New poster for the hockey flick Goon

Could this be a badass hockey film ala Slap Shot? We’ll see on March 30, 2012.

Doug Glatt (Seann William Scott) works as a bouncer in a seedy dive bar, where his reputation for being good with his fists runs in stark contrast with his friendly, low-key demeanour. One night, at a hockey game, Doug is caught on video saving his best friend (Jay Baruchel) from a pummelling at the hands of an irate hockey player. Needing a new goon for his team, a coach (Nicholas Campbell) enlists Doug, and soon- his numerous beatings make him a local hero. He’s drafted to the NHL by a coach (Kim Coates) who needs someone to protect his star player Xavier Laflamme (Marc-Andre Grodin). He quickly becomes the most feared goon in the league, and soon, goes head-to-head with his childhood idol, Ross Rhea (Liev Schreiber)- a goon who’s looking for a last hurrah before retiring.

I'm just an average man/ With an average life/ I work from nine to five/ Hey, hell, I pay the price/ All I want is to be left alone/ In my average home/ But why do I always feel/ Like I'm in the twilight zone
