No "Miracle" in the top five pretty much invalidates the lists.

I thought Goon was alright, but #2 all-time is ridiculous.

I don't know if there are 5 that I really like. 1. Miracle, 2. Rocket. something else after that...Goon may be somewhere up there, but Miracle and the Rocket are the only two hockey movies that I'd say I liked.

SI writing about hockey is like having the Most Valuable Primate writing a column on quantum physics.

I figured they did the lists in order to observe the 33rd anniversary (yesterday) of the Miracle on Ice. Wrong!

Every Mighty Ducks movie ever made sucks beyond belief. It cannot be stressed enough.

Does anybody remember a movie called "The Mystery of the Million Dollar Hockey Puck" from the 1970's? It would probably be placed in the Worst category, because of cornyness, although it is primarily a kids movie. It is about smugglers who place diamonds in a hollowed-out puck that eventually finds its way into use in a Canadiens game at the Forum. Danny Gallivan, the famous play-by-play man makes a cameo appearance in the movie.

Goon? I wasn't very impressed with that movie. It had its laughs but Sean William Scott came off like he was actually mentally challenged and not just a lovable dumb guy.

No Miracle? That movie gives me goose bumps everytime I watch it, and that almost never happens to me. Youngblood was a good one full of 80s cheese. Slapshot was great too. Mystery Alaska was pretty good. Never saw the other two

Ha- the Love Guru. That movie was so bad I tried to repress the memory of renting it.

MVP- I actually rented this for the sole purpose of irritating my wife. It was my turn to pick and her last movie pick was some god-awful chick flick. Since she hates monkeys/chimps and Dunston Checks In was not available, so I went with this.
