Trivia:
Peter Strauss auditioned to play a role in Slap Shot (1977) but broke his leg whilst skating in the audition. He later appeared on "The Tonight Show" (1962) with his leg in a cast to lament his plight, and marvelled that the much older Paul Newman skated rings around him without so much as a scratch. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: During the championship game, cardboard cutouts to fill in the "crowd" can be clearly seen in the upper levels of the arena. moreQuotes:
Ned Braden: Now, they give you one phone call. See they book you, and then the give you one phone call.Jack Hanson: Call the pizza man!
Morris Wanchuk: Why dontcha call a massage parlor!

This one belongs on the list of the greatest sports comedies ever made. The humor (and the language) is some of the saltiest you'll hear in a movie but it doesn't seem excessive at all. This tale of a minor-league hockey team having one last go at greatness is boisterous and bruisingly funny, even if you don't care for the sport itself. As the aging captain of the team who's constantly amazed at the crazy happenings around him , Newman is at his roguish, charming best. Rent it with "The Longest Yard" for a perfect double-bill. A four-star **** classic.
