Why not a film about the Miracle on Ice, or the Montreal Canadians vs Soviets game? Or the 1972 Summit Series, or a biopic on Rocket Richard, Gordie Howe, Eddie Shore, or Bobby Orr?
There's so much more material available.
Plus.... Philly.

Glad hockey movies are getting made again, but between this year's Goon, the upcoming "Broad Street Bullies", and Kevin Smith's "Hit Somebody", I feel like... somebody should be focusing on the skilled players, not just the violence of the sport. It's such a great game and it already has such a poor representation.EXCLUSIVE: Rob Zombie will write, direct and produce Broad Street Bullies, a film about the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team that evolved from a cellar-dwelling expansion team into a team that racked up victories and penalty minutes in equal measure during the 1970s.
