Good hockey movie

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2012)

actually giving this movie a 6.5 rating. the movie is a wonderful look into the hockey culture with the fans clamoring for the goon who usually is the least talented player on the ice..this film has a wonderful cast and the lead was terrific emboding the dim witted stereotype of a goon or policeman. the movie has all the little things that one sees when watching the local hockey team play...the puck bunny, the code, the blood thirsting crowd, the stereotype of the french Canadian hockey player, the stereotype of the Russian hockey player, the old school coach along with the prerequisite cursing and bloodletting. Though what separated this movie from the usual was the good acting and the likability of the lead and the dread and evil incarnate of the Liev Schrieber character. for a bonus watch for the appearance of the trailer park boys in small cameos.
