it would be the same legend in Russia if the situation was reversed. Ask a Russian if they remember the 1972 Summit Series between the Canadians and the Soviet Union - it was the first time the Soviets ever played the best in the world and everybody thought the scores would be 10-0 Canada in each game. It turned out to be a nightmare for Canada, a humiliating embarassment as the Soviets playing with equipment that was a joke took it to the Canadians and made them look silly. The Canadians rebounded and won the series in the closing seconds of the 8th and final game.

Russians remember that series the same way Americans remember Lake Placid.

i will concede that Americans have a gift for hyperbole because of the huge media and entertainment machine that dominates the culture and things get blown up to mythical proportions.
