(laugh)īARUCHEL: There was no lying from day one. SCOTT: Yeah, I may have fibbed a little bit in that first meeting.
JOURNALIST: Any of your real blood mixed in with that great big blood? I’m pretty good.” But after that, after they saw me on skates.īARUCHEL: It was all so obvious. SCOTT: No, no, we were lucky. There was some bruises for sure and we, we tagged each other. A lot of landed punches, but we were pretty lucky for the amount of stuff that we did.īARUCHEL: And no one opened each other up. JOURNALIST: Jay, you always wanted to write about a Canadian ice hockey story, but you didn’t play a hockey player in this film…īARUCHEL: ’Cause I’m terrible at hockey. (laugh) And why would I want to show people how shitty I am at skating. And, who would buy me as a fucking hockey player? …Fandom doesn’t necessarily mean that like I love playing the game. I quite like skating and I like being out there with my friends a little bit. I don’t do it very often, but I just love the game. I was you know that’s where I was raised. That’s where I still live. It’s where I’ll be for the rest of my life and, and when you grow up there, it’s just like there’s some things that are just taken for granted. And, it’s just like one of the few things that like my mother and my friends have in common is they’ll both ask me about the game last night.
