I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

the article lacks in a few things. were the actors doubled on ice by professional ice hockey players? also there are goofs probably in the film, i think in 1980 there were no signatures on the jerseys yet, at least at olympia.--Severino (talk) 12:11, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

From what I've read and heard (in the DVD commentaries), Bill Ranford doubled for Eddie Cahill (Jim Craig) on the ice most of the time. However, the other hockey players were chosen specifically for their skating skills (not so much for their acting skills) and did their own work on the ice.

As for goofs (errors in historical facts), of course there are, some deliberate, some not. An example of a deliberate alteration would be during the second period of the game against the Russians when the Russians score and Craig is down on the ice and it is a possibility that he is injured and will be pulled from the game. Both things really happened in the second period but not at the same time. The director, Gavin O'Connor, said in the DVD commentary that he put the two incidents together because he wanted them both in the film and was afraid if he separated them, the film editor, John Gilroy, would cut the part of Craig being down. O'Connor fudged fact for a better scene.

When you talk about the signatures on the jerseys I assume you mean the players' names on the back. I've seen photos from the 1980 game. Their names are on the back. 76.254.22.233 (talk) 06:19, 19 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, mate.--Severino (talk) 22:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The game against the Soviets was not a "semi-final" as the medal round was on a pool basis. I have removed references to semi-final — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.134.52.72 (talk) 20:06, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
