Once I realigned my
expectations with the reality of the movie, I began to enjoy myself — though there wasn't as much hockey as I'd hoped (more on that
in a minute), the romantic subplot, between Doug, and self - professed slut and lover of the violence of hockey, Eva (Alison Pill) captured my interest, not for its sweetness or charm, which it had, but because Eva was quirky, but
in a
realistic manner.
