Canucks Movie Night

As the Vancouver Canucks move (nervously, one fears) towards their date with destiny, it might be helpful for the team to screen a Paul Newman movie. Not "Slap Shot," though that would be okay; but the Newman film with a message is "The Hustler." In this poolroom saga, the gambler Bert (George C. Scott) detects a hidden loser within Fast Eddie Felson (Newman).

Bert:  "You happen to be about one-half loser, the other half winner."

Fast Eddie: "How do you figure that?"

Bert: "I watched you lose to a man you should of beat."

Fast Eddie: "Maybe you're right."

Bert: "I know I'm right."
