Enjoyable but not for the squeamish
I can't vouch for the accuracy of the hockey scenes, but the story is a mix of blood, violence, humor, raunchiness, sweetness, family values and blood (yes I need to say it twice) that oddly come together in almost perfect harmony. The movie hangs on Seann William Scott, who is in almost every scene, and he is very good. His portrayal of a simple guy just trying to succeed in life and love has a Rocky-like quality to it. The music also deserves mention because it lends an operatic, over the top air to several key scenes. No Oscars here, just a lot more fun than expected.
