Famous Hockey Movies

Thanks to Darwin Barton.

Hockey fans will have a consistent stream of games for a majority of the year, but what are they supposed to do during the summer? After watching reruns of their favorite games, many hockey fans begin to turn to the Hollywood version of hockey games. Although they have not been entirely popular, the few movies that have been made have achieved a cult like status amongst all sports fans.

One of the most famous hockey movies produced was the classic movie Slap Shot featuring Paul Newman. Playing for the failing Charleston Chiefs, Newman attempts to learn more about the selling of the Chiefs, as well as what his future holds. Little does he know that his life will be turned upside down once the Hanson Brothers join the team. The three brothers, with matching long hair and thick black glasses turn the team around with their "old school" style of hockey.

One of the other famous hockey series is the Mighty Ducks trilogy. The movie follows Gordon Bombay and Charlie Conway as they form their friendship on the dismal District 5 hockey team. The team turns around with a timely gift and begin competing as the Mighty Ducks. The second movie follows the Ducks as they compete against the world at the Junior Goodwill Games, and the third movie follows the same group of kids as they begin their high school hockey career.

Although I enjoy watching hockey on satellite deals and hd dvr, watching some older hockey movies is a great way to spend the off season.

Giants of San Fran

Guest post written by our friend Trent Horton.

Man, I can't believe the Giants made it all the way to the National League Championship Series so far! I never would have thought it possible seeing the line up they started off with on opening day. But after calling up Buster Posey in June, their offense has really started to take off and help their awesome pitching staff. While I'm not a fan of Brian Sabean, I've got to admit he's made a lot of great moves this season to get the Giants to this point. From the picking up of Aubrey Huff and Pat Burrell, the trades for Javy Lopez and Ramon Ramirez and the claiming of Cody Ross off of waivers, it seems like almost every move has worked out to get them into the postseason.

The only thing I have to complain about is manager Bruce Bochy. His over managing has probably cost them a number of games and made things a lot closer than they had to be. This whole season the slogan for the Giants has been "Giants baseball: It's torture." I think a lot of that falls on Bochy and his insistence to make as many changes as possible on each and every day. Thankfully they have the pitching staff to overcome all of Bochy's mistakes and once in awhile even Bochy's shenanigans pays off. So far I've seen every game this year thanks to satellite TV from www.TVByDirect.com and I hope to see them in the World Series!

Golf Clubs

While hubby is away I am thinking right now of getting gifts for him to surprise him when he gets back. I always thought of getting a Nike golf clubs since he likes to play golf. I am pretty sure he will be very delighted. Many times that I heard from him that he wishes he can have a good one. Although hubby enjoys watching different sports but playing golf and tennis is on top of his list as the sports he loves playing. I am excited to see his expression when he gets here. So this means I have to work hard so I can buy it myself.

2007 World Series

One of my favorite sports is baseball. And the 2007 World Series is fast approaching and who would be the best among the teams. I don't have any idea before how coveted this sports here in the US. Millions of fans gathers everytime there is scheduled play for their favorite teams and more so with the start of the world series. Fans can't wait to hold their world series tickets to watch the live game of their fave teams. It is the most awaited event that can be equated to holidays here in the US. People are talking about it. In fact my friend's hubby bought a shirt with their favorite teams imprinted on it for his whole family. That's how they are serious about waiting for the big event.
