Good question.
My friend who is a huge conspiracy fan thought he read it a long time ago. Thing is, I can't find anything citing it online so we need to sleuth our asses off. For example, does anyone have "Miracle on Ice"? If so, can anyone please check whether all the goals are, indeed stick-side? Chances are, the movie would be accurate.
Even better, does somebody have the tape of the game itself? That would be fun to watch in its own right.
I don't know why I thought of this, but as a side note, I once read an anecdote about Mark Spitz that comes directly from him:
He was practicing for an international swim competition and some guy asked him why he had such a big moustache. So, jokingly, he told the guy that it helps him swim faster. The guy seemed confused, so Spitz gave him some phoney physics lesson about how water is pushed backward by the moustache. Sure enough, he whips his competition. So the next year, everyone from one of the competing teams had big Mark Spitz moustaches. That guy was a coach!
