Show Notes Thanks again to Sam Weisman. He's one of the greats. By the way, Sam has a great IMDB photo: Photo by Avnet/Kerner Productions We talked with D2 director of photography Mark Irwin, who got his start in porn, in Episode 65. Is this line change real or part of the re-shoots? The Amazon click-through purchase of the week: A Voice from Old New York: A Memoir of My Youth by Louis Auchincloss.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin are back to break down another minute. This time they take a look at the good times during the Blake Bears. How the hell did Luis Mendoza jump over the net? Why is Fulton flexing on dudes away from the play? Answers to those questions and many more. Show Notes Keep clicking through that Amazon link. Great crowd at this JV game. Banks with the classic 90s cut: Here is the full Melrose Place Wikipedia entry. Luis Mendoza's stride: The goalie watching Luis instead of the puck: Is Vladmir Putin the greatest hockey player in the world? 14:7 - Команда Путина и Шойгу победила в гала-матче Ночной хоккейной лиги команду Звезд лиги pic.twitter.com/DlxxxuFBzm— Дмитрий Смирнов (@dimsmirnov175) May 10, 2019 Full highlight video, including him falling on his face when he's waving to the crowd: The kid in the blue sweat jacket bobbing his head too hard: Look in the background and you'll find Fulton checking two people way away from the puck: Orion pulls Julie The Cat after Blake's seventh goal.

This time, Mike, Tommy and Kevin wander off the pond and straight into another podcast. Be Kind and Rewind joined forces with The Quack Attack to talk about weird moments in the Original Adam Banks, weird Mighty Ducks facts, and the wild lives some of the Mighty Ducks are leading. Show Notes It's insane that's we've been doing these stupid podcasts for five years. Our greatest moments: Dwayne Robertson roping You lost it for yourself: Something about a shrinking sphincter: The Norwegian Traditional touching of the ice: We talked about Mighty Ducks 4 in Episode 100. According to Variety, 'The Sandlot' series is coming to Disney+. It will feature a whole new cast, will be set in 1984, and will focus on the children of the original characters.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin return and waste no time using a cheap gimmick to try to get some listens. In this episode they take the Mighty Ducks to the world of Game of Thrones. Who fits in where? Who is dead? Will Julie "The Cat" Gaffney win this just like she wins the rest of our hypothetical contests? Show Notes The link to the trivia pentathlon quiz. The high score right now is 6 out 10, which has been accomplished by multiple people. Final week to get it in. Entries are due by April 24, 2019. Kevin running into a random women wearing a Mighty Ducks jersey in Minneapolis: Lake Calhoun, now called Bde Maka Ska, is the largest lake in Minnesota. There is a park around it. That's nice. Here is Calhoun Lake on the map. If we take that and graft it on Hans' map: It looks like we're looking at either District 6, which would be Hawks territory, or District 5, depending on what side of the lake Kevin's AirBnB was on. In fact, Lake Calhoun is probably the lake Hans refers to when he says "the lake is now the boundary." Bombay's address (450 N. Hennepin Ave.) is northeast of the lake, while Edina is southwest. This is what Tommy is referring to regarding the AAF.

Kevin is still wandering around the streets of Minneapolis in sadness after Texas Tech's loss in the NCAA national championship game and he has our microphones in his condo, so we've got a rebroadcast this week: the first appearance by our great friend Jack White who dished on a little bit of everything. Also Kevin plz come home. Show notes: Paul Michael Glaser in all his glory: Eric Strobel, for those who aren't familiar with him. The original Adam Banks fired a puck at his chest. Touch and Go is a story about an ice hockey star who befriends a troubled kid and his mother after the kid's gang tried to rob him.

In their first ever road trip audio diaries, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin take a road trip to "rural" (not really) Allen, Texas.

Matt Doherty rejoins the podcast after a two-year hiatus. He gives a first-hand account of the recent Mighty Ducks reunion in Anaheim, before talking about his album, which is actually good and not just an actor trying to be a musician.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin tackle another Mighty Ducks minute. This time it's a breakdown of Gordon Bombay's speech after the U.S.A.'s 12-1 loss to Iceland. Bombay gets challenged by a bunch of 12-year-olds and claps back. Was that the right move? Show Notes Spring is coming. Get your gear from The Quack Attack shop now.

In the aftermath of the Mighty Ducks' mini reunion, Mike, Tommy and Kevin trace the influx of Ducks stuff in pop culture. Was this inevitable or did have we just witnessed an incredible confluence of events? Also, how much credit should we take for it? Show Notes (Editor's note: Our recording software skipped like four seconds at the beginning when we were introducing Kevin's Kin Token disaster. You can follow his slow-motion disaster in real time here.) According to their Wikipedia, Wheeling's ECHL team is named the Nailers because of the city's long history of nail manufacturing.

(Original Air Date: 4/19/2018) Show Notes Thanks to Scott Whyte for being a true scholar and a gentleman. Follow him on Twitter and on Instagram and his YouTube channel. Here's his IMDB.

