   Cute, and pretty good actually. The black pants are kind of distracting though. :)

   I think it’s very good! He breathes where Russell breathes, he emphasizes what Russell emphasizes – and even his eyes … they get intense, and annoyed (“I’m SICK and TIRED of hearing what a GREAT team the Soviets have …”) Down to the tan blazer and the big blue tie, boy’s got it down.

   “Tonight, we skate wif em. Tonight, we stay wif em.”

   I love the little detail of the pat on the air hockey table when he enters.

   And the last shot being a signed picture of the team after their win…genius. The only way it could have been more awesome is if the kid had plaid pants.

   Hah! I saw another piece on this kid here. It has this gem:

   “So one day, he’s upstairs shooting some ‘pucks’ in the bedroom — a little net that he shoots tennis balls into — and he starts calling out ‘Hughes!’ ‘Ross!’ ‘Auge!’. I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, those are all the guys who initially made the cut at the beginning of the movie!'”

    Yes, no plaid. I had to deduct points for that. It’s Minnesota state law.

    I love how he scratches his ear, absent-mindedly, when he says, “Tonight we stay wif’ um”
