    A riot. Even if Hockey has never been my sport, I think this is the kind of movie that after a while you start to think about the characters as your buddies.
    Nevermind the level of sarcasm, senseless violence and gutter language. It says more about the men in the rink, their issu...( read more)es and their needs, than the typical, preachy and over-sentimental hollywood crap.

Lindsay Crouse makes the most of her underwritten role as a disgruntled wife. Overlong and over-vulgar.
