I wish Coffey could of elaborated on more personal accounts about how Americans and the fans felt about the game before and after, and some wild stories of what happened when the people found out the United States won. I also would of liked to know what went on in Olympic Village during this game and how people reacted after, was it crazy? What did other teams think of the upset? Also, knowing the story pretty well I wish that Coffey would of given a brief overview of the games prior to the Soviet game. He talked about the exhibition where USA lost 3-10, but other than that it would be tough for an unknowing reader to understand the drama even before the Soviet game.
Overall, I think Wayne Coffey did an excellent job reviewing the game, and elaborating on everything that surrounded it. He wanted people to know what happened in the game, the players and their families outside the game, the coaches and their strategies, and the politics that engulfed the whole thing. I think Coffey accomplished his mission of telling the story of the Boys of Winter and the greatest upset in athletics
