Top 25 Hockey Movies of all-time....# 14(b)

And # 14(b) is "The Town!"
I know what you are thinking - hockey movie?  Well.......the main character played by Ben Affleck, Doug MacRay, has a hockey background - notice the jacket below.  He is described as a player that had a chance to be a professional, but messed up the opportunity and went into a life of crime.

I read one blogger say that since they are stealing from baseball, it is definitely a hockey movie.  I sort of buy that and the anonymous gesture made at the end of the movie is enough to make this list. 

Jeremy Renner is great in the movie, and his character is summed up in one exchange:
Doug MacRay: I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people. James Coughlin (Renner) : ...Whose car are we gonna' take?

While only a 7.7 rating on IMDB (WTF?) - this is a really, really good movie.  Take your time and enjoy this one.

Fu Manchu 2011

Often immitated, but never equaled - Fu Manchu and Beef Jerky Sunday!  The real men who participated:

 Honorable mention: Chub with a short growth week after a meeting.


 Third place - the cagey veteran - J "Mighty" Q!


 Second place - the rook - Josh!  Nice shirt!


Nice group effort for post-game beers!
  
And the winner: the Hulk-Hogan-esque, Stephen!


Nice work gentlemen!

The only good thing aboout Vancouver!

Spoiler alert - don't open at work!

I liked Vancouver when I visited the city.  Aside from all the pan-handling heroin addicts, beautiful city. 

Those green guys are sort of amusing.

Then there was the Steve Moore incident (not pictured).  And then their team acting like bitches - aka acting like tha Canadiens - this year in the playoffs.

But to top it off they blamed the riots in the NHL.  Nice.
But there is one Canuck fan who really get's it - here she is below:

I say "Raka" - you say "Chaka."
