To be completely honest, the movie only has two of the Carlson brothers. The third, jack, was playing for the Edmonton Oilers at the time so they had a teammate, Dave hansen, come along to play the third Hanson brother.

Yes, the jets and the days of Don hall and Dick Roberge. Always great games against the New Haven Blades ...at the New Haven Arena.

Jack Carlson was in the WHA playoffs with Edmonton at the time of the movie…not the NHL.

They should do are remake of it.

[@billbeliakoff5589]

I think it's a classic, and remakes of classics shouldn't be allowed.
