like bufoons if you don't go out and whip up on the Bobkittens! Just trying to keep the board going I guess............. Where dat dudie at? Quote
