Corrected entry: In the second-to-last game of the season, Xavier Laflamme gets a five minute major penalty, and goes to the penalty box. In real life, Laflamme would have been ejected from the game and another player would serve the penalty for him.

Continuity mistake: In the first game Doug plays for the Highlanders, after the opposing team scores after an implied lengthy time, there is a shot of the scoreboard. The only problem is, the scoreboard is shown to be counting down from the very beginning of the game.
Ross Rhea: So Huntsie I was wondering. How long does it take you to get your hair like that?
Huntington: About four hours.
Ross Rhea: It's nice. Somebody thinks you look like Stevie Wonder on steroids, but I like it.
Huntington: Fuck you.
Ross Rhea: Ooh! Look at that face pussy that rookie gave you. Come on.
Question: In the game where Doug Glatt makes a dive and the puck hits him in the face. Around that time we see someone step on his ankle with their skate which would have caused some pain, but we see after the game in some pub, Glatt walking around normally. Even with major painkillers, shouldn't he still be limping?
Chosen answer: Not necessarily. It would depend on the level of the injury and how much time had passed. It may be that it initially hurt a lot, but after treatment, being wrapped, and prescribed pain killers he could walk fairly normally.
