[edit] Synopsis
When Principal Skinner calls all the students down for an assembly to tell them what subjects they are failing, Lisa discovers to her horror that she is flunking gym class. In order to pass, she must join an outside of school sports program. Lisa tries basketball and volleyball but finds that she is no good at either. One day, the Simpsons go to see Bart play ice hockey for his team, the defending champions, Mighty Pigs, coached by Chief Wiggum. In an angry rage after the match, Bart begins shooting pieces of garbage at Lisa with his stick, which she successfully fends off. Apu, the coach of the Kwik-E-Mart Gougers, notices that she’s a natural at hockey and instantly makes her goalie for his team. Lisa soon becomes the star player, leading them to their best season ever, and gets all the attention. When bullies at school beat Bart up, she saves him and he really begins to resent her. The sibling rivalry between Bart and Lisa continues to increase, not helped by Homer, the hyper-competitive dad. Marge tries without success to stop the feuding and resolve their conflicts by reminding them that they are not in competition. Things get complicated when the Gougers face off against the Mighty Pigs. Years of sibling rivalry come out on the ice, but just as Bart is supposed to slap a penalty shot into the goal, they both throw aside their equipment and the match is tied. Bart and Lisa realize that their loyalty to each other is stronger than their loyalty to their teams.Marge feels proud of them, while a sobbing Homer declares he hates both of them and decides to choose Maggie as his favorite. The residents of Springfield, not satisfied with this revelation, riot, tearing the stadium to pieces.
[edit] Trivia
- Lou and Eddie sit behind Marge and Homer in the "Lisa vs. Bart" game, although, Eddie has a different hair styling.
- During Bart's penalty shot, the clock counts down which is not supposed to happen (the clock should remain stopped).
- Lisa's notice that she is failing gym contains the word "WARNING:" followed by strings of letters which do not form valid words in the English Language such as "Tsnhoji", "Namreb", "Toi", "Easlnpxit", "Alne", "Saeonarf" and "Trauts". "Parents [sic] Signature" on the form should contain an apostrophe.

Snake: Sorry, pig. We can't make that promise.
Chief Wiggum: Alright, alright, I'll sweeten the deal. You can see the game, you don't have to come back, but you have to promise not to commit any more crimes, okay?
Snake: No.
Chief Wiggum: I'll take that as a yes. (opens jail cells, prisoners run out)
Prisoners: Alright! We're free! - Skinner: (on PA) Attention students, please make your way for an assembly at the Butthead Memorial Auditorium. (Off PA) I wish we hadn't let the students name that one.
