It’s so freakin’ hot in DC that all I want to do is turn on the A/C and watch a movie. This movie.
Admit it, you have this movie memorized. You’ve been known to say “Parlez-vous Olympics?!” and “Doug can read.” in conversation. You want Doug to put his hands “WHERE?!” and you don’t care if he calls you Rita or Anita in the morning.
You wish there was really a bar called the Penalty Box full of crotchety locals who think you just said “finger painting.” You’d love a Bobby Hull game sweater and you’d break up with Hale the minute Doug walked in (or just because his name is Hale).
For Doug Dorsey, you’d definitely put the Pemchenko Twist in the program and you’d always remember who said it first. They just don’t make movies like this anymore.

There totally is a bar called the Penalty Box right outside the St.Pete Times Forum where the lightning play. I ordered a Molson there and the locals looked at me like I was nuts.
There are so many things right with this story that I can’t even process them.
OMG, this movie. I can’t …. too many amazing things happen in a two-hour span. And the best part? It starts off at the 1988 Olympics – in CALGARY!
Also – did you know there were three sequels??? I know what I’m doing when I get back from my trip to Nova Scotia!
I love this movie so much that I send out the DVDs as valentine’s day presents to hockey lovers and non-hockey lovers. It’s the film that brings everyone together!
