Kevin Smith loves hockey

OK, so Kevin Smith hasn't befriended me on NHL Connect yet. Still I'm a fan of his movies, and he loves hockey. Usually in his movies there's some hockey references too. So that's cool. I can even respect him for liking the Devils. Since I'm a Red Wings fan, maybe that's why he's not my friend there. Oh well.
Anyway Greg Wyshynski aka Puck Daddy talked hockey with Smith recently and posted the interview Thursday.
Below are my favorite quotes from it.

I remember reading a review with a critic who said, "This filmmaker doesn't put comics and hockey in a movie to express something; they put it in there because they like comics and hockey." And that was exactly why I did it.
I liked hockey, and I still like hockey. If these dudes are going to try and break away from work to do anything, it ain't gonna be to play some [expletive] ball. They're going to play some stick.

If you were in charge of the NHL's marketing for one day, what exactly would you change?
My commercial would just be, "Hockey: It Will Get You Laid."

Anyway maybe he'll come back to NHL Connect and blog some more and accept me a friend. In the meantime I'll be on the lookout for his new movie, Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
