Continuity mistake: None of the games in Goon were played in Manitoba, but every rink has Manitoba Liquor Commission advertising on the boards. In the game played in Quebec the advertising on the boards disappears in the zoomed out camera shots and you can see the MTS Centre logo on the scoreboard.
Continuity mistake: When Doug is suiting up for his first game for the Highlanders, the whole team is putting on their road (white) hockey socks, but after Xavier Laflamme enters the room, the whole team is wearing their purple (home) socks.
Continuity mistake: In the first game Doug plays for the Highlanders, after the opposing team scores after an implied lengthy time, there is a shot of the scoreboard. The only problem is, the scoreboard is shown to be counting down from the very beginning of the game.
Continuity mistake: When Doug stops the puck with his face he shoots out a mouthful of blood and his bottom lip is fine. In the next shot his lip is split in half.
Chosen answer: Not necessarily. It would depend on the level of the injury and how much time had passed. It may be that it initially hurt a lot, but after treatment, being wrapped, and prescribed pain killers he could walk fairly normally.
