Has anyone else gone to check this out? Maybe I'm just pulling a Fata but I'm surprised to not see it talked about more.

I went to go see it last night, and wasn't expecting much (because a play about hockey sounds a little hokey), but it turned out to be really funny and entertaining. Definitely brought back some good (and not so good) memories of the Flames, Calgary and Fleury. I'm in the camp that tends to think the guy's been a bit of an egotistical tit for most of his life, and some of that definitely comes through, but it gives you a little more insight into why he is who he is.

The production quality was also really high too. The set itself was a mini (synthetic) ice-rink on the stage, and the guy was on skates the whole time. Some nice production surprises along the way too.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure most CP members would love it. It's only on for about another week I believe. Martha Cohen Theatre.
