...round of the annual Beanpot tournament. In front of 17,565 fans on the biggest stage of Boston area hockey, the Crimson (5-12-4) made a strong showing against its top-ranked foes, but junior Alex Biega’s would-be tying goal found the net a split-second after the clock expired in the third period.“I thought it was a great hockey game,” said Crimson coach Ted Donato ’91. “I’m very proud of our guy.

To cover up this lack of substance, there’s some cheap and flashy editing and a smattering of out-of-place one-liners. Split-second montages connect some scenes, and nearly every other shot in the car flips focus back and forth between Valentina and her Transporter. Contemporary issues that should be addressed more fully (if they need be brought up at all) are tossed in only for the flickers of recognition they draw...
