Slap Shot: The Hanson sequel

The good Mr. Judd Zulgad passes along this information: Sunday’s SportsCenter will feature a little Slap Shot flavor. From a press release (our emphasis in bold, as always):

SportsCenter’s featured piece Sunday, March 2, will profile Christian Hanson, a junior center on Notre Dame’s ice hockey team, and his father, Dave Hanson, who played one of the brutal-yet-beloved “Hanson Brothers” in the 1977 classic Slap Shot.

Dave describes his life-changing role as Slap Shot’s Jack Hanson, who made his way to the highest levels of professional hockey as an enforcer, while Christian, who has devoted a large part of his life to the sport, never saw his father’s movie until he was a teenager. Reporter Chris Connelly interviewed Dave, now a manager of the Robert Morris University Island Sports Complex in Pittsburgh, at the Cambria County War Memorial Auditorium in Johnstown, Pa., where Slap Shot was filmed.

Sorry, but there is no excuse to not see Slap Shot if you’re a hockey player. And there is ABSOLUTELY no excuse if your dad was in the film.

I think Rand should get Slap Shot quotes tattooed on his torso. That way he could love himself even more!

Some say it was immoral and say it was wrong
Some say the violence went on far too long
But if you don’t like Slap Shot you are a wussy
All I know is “Suzanne sucks p****”
And “I’m trying to listen to the f****** song!”
