Corrected entry: In the second-to-last game of the season, Xavier Laflamme gets a five minute major penalty, and goes to the penalty box. In real life, Laflamme would have been ejected from the game and another player would serve the penalty for him.

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.
Eva: I did it. I broke up with him.
Doug Glatt: Holy shit.
Eva: I don't even know what the fuck I'm.
Doug Glatt: Hey, come on. From what I saw from him he seemed like a really nice guy.
Eva: I'm just not in love with him.
Doug Glatt: You're not?
Eva: No. You. You make me want to stop sleeping with a bunch of guys.
Doug Glatt: That's the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me.
Question: In the game where Doug Glatt makes a dive and the puck hits him in the face. Around that time we see someone step on his ankle with their skate which would have caused some pain, but we see after the game in some pub, Glatt walking around normally. Even with major painkillers, shouldn't he still be limping?
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.

Correction: A five minute major penalty in hockey doesn't mean a player is ejected from the game.
