i have to shake my head watch the outdoor nhl hockey game on new year day this year ( 2008 ) at buffalo . in between period and nbc announcer bob costa reminisce about his favorite sport movie . it be this one represent slap shot . although i do enjoy this movie 30 year ago and i can not say i echo bob sentiment today and but i laugh along with him when it come out in 1977. it seem that film in the 70 be either outrageously good or ridiculously sleazy regard language and sex and or irreverence . most tended toward the latter . many movie like this one have ton of overdone profanity and a for sport movie and none be more profane than this one which and in essence and be a real takeoff on goon style of hockey . kudos for that and and the nhl finally wake up 30 year later and clean up it sport . after not see this in over 20 year and i be shock it look and sound so seedy with almost every sentence seemingly have a cuss word . it sound like slob like animal house mentality on ice skate . however and i do admit there be a lot of funny scene and i will always remember the hanson brother and along with oggy ogglethorp . if hear the lord name in vain constantly doesn not offend you and you will get a lot of laugh out of these character and on and off the ice .
