Watched it this weekend and really enjoyed it.

Really like how they portrayed the "Goon's", really showed them as good guys just doing what it takes to protect their teammates as opposed to crazy hooligans like you see in other movies.

You're spot on, I had a lot of couples in the theatre when I saw it and quite often it was only all the guys laughing their ass off.
I don't know if it's cause I'm geting old or something but I felt they could've completely left out Jay Baruchel's character, or at least toned him down a bit.

Yeah agreed on Jay. I'm 22 and I found him pretty annoying as well so dont worry haha. I think he was a good character to have, as he was really his only friend for a long time. But the constant vulgarity coming out of his mouth got pretty tedious. Maybe if he was only like that while at the games it could've been better.

I loved the movie first off. Cannot say enough good things about it. After reading all the thoughts on Jays character I thought I wouldn't be able to stand him, but I really liked him. He played that obnoxious hockey blogger incredibly well and his line about going to see his cousin strip may have been one of the best of the movie. I think part of the goal of his character was for people to be annoyed by him.

I did not like the movie very much. There were some funny parts but thats about it. I was expecting a lot more.

Watched it this weekend, found it really funny but like others have said I could not stand Jay Baruchel's character. My favorite character was that kiss-ass assistant captain who would repeat everything the coach yelled to the guys on the ice.
