- The son’s lack of concern for his missing sister is questioned, with jokes about future psychological damage.
- Hallmark repeatedly failing to kill McCord before talking is criticized.
- Teammates failing to notice that McCord has replaced their goalie is questioned.
- The unattended sick goalie’s fate and the time needed to exchange equipment remain questions.
- Booth taking the daughter while escaping is questioned as needless added risk.
- The young daughter hanging on and pulling herself up over a fatal drop is considered physically and emotionally implausible.
