    This week, Howard and Karen discuss "Odd Man Rush," a film that tells the story of Bill Keenan, who grew up in the 1990s as a New York Rangers fan, played hockey for Harvard and ended up in Sweden and Germany when injuries disrupted his dreams of an NHL career. "Odd Man Rush" was well received by the critics. One described the film as "surprisingly sweet and thoughtful for a film that revolves around hockey. It certainly deserves recognition for its nuanced portrait of a side of the hockey world that is rarely shown on screen."
