Stella: (interrupting a group of guys playing street hockey) I hate to break up the next Miracle On Ice, but we're looking for Steve Sampras. The expression Miracle On Ice refers to the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, where the American men's hockey team won gold by defeating the highly-favored Soviets. The day before the game between the Americans and the Soviets, sports columnist Dave Anderson said that the Soviets would win gold for the sixth time in a row unless the Americans performed a miracle. Ironically, CSI: NY co-star Eddie Cahill starred in the 2004 movie Miracle which chronicles this story.
