The divine forces that shaped the ECAC never imagined that the best team in one of the division would ever limp through the 21 game campaign with just as many losses as wins and thus reduce the playoff to an NHL style you get invited if you don't manage to lose 80 percent of your games along...
This might have worked if Foley and scriptwriter Chris Columbus hadn't been so heavy-handed Hannah as Tracey gives a fairly convincing portrayal of limp, youthful resentment.

The show recounts the misadventures of a troupe of fifth-rate actors as they perform...
With these experts' connivance, Watson adopted a new identity based on false documents and stationery filched from New York City's Metropolitan Museum. To help people in the art world remember him easily, Watson flaunted a quirky bow tie and cultivated a limp by wearing an excruciatingly tight pair of Italian shoes...
