Maybe all of you already know about this. The Josh Sacco version of the Herb Brooks speech from before the 1980 U.S. hockey game vs. the Soviet Union? It’s all you’re talking about over there?

It must be a big deal if it’s penetrated into the no-Winter Olympics Zone that is the Arabian Peninsula.

First, the link to the video. I’m not even going to save it for after the break. Play it. It will slay you.

Then come back and we will talk among ourselves.

Here is a detailed explanation of how the little guy came to be famous. The first time. Back in October, not long after the kid’s father put the video up.

Turns out, the kid, who was 4 at the time, loves the movie “Miracle,” which is about the U.S. hockey team winning the gold medal at the 1980 Olympics. (A match I never saw, actually, because I was sure the Yanks would lose and I was in my car … and then I got home and realized I’d missed one of the greatest upsets in sports history.)

Anyway, Josh Sacco has watched “Miracle” so many times (like,  150 times, when he made the video) that he can recite large parts of it. It’s a kid thing. Kind of a kid boy thing, too. I remember my son watching “Ghostbusters” over and over and over again, and he could recite tracts of that, too.

So, Josh Sacco allegedly gave this Herb Brooks speech to the current U.S. hockey team before a recent dinner that the boys had … and before they played the mighty Canadians in pool play at the Vancouver Olympics … and won, 5-3 despite being outshot and dominated for large stretches of the game.

As someone today noted, The Speech is 3-0 now — once in 1980, once last year at an NHL game and now at the 2010 Olympics. Two of those speeches were delivered by Josh Sacco.

No one has video of the original speech, but here is Kurt Russell’s version of the Herb Brooks speech, from “Miracle.”

I think I like the kid’s better.

And here is the wiki link to Herb Brooks,  if you need a refresher on what that guy was about. Certainly intense. And some of us who don’t follow hockey as closely as others … had already forgotten he coached the U.S. team to the silver medal at the 2002 Olympics. Canada won the gold, 5-2, but it was a 3-2 match going into the final period.

Brooks died in a car crash in 2003. He was an advisor on the movie “Miracle,” which came out in 2004 but was nearly finished before he died, and a dedication at the end of the movie reads, “He never saw it. He lived it.”

Anyway, the kid, Josh Sacco … maybe we can teach him the Gettysburg Address, next.
