“This was an excellent movie. It will definitely be collecting quite a few rewards. If youu0026#39;re a hockey fan, youu0026#39;ll love it. If youu0026#39;re a movie fan, you should see it. If youu0026#39;re a Canadian, this is your history on film. Iu0026#39;m tired of constantly hearing people grumble about the state of Canadian cinema (u0026quot;not enough money blah blah blahu0026quot;). Well this is a great Canadian movie that stands up, so go see it and support it. This is one of those great films everyoneu0026#39;s been saying they wanted.. Itu0026#39;s about one of the greatest hockey players ever, and itu0026#39;s one of the greatest hockey movies ever. There is a lot of history in this film and it looks gorgeous. Roy Dupuis is excellent. One thing I did wonder, however, is why there is nothing about Henri Richard in it.”
