Hey Kevin,

I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I *do* like that movie. The Hanson brothers are a riot. And that quote about the penalty box is one of the best lines in the movie. =)

>Now you're proving that you really are a movie expert. It's not everybody that will get all the nuances of movies like that. Like the interpretation of the Hanson brothers. Perhaps something you did'nt know but there are some actors from Montreal in that movie.

>Our families live in Central PA, just a few hours from the War Memorial rink where the Johnstown Chiefs of the ECHL play...the site location where Slapshot was filmed. We go to at least one game a year. It is an absolute culture there - the games are "almost" as physical as the action in the movie. During play stoppages, they play quotes from the movie over the PA system. My favorite quote (that can be repeated) is the goalie's explanation of a 2-minute minor. "You go to the penalty box for two minutes, and you feel shame, and then you free."

>Don't know if I'm a movie expert (Ken Levy has the mark on that), but I own over 500 DVDs. (Can also quote Dostoevsky, so I'm not a total media brat). I love movies, but for most part I don't like TV shows. To quote Jason Lee from "Mallrats"..."I don’t understand why they can’t remake a good show like BJ and the Bear? Now there’s a concept I can’t get enough of, a man and his monkey."
