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.
