"Good tv movie i remember seeing about 10 years ago along with "Net Worth." Good to see that it was done by arguably the best canadian director around today, Atom Egoyan. Love the way the chapters work and how the fathers story intertwines into brian's (kinda like memento with the normal scenes and then lenny b&w on the phone in his room). also liked how the old classic NHL footage was mixed in (especially for the very last frames). dont know how accurate it was but ive been to ft. st. james and like most small canadian towns, it takes pride in its successful hockey players..."

Brian's first career goal was indeed vs Detroit. Spencer scored late in the third period of a 13-0 drubbing of the Red Wings on January 2, 1971, less than one month following the tragic death of his father Roy.
