FVF. Rush is not as entertaining (I loved how FVF also took one inside the mechanics-no pun intended-of the bureaucracy behind the races, made for a really interesting perspective)
Best hockey movie ever is the documentary "Do You Believe in Miracles?" of the 1980 Lake Placid USA stunner over the USSR, phenomenally entertaining and very well-researched, almost had me in tears by the end of it, really lets you feel the emotion behind the heroics of Herb Brooks.

Terrific cast from top to bottom. Also James Mangold is a heck of a director.

Maybe it can. Look at the movie Ford vs Ferrari


No chance, if you can drive a Ferrari even close you should be a formula 1 driver

Even if Ovi didn't Ovi would still be the greatest goal scorer of our generation/all time.


I agree, i wouldnt say ovi is one of the top five players of all time, MAYBE top ten but idk, just because his game is not very well rounded.

For sure hes the top goal scorer of our generation/all time without a doubt!

I think its possible, yet unlikely, that matthews passes him. I think it's media overhype to an extent. Matthews is unbelievably talented, but ovi scores at an otherworldly rate.

Logan 🥲🔥


Absolutely. One of the biggest surprises I've ever seen-I hate Marvel/X-men etc.-absolute GARBAGE, the only good to ever come out of the "superhero" genre before Logan was Christopher Nolan's masterful Dark Knight trilogy (sheer brilliance, Nolan is the greatest director alive). Then Logan came along, and was a shocker. Hugh Jackman and Dafne Keen (where did she come from?) were phenomenal, the score (Beltrami) was excellent, and Mangold's direction was the icing on the cake. I also liked how the violence was not the usual "Let's get as much blood on the screen as possible (a.k.a. Quentin Tarantino)" style of today, but rather served as a commentary on the nature of violence (The "there's no living with a killing" quote from Shane emphasized this). Great movie.

I think Gretzky and McDavid are the best at scoring goals. Ovechkin is the best goal scorer

The Dark Knight trilogy is especially awesome if you know about the Viral Marketing campaign they did to tie Batman Begins to the second movie.

Watch that.


To be fair haha, that is not the kind of super car I’m talking about I’m talking about real super cars; like a Pagani would demolish that Supercar and Merecedes.

The Marvel movies have some great ones (I’m a fan seen them all etc still am seeing the new ones); but the Dark Knight is hands down one of the best superhero movies/ trilogies. The Dark Knight is a thrill too watch. Kinda wish I could watch for the “first” time again. And the Dark Knight rises is a good closer.

Please direct all non-NHL related conversations to "The Box".

I'm really glad to see a proper sense of community developing here but if we don't keep these threads in line, then we'll end up in the 100s by seasons end.

I know this is off subject, but the 4th thread is still open, I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be closed, would you mind checking that out?
