Everything single thing about the ‘Swingers’ NHL ’94 scene was perfect

1. During this time with no sports, you’re going to see lists and bracket tournaments to determine the greatest sports movie of all time (even though every website and blog has done this a million times already).

The usual cast of characters will be debated: Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Hoosiers, blah, blah, blah.

However, one of, if not the greatest, sports scenes in movie history came in a non-sports movie: Swingers.

I recently watched the 1996 classic during a quarantined Saturday afternoon and was reminded of how perfect the NHL ’94 scene was from start to finish. Allow me to break all the ways that this scene beautifully captured the way a game between two friends would go down in real life: 

• Friends arguing over which team they chose to play with. This always happened when you played NHL ’94
