I love that, across the country, people had the same reaction: the temporary madness of utter joy, then random hugging, then chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” as loudly as possible.

I know it’s not in any way comparable, but for those of us born post-1980, this is the closest we’ve ever come to our own Miracle on Ice.

I know that this is about one-tenth as good as that, but still. What a day. What a game. What a goal.
