add this to the list of movies that could never be made today re-watched it over the weekend. some really funny scenes -- most involving the Hanson brothers. the scene where they have the brawl BEFORE the national anthem is LOL. a fun period piece also -- the fashion, cars, social attitudes etc. ---------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | ||

A buddy and I had a pair of season tickets for the WHA Minnesota Fighting Saints. At times, all three Carlson brothers were on the team. I loved the Saints! ETA: When “Slap Shot” was filmed Jack Carlson was with the Saints so didn’t appear in the movie. “The Carlson brothers a.k.a. the Hanson Brothers are the ice hockey playing siblings from the 1977 movie "Slap Shot" and "Slap Shot 2". The characters are based on three brothers who were actual hockey players; two of which starred in the film. The real-life inspirations for the Hanson Brothers are Jeff Carlson (born July 20, 1953), Jack Carlson (born August 23, 1954), and Steve Carlson (born August 26, 1955). The brothers were all born in Virginia, Minnesota and first played together on the Marquette Iron Rangers hockey team in Marquette, Michigan…” https://history.vintagemnhocke...97-carlson-brothers-This message has been edited.

Some (all?) of the hockey scenes were filmed in what was then called the War Memorial in Syracuse NY. I used to live half an hour south of the city, I remember seeing that on the news. True confession: I've never seen the movie. | |||

That's an all time classic that I have watched several times. I'm usually a one and done with movies no matter how much I enjoyed them but this one falls into a different category. | |||

Love the "Hansen Brothers" in that movie. Thanks for the background, did not know that. Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

As a kid, my dad brought me the St. Paul Civic center to watch the Fighting Saints. Very fond memories. The stories told by the players themselves is a great history lesson of the team. Interesting interview with Dave Hanson on filming of the movie. After filming of the movie, they were offered a 7 year movie contract. They said “naw, we want to be hockey players”. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Pres.

"You're BLOWIN' IT! BOYS! Every scout in the NHL is out there tonight, with contracts in their pockets...and they're lookin' for talent! For winners! Oooooooooh.....all my years of publicity. The fashion shows and radio-thons for NOTHIN'! They come here tonight...to scout THE CHIEFS! The toughest team in the Federal League! Not this....buncha......PUSSIES!" "Scouts??" My brother and I STILL quote lines from that movie...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
