Brutality of the game


How long can a person last doing what Sean William Scott's character did? I can't imagine the human body being able to take that kind of punishment on a regular basis for however long the average hockey player's career lasts. I'm no physician but I'm thinking that he'd be looking at mental issues after a couple of years.

you are correct sir. Thats why the names are ficticious cause some characters are based on couple of people. I guess it went a little bit over the top when Glatt managed to KO Rhea because that thing didnt really happenned, neither did Smith twist his ankle or got KO'd by Bialowas (still receiving similar number of direct punches). But still Smith was more of an endurance man while Bialowas was the crazy one.
