Best and worst hockey movies

I agree with Miracle and Slap Shot. Here are my choices for a few other categories:

 

Best Hockey Documentary (multipart): Ken Dryden's Home Game

 

Best Hockey Documentary (single episode): Do You Believe In Miracles? - The Story of the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team

 

Worst Hockey Movie Ever Made: Slap Shot 2 (Disclaimer: I have never seen this movie, but trust the reviews I have read on it and believe there must have been a reason it was released directly to home video.)

 

Best Hockey Talk Show: Don Cherry's Grapevine

 

Best Hockey Video Series (noninstructional): Rock'em Sock'em Hockey

 

Worst Acting by a Hockey Player (TV or motion picture): Wayne Gretzky on The Young & the Restless back in early-'80's. IIRC, he was a gangster from the "Edmonton syndicate". No, I don't normally watch soap operas, but when you are in high school and you hear a trainwreck is approaching, you watch it. (Honorable Mention goes to either someone from Slap Shot 2 (again I haven't seen it, but I feel pretty confident there must be something truly awful there), or Bill Ranford for doing his Denis LeMieux imitation during Miracle.)

Dave. You're the man to ask.

 

Did you see the CBC Movie on the 'Orginal Six'? It focused on Gordie Howe and really showed how F'D up things were. It was about 5+ years ago. I can't remember the name. :unsure:

If it's the one I think you are referring to, it was "Net Worth" produced for / by (?) CBC and focused on Ted Lindsay's organizing the player's union.

 

I never got to see it. Heard it was decent, but not spectacular.

Thanks. That sounds right.

 

If not? Maybe some of the Northern posters can chime in?

And how about that hockey game scene in Chasing Amy? Brilliant.

That and the hockey video game scene from the same movie:

 

What difference does it make if I refer to her as a ----? Or if I call the Whalers a bunch of ------s in the comfort of my own office, far from the sensitive ears of the rest of the world?

:D
