Last week a really nice co-worker gave me this as a thank-you gift for something I did. I just about cried when he explained to me what it was and I didn’t want him to part with it. However, he was cool with it because he had another one. He wanted to give it to me due to its significance.
So what or who is this? It is a puck autographed by Mike “Rizzo” Eurizone! Not only was he captain of the 1980 US team, he scored the winning goal again the Soviet Union to cinch it. I know this due to my annual viewing of Miracle every Fall to get ready for every new NHL/AHL season.
