Hey Hanrahan!!!

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2005)

Growing up as a kid who played all kind of sports, there are usually two sets of movies that you can watch to get some fun out of them. For instance kids will watch The Sandlot while adults watch Major League and kids will watch Little Giants while adults watch The Longest Yard. This movie is the adults hockey movie to combat The Mighty Ducks.
The story is a struggling independent hockey league franchise is about to go down the drain until the player/coach (played by Paul Newman) gets the idea to spice the game up with trash talking, constant fighting and vicious violence.
Think about that, back when I was a kid most of the kids who liked hockey were watching Mighty Ducks to learn how to skate and stuff like that I was watching Slapshot, learning how to curse and beat people up. The Bash Brothers or The Hanson Brothers....hey cake-eater or hey hanrahan, it was a great time.
Back to Slapshot, it was so hilarious watching Paul Newman shout invectives at a goalie about his lesbian wife. You have to watch this movie to love the feel and atmosphere, its a great one.
9 out of 10 (would have been 10 but the soundtrack puts me to sleep)
