Trivia:
Several members of the Pittsburgh Penguins make appearances in the movie. The most prominent member was Luc Robitaille, who scored the game tying goal. Markus Näslund - virtually an NHL unknown at the time, but later a league superstar with the Vancouver Canucks - also appears. The Chicago Blackhawks were played by the Cleveland Lumberjacks (Pittsburgh's IHL affiliate at the time). Ian Moran (a Lumberjack at the time; now in the NHL) played Chris Chelios. more
Goofs:
Continuity: The ice surface at the end of the movie appeared like it had just been Zamboni-ed, instead of scuffed-up as it would be following an interruption in the game. more
Quotes:
Hallmark: Have you had any contact with the agressors?
McCord: I killed two. Does that qualify as contact?
