Trivia:
The entire New York Rangers roster is fictional. Many players on the actual Rangers roster at the time refused to be in the film. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: When Bailey dies in New York, it's winter in Mystery, Alaska, yet when his body is returned to Mystery, he's buried right away. This is generally impossible, as the ground is frozen solid and hard as concrete, and those that are die in Alaska during the winter are interred after the thaw. Sometimes that means up to 7 months between death and burial. moreQuotes:

I liked this film. Not loved it, but liked it. One because of it's cast (Russell Crowe, Hank Azaria, Burt Reynolds, Mary McCormack, Lolita Davidovich and Mike Myers), two because of it's association with hockey (also because it associates with my favorite NHL team The Rangers) and three because of it's few (yet good) scenes. Jay Roach also comes into his first real film that is not a parody (he directed the 2 Austin Powers flicks). Plot involves Azaria, who is a Sports Illustration writer who can (and will) bring the New York Rangers to the small (yet powerfull) hockey team in the community of cold Mystery, Alaska. Great character development provided by writer David E. Kelly (who makes a jump from Lake Placid and Ally McBeal). Not in the best of the year film category (because of a few flaws) but it isn't terrible either, especially because of Mike Myers cameo as a Canadian sportscaster. A-
