Friday (movie quotes) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Posted on April 4th, 2008 – 9:05 AMBy Michael Rand
In honor of their first ever division title, courtesy of a very entertaining 3-1 victory over Calgary last night, we present to you 10 movie quotes that have to do with either the word “Wild” or the sport of “hockey.” It should be a blessed day in the RandBall chapel, including a frank jersey discussion entitled, “The Ethics of Kubel.” But first: those quotes.
1. Today it’s Wheaties boxes. Tomorrow it’s video games and action figures. The sky’s the limit!
2. I got my eye on the three of you. You pull one thing, you’re out of this game. I run a clean game here. I have any trouble here, I’ll suspend ya. … I’m listening to the [redacted] song!
3. If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.
4. You were supposed to spy on them. Not to film some porn flick!
5. Terribly sorry to bother you, but, um, do you speak koala? Sprechen Sie koala?
6. To the game and getting out of this hick town! Thank God there is a sport for middle-sized white boys.
7. Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that’s what you have here, tonight, boys. That’s what you’ve earned here tonight. One game. If we played ‘em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game.
8. I shot four varmints already this morning. One more don’t matter none to me.
9. I play hockey and I fornicate, ’cause those are the two most fun things to do in cold weather.
10. (Plot synopsis from IMDB.com instead of quote): Jack scrambles onto the ice in the midst of practice for Steven’s junior league hockey team, and he and his teammates discover the monkey has a natural talent for the game. With Jack on the team, Steven’s team is on their way to a league championship.
Fasola-links! Jimmy Kimmel reads. … And the misadventures of Alexa Rodriguez.

I think it’s 9, not 6, that’s Mystery Alaska.
1 is one of the Mighty Ducks movies. D2 maybe??
Yes, 9 is Mystery Alaska.
10 = The intro to Jon’s “Great American Novel”
While both Stu and Stensation have both made valiant attempts at #10, it is quite obvious that this is the synopsis of Joker’s next date.
(this is never going to get old.)
stensation - It is most clearly D2. Knuckle-puck!
Jon’s “Great American Novel”
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT! MUST CREDIT RANDBALL!
The night air was damp. It had almost a physical presence, hanging from your shoulders like an unwanted backpack filled with spoiled deli meat. Still, I carried on, knowing what I had to do. Someone had to let the people know.
In the distance, I could see them, all of them, completely unaware of what was transpiring. A wave of pity and disgust swept over me. It was as if an occult hand had reached down and slapped me with a nauseating whack. I stopped to catch my breath, and pushed forward. Always, always pushing forward.
I soldiered past the revellers on the patio, damned by their own obliviousness, and entered the tavern. No one noticed me, so I let loose with a primordial yell that I would have thought myself incapable of before the Troubles.
The patrons stopped dead at the sound, and turned towards me.
“You people,” I said in the steadiest voice I could manage, “you don’t know, do you? How could you? But here it is: the Stanley Cup Finals are on right now. The cable went out at my place. Please, put one of the TVs on Versus.”
Super Rook - I thought 4-9 were all quotes from “Joker’s Guide To Scoring In Life & The Sack”
#6 is Youngblood
Answer key:
1. D2
2. Slap Shot
3. Into the Wild
4. Wild Things
5. The Wild
6. Youngblood
7. Miracle
8. Call of the Wild
9. Mystery, Alaska
10. MVP (Most Valuable Primate)
