But not this game,not tonight.....

The Miracle starring Kurt Russell is a sports drama.One of the best.
It showcases the 1980 Winter Olympics where the rookie US ice hockey team upsets the Soviets who were a far superior and supposedly unconquerable team.

The Motivational speech just before their rendezvous with Soviets in Olympics is one of the best motivational monologues I have heard. It goes like


"Great moments are born from great opportunity.

And that's what you have here Tonight, boys.
That's what you've earned here tonight.

One game.

If we played them ten times,they might win nine.
But not this game.
Not tonight.

Tonight we skate with them.
Tonight we stay with them.
And we shut them down
because we can.

Tonight we are the greatest hockey team in the world.

You were born to be hockey players.
Every one of you.
And you were meant to be here tonight.
This is your time.
Their time is done.
It's over.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have.
Screw them.

This is your time.
Now, go out there and take it.

Hold up here a second, guys.
We're just gonna wait for the okay.
Yeah.
We're all set.
All right.

Go ahead and send them in.
It's time.
-Let's go."

PS:Its was reported that the Indian team was shown this movie ,just before the SA tour of 2006 for motivating the Indian team.India went on the lose the ODI series 4-0.
"Some things look good only on a TV."
