Pegadinha:

At the national team hockey tryouts, one of the main characters, Jack O'Callahan greets another player Jim Craig, by saying, "What's up, you sieve!" In ice hockey slang, a sieve is a goal tender who allows too many shots to go through into his/her net. Jim Craig was the goalie for the American team.

Goofs:

Continuidade: After Jack O'Callahan and Rob McClanahan fight, the blood on McClanahan's face changes inconsistently between shots.

Rob McClanahan: I played for him for four years. A few more months wouldn't hurt. What about you?
Mike Eruzione: Just trying to play a little more hockey, that's all.
Rob McClanahan: Rest of your boys all here?

A Miracle for Disney

Don't let the fact that this is a Disney movie deter you from watching a thoroughly enjoyable and adult-level sports movie for two-plus hours. Kurt Russell does an excellent job portraying coach Herb Brooks as a complex and sometimes ruthless and inscrutable leader. Very UN-Disney-like indeed.

I am not a hockey fan - in fact I dislike the game intensely - yet I enjoyed the well-crafted scenes of competitive team play. Knowing the outcome of the BIG GAME did not detract at all from the excitement and suspense surrounding it. Sort of like the suspense Ron Howard achieved in Apollo 13 (where we knew in advance the outcome, but were worried about and later relieved for our astronauts).

A must-see for sports fans and non-fans alike.
