"Miracle" was the movie....Kurt Russell deserved a nomination for that. I love that movie. And yeah, running the goalie is one sure thing that will get some rough attention no matter what. They are also covered in massive amounts of pads and have a huge stick, so anyone taking a shot at them is not going to really do much damage unless they come flying in full speed and even then, you'll probably fail and end up taking a beating. I've seen goalies go after guys and it is never pretty b/c you just can't hurt them with all that gear on while they have two heavy gloves they can batter you with.

Thanks for the reminder of the movie's name. Kurt Russell was indeed great in it, as he was in so many others including the incredibly important film "Silkwood" directed by Mike Nichols and also starring Meryl Streep, Cher, Diana Scarwid, Fred Ward and Craig T Nelson - none of them slouches, LOL.

I love sports movies:"Pride of the Yankees," "Downhill Racer," "Brian's Song," "Breaking Away," "Chariots of Fire," "League of Their Own," "Cool Runnings," "The Sandlot," "The Babe," "Hoop Dreams," "61," "Lords of Dogstown," "Bend It Like Beckham," "Million Dollar Baby," "Munich," "We Are Marshall," "Invictus," "The Fighter," "Touchback," "Friday Night Lights," "Moneyball," "42," "I, Tonya" and many more. They really teach important lessons and are a window onto all sort of social and political issues.

Thanks for bringing these movies to mind.
