After watching the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, I had to go through my archive and post some of my photographs from the 2002 games in Salt Lake City. These photos are from the USA vs Russia Game, which happened to be played on the 22nd anniversary of the 1980 Miracle on Ice. I have photographed countless hockey games, and in my opinion this game was the second greatest game ever, the first being the original game between the two countries in 1980.

Only seconds remain on the clock as the Russia bench watches their teammates make a desperate attempt to tie the game.

Goalie, Mike Ricther made the save!
USA wins.
