A nice easy hockey movie :)

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2012)

Having grown up with Slapshot (1) as probably the only hockey movie that ever really depicted what goes on behind the curtains in semi-pro hockey, I was a bit hesitant as to what to expect here especially considering who the main protagonist is and his recent track record.
To keep a long story short, I enjoyed it! It's a nice & simple movie about a "loser" that gets a chance to play hockey and how everything plays out for him. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves hockey and for anyone who wants to enjoy a few mindless chuckles at home with popcorn, or while prepping your hockey equipment for the next game :D
PS - Kinda surprised at a few of the rants here against this movie... It's not entirely a fictional account and the hockey basis of the movie is very much about Doug Smith and his rise to the NHL back in the 80's.
