Um... the Miracle on Ice wasn't a medal match either...

You have to understand. The talking heads you see as "knowledgeable commentators" are professional readers. They just read what the writers and producers provide for them. The writers and producers are pissed off wannabee commentators but aren't photogenic enough to get in front of the camera or they have nervous tics or something. Most of them know very littler about real sports but can tell you everything you want to know about ice dancing. And, since they probably weren't living when the "Miracle on Ice" was actually played, they don't know anything more about it then the can read on Wiki.
But let me tell you how I really feel about "broadcasters"
By the way, I wouldn't call the USA defeat of Canada a miracle but I would rate it right behind the Saints beating the Colts.
