I found "Slap Shot 2" to be a movie that never captured whatever it was the original "Slap Shot" had. This is a bad thing. Comparing the acting skills of Steven Baldwin and Paul Newman is a no-brainer. Still, "Slap Shot 2" did have its moments, most of which were in scenes that toned down on the Baldwin factor. I liked the idea of the Harlem Globetrotters meet hockey. It made for a watchable plot. There were some moments of laugher as well, and all in all it was a fun watch, but this is a much poorer movie by far when compared to the original.
