Slap shot. Nothing personal word of the day is slap shot because we're talking hockey.

We're leading this show off with hockey today. It is May 6th. It is a Thursday. Slap shot is from 1977.

0:35.8

If you haven't seen it, you have to go see it with the Hanson Brothers, Paul Newman. It's a movie that I was nine years old and somehow I got into a theater to see it was rated R.

0:45.0

It was actually the first time I ever saw in a movie. Nudity was slap shot.

0:51.2

And what's famous about that movie is A, it's hysterical, but B, it's about a hockey team. And one of the best scenes of the hockey team of the of the movie itself was during a game.

1:02.6

There was a fight that started before the national anthem. The Hanson Brothers had a fight.

1:11.7

Before even the anthem starts.

That would be like the Miami Heat starting lineup during the big three era of Udonis, Haslam.

2:26.7

I can't even name the other players. Brian Grant.
