get it immediately, Chrysler – er Stellantis –
plant here you come.
The NHL playoffs have begun, so why not mine the cult classic among hockey fans, Slap Shot, for another Fan Teaser? (The film was used as inspiration for the Week 8 Fan Teaser.)
Those eagle-eyed fans will recognize jersey number seven as that of Paul Newman‘s character, Charlestown Chiefs’ player/coach Reggie Dunlop.
Released in 1977 the language was considered so vulgar it had an extra tagline under its R rating “Certain language may be too strong for children.” (We here at the Fan Teaser offer that same warning should you choose to view any of the assembled clips that follow.) It was the film that that presented the world with the Hanson Brothers, Ogie Oglethorpe, Dave “Killer” Kowalski, and Dickie Dunn to name a few.
As a college hockey writer during the mid-1990s, fellow media members and I would often recite lines from the film throughout games. Among the favorites to pull out occurred frequently during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.
Just to review, The Fan Teaser comes courtesy of longtime buddy, Pat Schutte. The cropped photo below and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you by the early kickoff on Sunday.
