Well it’s happened. 2016 and not a single Canadian team in the NHL playoffs. It’s a sad state of affairs for Canadian television viewership numbers. Perhaps they should replay Slap Shot on a nightly basis. At least we know the Charlestown Chiefs are going to give it there all under player coach Reggie Dunlop.
Here’s a blast from the past just after I got started with Mike’s Take On the Movies. Listen in and check out Slap Shot, a great alternative to NHL hockey and sport films in general starring a true movie icon.
Mike's Take On the Movies 
Well, you can always film a quickie remake up there during what would be all that TV playoff time. You’d be playing the Newman role, of course.
Absolutely. I’m the perfect age to be a player coach and just like Paul, I’ve got some grey sneaking in.
Sorry, but my kids are glued to the Blues vs Blackhawks game right now…
It’s about time the Blues won a cup so I’ll pull for the underdog.
I’ll be sure to tell my kids!
Nice video, Mike! I met the Hansons here in Arizona after a Coyotes game several years ago…maybe someday I’ll post the triple-autograph photo I received that night!
I saw them years ago in my hometown in a kind of Globe trotters game done hockey style.
