  • Summary

  • Hey puckheads!

    It's crossover time! The crew from @icbymmwt are here with me to watch thee quintessential hockey movie of all time, Slap Shot!
    Starring Paul Newman, this movie sets the template for future sports movies to come. Reggie Dunlop, played by Newman, is a Player/Coach for the struggling Charlestown Chiefs. The Chiefs are about to go kapot because the local coalmine is closing which means no more butts in the seats. And The Chiefs must win the season in order to be sold to a new owner. Will they succeed? A group of rag tag players, notebly the Hanson Brothers line, bring the grit to help the Chiefs go on a winning streak. Do they go a bit overboard with the violence? Of course! It's a zany comedy from the 70's that hasn't aged well but surprisingly passes the Bechdel Test. Hell, just putting it out there though, Paul Newman can buy me a drink any night of the week.

    What say you Puckheads? Where does Slap Shot rank on your all time favorite hockey movies?

    Thanks Amy and Kiah! As usual, I had a blast ❤️ 🏒✌️
