Hi again ... couldn't help noticing there's been plenty of talk about the 30th anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice" at Lake Placid (has it really been that long ago?!?), but I also noticed that when Team USA beat Canada on Sunday night, they were wearing "throwback" uniforms from the "original" Miracle in 1960, when the US stunned Canada (and the Soviets) by winning gold in Squaw Valley.
What a coincidence, then, that Sunday marked the first time the US defeated Canada in Olympic hockey since ... 1960. No, the US did not face Canada in 1980.
BTW, what a great job putting this team together. While there are no superstars on this team (like the NHL All-Star team Canada has), the Langenbrunners, Drurys, Rafalskis, Millers and all the Ryans are playing a more effective, grinding game ... much like their predecessors 30 years ago. Maybe these guys really are throwbacks after all. Good luck against the Swiss tonight.

Always trying to stay abreast of best practices in PR, especially as they pertain to the ever-changing social media landscape. Attended an interesting New England Pub Club event last night in Newton regarding Social Media Case Studies. A special shout-out to Meagan Ellis of Kel and Partners, who discussed her firm's twitter-driven campaign that put a small client on the map. Great job.
