Who was the better leader? - Poll question

[stevkrause 1,247]

I'm pretty sure this one will be a landslide, but for fun - who was the better team leader?

1. John Biebe

OR

2. Reg Dunlop

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

Of course Dunlop.

Do you really think I'm going to vote Russell Crowe over Paul Newman?

Dunlop led his s***ty team to a championship just from playing goon hockey. He was also a player/coach, which you don't see very often. Without him and his crafty lies about the move to Florida, that team wouldn't have won s***. He also led by example, by fighting alongside his teammates, even though he was too old to.

Russell Crowe vs Paul "The Man" Newman........Seriously? How about Wayne and Garth in the next one? GAME ON!

[Hiei 192]

The Late, The Great, Paul Newman. AKA Reg Dunlop.

"That's good writin' dickie!"

[T.Low 1,011]

HEY! This isn't about All American Paul Newman vs Aussie *** Russle Crowe.

Were talking about an Alaskan born and bread John Beibe, rides a frikin snowmobile to work with his kids in hockey helmets. Sheriff John Biebe for crying out loud.

I think Reg was a better skater.

I wonder how the hockey community would have treated Mystery Alaska if it had taken place in a Canadian town against the Leafs.

I hate to say it guys, but reg really wasnt a great leader. He had a hard time even keeping his team together, he basically instructed his team to sell out and goon it up just to sell seats. I dont wish to take anything away from one of the greatest movies in history, and hey... I love the chiefs, but they were goons.

Now, despite biebe being played by a farrrr less cool actor, that guy was a great leader.... the guy would s*** out at least 3 or 4 motivational speeches every day before breakfast, and everyone in the entire town loved him. He was also the town's sheriff and had a hot wife. Also, they got to take that awesome ice-slide river thingy to the rink... (I tried to make one once in my backyard... I did not succeed).

Sorry guys, have to go against the grain on this one.

Like I said already, Dunlop led by example. He motivated his team through lies and fighting, and led by example because he himself fought and gooned it up. His players looked up to him and did whatever he told them to (except for Ned Braydon).

Also, he had his own motivational speeches and the town also grew to love him and the team.

More entertaining = Reg...but

Better leader = Biebe

[stevkrause 1,247]

as I was posting this thread, it dawned on me how long it's been since I watched Slapshot... goodnight all, I'm going to watch the greatest hockey movie of all time now

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

Not even close. Dunlop had a much different group of guys to handle than Biebe had. Gotta give it to Reg.

Why isn't Charlie Conway in this vote? He lead the Ducks to a Pee-Wee championship, Gold Medal, and a win against the varsity team.

[VM1138 1,921]

Biebe beats out Reggie Dunlop, for the reasons already mentioned. Dunlop wasn't that great of a leader. Biebe was a much better leader.

Boy, I can't wait for the season to start.
