Slap shot

Bernie Geoffrion, whose name will be associated for eternity with the Habs of a certain era and with the slap shoot, has died. In the winter, radio signals bounce for a much longer distance. I haven't seen Slap Shot, containing one of Paul Newman's greatest roles and performances, since it was in theatrical release. It's also one of those movies with real snow in it. So's Nobody's Fool, as I recall, another of Newman's great roles and performances. The role is courtesy of the book (thanks, Richard Russo), not a screenplay.
