Slap Shot - Unleash Ogie Olgilthorpe

The most classic introduction of a sports lineup ever put into a movie, The Syracuse Bulldogs unleash Ogie Olgilthorpe.

[@jeanesingsjazz]

Everything about this movie is perfect. The one thing people seem to praise last is the script…the screenplay by Nancy Dowd. It contains some of the funniest lines ever written.

[@samanthab1923]

The fashion show! 😂

[@gonoannowhere]

I'm trying to listen to the fucking song!

[@jameshoran8]

Dowd thought it was to be a serious movie.

[@harrykadaras9459]

They don't make awesome movies like this anymore for a simple reason - they don't have the writing talent anymore. Hollywood nowadays is chock full of talentless millenials - the only humor they can create is "sarcasm", which is the lowest level form of humor. I miss the old days and the creative TV and movie writers...

[@HouseholdDog]

Oh no I really think it has a great script and story too.

[@williamtobin7282]

My old man rode round on the bus and played hockey, across Canada. He was a serious guy but he laughed his ass off when slap shot came out. He loved that movie, fights, broads booze, he was nuts. RIP G.A.TOBIN

[@edwardofgreene]

"This young man has had a very trying rookie season. What with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada, and that countries refusal to accept him. Well, I guess that's more than most 21 years olds could handle. ~ Ogie Olgilthorpe!" In a movie full of great lines I might have laughed at this one the most when I first heard it.

[@darthcheney7447]

🤣🤣🤣 Still laugh to this day. One of the greatest movie lines ever.

[@johnhelms8226]

Everything about this scene is genius. The name, Clarence “Screaming Buffalo” Swamptown, cracks me up every time.

Arguably one of the funniest parts of the funniest movie of all time. I’m 56 and would love to go back in time and do this to an unruly crowd. I probably wouldn’t, but it’s still a great scene.

[@rickcaldwell2862]

Ross "Mad Dog" Madison is long-time Portland Buckaroo, Connie Madigan. Yes, he was a mean SOB on the ice.

[@kurtkensson2059]

I remember watching him in the WHL days, when he played against the San Diego Gulls. He always got the most boos in that old Sports Arena.

[@UKenn78]

1:10. Favorite line from the entire movie. Very subtle but hilarious at the same time.

[@KeithFroehlich07]

He was suspended forever but for gambling that's Joe Nolan.

[@johnpatterson4272]

Slap Shot is a movie like the TV show Trailer Park Boys. An honest juxtaposition of what was happening in North American culture at the time. Both the movie and TV series hold genuine cultural significance as time goes on.

[@reggiedunlop5167]

Ogie was the meanest bastard I ever played against.

[@THESANDMAN9]

Bullshit, there were a lot meaner, tougher guys than OGIE, OR He would have been in the NHL OR WHA. I PLAYED with + Against Meaner, Tougher guys.BEAUCE 1975.

And what most don't realise... All these guys were really actual players! Ogolthorpe was an actual player.. The Hanson brothers were actual players!

[@scottlevison7994]

WPGinterceptor Connie Madigan actually spent some time with the St Louis Blues.

[@1978mcduff]

Ogie is Ned Dowd, and the writer of the movie is his sister Nancy!

[@Taverens_Pull]

I thought ogie was loosely based off of Goldie Goldenthorpe

[@Isabella-nh5dm]

And they were damn good players too. Enforcers aside, these guys were big, they were fast and they could really skate.

[@QuantumBeard]

Most, in fact, do realize this.

[@haroldbenton979]

That lineup there was basically what the Soviets thought they were playing against when they ran up against the Broad Street Bullies in Philly in that game. The one were they literally refused to come back onto the ice after getting beat up in the first period until they were told no game no pay.

[@christopherspickard9098]

Not Poodle!

That has to be one of the best lines in cinema. The sheer fear of the Poodle. Very Counter-intuitive.

[@tomspice73]

I think this the moment I would shit my pants, standing against this team of die-hard insanely tough oldies. NHL should sign them on.

[@THESANDMAN9]

NO, you wouldn't, you'd get ready to fight mentally and hope you got a goon you could handle.. The guy they call Gilmore Tuttle is actually 6ft 6in Blake Ball who did play for Syracuse in 75. I'm 5' 10" but I fought him to a draw, I was Lucky the Team I played for is the team depicted at the end of the movie called the Beauce Jaros. We beat up on Johnstown. (Charlestown)

[@tucoramirez6058]

Ever since I saw this film all those years back, every time I see a poodle. I just smile. Slapshot!

[@milesdufourny4813]

The Ogie Oglethorpe character was based on Bill "Goldie" Goldthorpe.

[@ThePinkfloydd]

Ogietorp!

[@tomp4925]

Gilmour Tuttle- Blake Ball. He probably did lead the EHL in penalty minutes from 1960-1968.

[@Pablo668]

I feel like Ogie Olgilthorpe would be one of Canadas favourite sons.

Think, just *think*, about what a Canadian hockey player would have to do for Canada not to want them back! Could barely breathe the first time I saw this movie.

[@cogitatione1]

And life imitates art and is even stranger: A few years after this movie, Mike Milbury brought in a lineup of goons to go after Ulf Samuelsson, basically sacrificing the Bruins' chances of winning the 1991 Wales Conference Finals. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eISVdqRpZctqrqs

BAD move by Reggie, changing things up right before the championship, and abandoning what got them there. He's like Bill Callahan.
