best thing so far. documentary about the 1990s Detroit Red Wings hockey team and the core built around former Soviet national team players. so much drama, from defection to on rink excitement to off rink tragedy. very easy to get involved even without a strong NHL background. Lots of hockey fans in the crowd and I could tell I was missing stuff. great archival and home movie sleuthing mixed with talking heads and animation. loved it, keep an eye out for it.
