Slap Shot Actor Passes

We missed this when it occured, but Brad Sullivan, better know to hockey fans as Morris "Mo" Wanchuk of Slap Shot fame, passed away on Dec. 31, 2008. He was 77 and died peacefully in Manhatten, NY.

Put No. 2 in the rafters in Charlestown.

Mr. Sullivan was a character actor who also had turns in television shows like Miami Vice, NYPD Blue and Law & Order as well as movies like The Untouchables, Prince of Tides and Canadian Bacon.

But to us, he'll always be the man who taught us about that little bar, The Palm Isle, where the barmaids are wont to rub their jugs on your jacket without even saying hello.

Short of heading out to The Palm Isle to hoist a shot in Mo's honor, you can read our tribute to Reg Dunlop and the best Slap Shot quotes that we did after Paul Newman died last year.

Or you can watch the man himself explain it all...

R.I.P. Mo. Hope you're getting 'all of that gorgeous snatch in F-L-A.'

From the paid obit in "The Gray Lady":

I’m not passing judgment, I’m just saying.

This makes me want to ensure that certain random factoids make their way into my obit someday.

On the road you prayed you never got a roomie like Moe.

Coach McGrath: Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin’ in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible masturbator, you know, couldn’t control himself. Why, he would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn’t… you know…

RIP Mo.

Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.

Ahh, girls "with nipples as hard as little rocks"

RIP, sir. Your movie has been entertaining me for as long as I remember, thank you.

You know your son looks like a fag to me, you better get married again ‘cause he’s going to wind up with somebody’s cock in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson.

Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.
