    Another question might be, "Which underdog best represents the Rockets going into the playoffs?"

    I choose the USA Hockey team...

    On a side note, a friend of mine played ND football and he hated that movie...He said Rudy was a pain in the azz and he wasn't good looking like the movie...Overrated story...

    Mighty Ducks all the way. Flying V!

    Then again I haven't seen that movie since I was 10 so my opinion could be slightly skewed.

    I loved the Happy Gilmore reference in 50 First Dates. There's nothing better than those wink wink jokes to the audience.

    The best was the Tommy Boy reference.

    It has become a sad world when The Miracle is mentioned as a hockey movie of choice before Slapshot!....

    Have we forgotten about "The Mighty Ducks", "Over the Top", and "Kingpin"?

    Must not be a lot of "Breaking Away" fans here. That was my choice. If anyone notices in the rockets game chats, then I say "Go Cutters Go" a lot. There's a reason for that and it's not that I'm a wacko spewing dribble. :)

    Rocky can only be the underdog so many times eh? Five movies which progressively got worse. No thanks. My runner-up is "SeaBiscuit".

    I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one. I wanted to be a Hanson brother so bad.......but I was too good looking.
