Junior center Harry Schwefel lit the lamp once against Brown's star netminder Scott Stirling at 9:03 in the first period, netting a power-play goal in the top right shelf on a pass from Steve Moore...
That may be so, but what got them into the theaters was something different. The film's primary backer is Crouch's father Paul, CEO and star (with his bounteously bouffanted wife Jan) of the Trinity Broadcasting Network. TBN is actually not a "little Christian channel" but a giant in the sometimes overlooked field of televangelism.

This film needs no savior, but it still owes a lot of its moving power to its star, Nicolas Cage, who finally takes a break' from all of Joel Bruckheimer's testosterone flicks and returns to an actor's movie, one that can showcase his intensity and expressive range. Cage has found the perfect vehicle to display his talent as another less glorious, but equally moving, crucified creature...
