Ahhh . . . . yup . . . 1984 and I STILL have it on tape . . . it was
both live and replayed many times during the week . . . luckily for me
since I wasn't able to tape it during the live broadcast . . . instead I
went to Lake Placid and watched them win!
 
Seems to me the finals were broadcast 2-3 years on ESPN before that . . .
placing the first live broadcast around 1981-1982 . . .
 
Oh well . . . memories . . .
