Starting a love story two years in was an interesting spin on the standard romantic arc. The story was kind of unhinged and darker than others in the series but not held my interest. I appreciated how much the misogynistic puck bunny narrative wasn’t centered. Totally unrealistic that NHL players are staying in hotel rooms with their girlfriends the night before major playoff series away games.
