For a huge hockey fan like me this is an instant classic. Funnier then "Slap Shot". Watch this, very very funny. I give it a B+

"You're not here to play hockey, you're here to fight." Doug Glatt's(Scott) life is going nowhere. His parents are not proud of him and he doesn't like his bouncing job. When him and his friend Ryan (Baruchel) go to a local hockey game to relax Doug gets into a fight with a player. After the coach sees the fight he signs Doug to the team. He has now found a purpose in life...a hockey goon. I have to admit that I am a huge hockey fan. Growing up in Detroit and having half my family from Montreal you could say it's in my blood. I really liked the movie "Slap Shot" but until now there has never really been a great hockey comedy. This ranks up with "Major League" in terms of great sports comedies. Not only does this movie have great quotable lines and great fight scenes it also has heart. I don't know if it was the hockey fan in me but I really liked this movie and laughed all the way through, plus it's a true story which makes it that much better. Overall, if you liked "Slap Shot" you will love this movie. To me it's an instant classic sports comedy. Very funny. I give it a B+
