Subject: Hockey "Dream Team" coach Herb Brooks killed...
You might not recognize the name, but you definitely remember the team he coached. He coached the USA Hockey Team to a victory over the mighty Soviets in the 1980 Olympics.
Herb Brooks, was killed in a car accident on Monday.
Enormous loss for the sports world.

Yes thats true.
I'll admit I'm not a huge hockey fan, but even I can't watch that US/Soviet game without getting chills.

Oh man, they just showed a documentary about the Miracle on Ice on HBO a few hours ago. Herb must have died about ten or fifteen minutes before it aired.
There was a scene in the documentary where they showed how Herb managed to unite the disparate college kids of the hockey team against a common enemy, namely, himself. The players kept a notebook of what they called "Brooksisms." For example: 'This team does not have enough talent to win on talent alone.'

I just read that on Sportsline.com, and I am quite saddened. He didn't deserve to die that way. I've had a former co-worker who was killed in a car accident the week before last, and it's a tragedy indeed. Herb will be missed. :'(
