Seann William Scott delivers what is perhaps the best performance of his career as the slow-witted yet lovable Doug Glatt, who finds himself swept up into the Canadian ice hockey minors when it is discovered he is an expert fighter. With best pal (and co-writer) Jay Baruchel cheering him on, Doug heads north and swiftly makes a name for himself. While this triggers varied responses from his teammates, it sets him on a collision course with the league’s premiere enforcer, Ross Rhea (Liev Schreiber). The results are funny and surprisingly sweet, with plenty of tooth-chipping, nose-breaking and blood-swallowing brawling along the way.