I recorded it on my phone at 6:30 a.m. The #QuackQuestion of the year nominees (poll is below): Ben Young (with assists from Andy Tattersall and Kristian Garcia): (To Scott Whyte) Why did you decide to stop on the shootout and do a slapshot? (And what was the point of doing a triple deke if you were got to stop and let the goalie reset? And how come it took so long for everyone to know whether or not it went in?) -- Episode 157 @MariaPianelli: (To Adam F. Goldberg) If you could cast one of the Ducks to be in The Goldbergs, who would it be, who would they play, and why? -- Episode 165 @AirLemaire: Assuming that the Ducks beat the Varsity team in the middle of the season in D3, what happens to the Varsity team for the rest of the year? Does their championship streak comes to an end? Is it possible to recover from that loss? -- Episode 167 @StevieYanks: Who was more vital to their team's success: Adam Banks, Juan Morales, The Icebox or Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez -- Episode 174 @prayformilan: Die Hard aficionados strongly believe that the film is a Christmas movie, and Steven E. de Souza (one of the writers) confirmed this. Shouldn’t Quackalytes fight for Mighty Ducks to be considered a Christmas film as well? -- Episode 180 (Editor's Note: You can vote once per hour.)

When Bombay asked him he said people talk don't mean nothing. So did he have offers or not? – Episode 157 @Derickbucsnp: Why was Julie the cat ejected against Iceland and Sandersen was not? – Episode 159 Stevie Yanks: What did Bombay choose: breath, blood, or urine? – Episode 164 Quack Question Leaderboard

Mike, Tommy and Kevin, go back through the Mighty Ducks films -- mostly D1 -- and break it down through Adam Banks' eyes. In the process they realize what a lonely life Banks leads as his new team doesn't accept him and his old team turns on him. Show Notes To be clear: Mike FORGOT an undershirt at Tommy's wedding. He didn't just choose not to wear it. The floss dance has its own Wikipedia page. What a time we live in. Adam Banks, bored after beating the Mighty Ducks, and maybe a little scared of Reilly. The Hawks beat District 5: We talked about why the Hawks didn't play the Mighty Ducks in the first round in Episode 10. Here is the table we came up with based on district location: It was actually Tommy Duncan who gives a weird face as he walks out on Adam Banks: Thanks to Erik for the #QuackQuestion via email: Dear Mike, Tommy, and Kevin, First, congratulations and best wishes to Mike on your marriage! Here is my Quack Question for you... Why does Bombay keep popping aspirins at the first District 5 game against the Hawks in D1? Does he have a headache from all the stress of dealing with kids and having to play against Riley? Or is he paranoid about having a heart attack like the previous District 5 coach? Best Regards, Erik (with a K) Bombay popping aspirin: Gear up for fall at The Quack Attack Shop. Recapping Adam Banks' journey in D1 -He plays with his friends on the Hawks and he dominates. -A weird old guy he's barely heard of rips him away from his friends because the old guy wants Banks to play for his team. The old guy apparently is a former Hawks star. As the adults try to work this out, Banks' dad and coach rip this old guy mercilessly. -In the name of just playing hockey, Banks relents and figures he might be able to learn something from this former star. His friends immediately turn on him. At the same time, his new teammates don't accept him. -Once he finally gets most of his new team to accept him, he gets hurt and misses the rest of the biggest game of his career to that point. After he is injured and carried off the ice, his new teammates immediately forget about him and there is no talk of him at all the rest of the night.

(Editor's note: We had a bit of trouble with the audio. First, Mike didn't have Michael T. Ryan's line recording, so you miss the first bit of what he says. Michael says he has a degree in music education from Oklahoma State. He went out to California to be a high school band director. The audio picks up from there. You miss about 20 seconds of Michael talking. Also, Michael's line cuts out a couple times. Bear with it. He comes back quickly each time.) Michael T. Ryan, supervising music editor for all three Mighty Ducks films, joins the show and talks about how he ended up there. He explains what parts he's particularly proud of and the gift he got for being one of the few to survive all three films. Show Notes Here is Michael T. Ryan's IMDB. Disney snuck a nice Queen song in there at the end of D2: Here is the end of the original Mighty Ducks, in which Queen's "We are the Champions" played instead of the big score suite that Steve Brill wanted: We talked with composer David Newman in Episode 61. This is the great score that Michael alluded to: Here are some of Michael's favorite pieces of work that aren't an obvious: 101 Dalmatians. A sampling: Others: Holy Man, Source Code, Sherlock Gnomes. Here is the opening score for Source Code: Sneaky Pete is a good show. It has a 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Thanks to @bberg19 for the #QuackQuestion: The "We Will Quack You" sequence in D2 has kind of weird audio, almost like you realized how lame it was and tried to bury the chant behind the Queen song. Is that how it actually went down? — Bryan (@bberg19) October 2, 2018 Here is the scene Brian describes in his question: We Will Quack You up on the electronic board: The musical moments for each new player that Michael established: Here is work on SEAL TEAM on CBS as well as in the kids movie Sherlock Gnomes. It's got a fun soundtrack.

In honor of Mike's wedding, the group takes a look at the most likely Mighty Ducks wedding: the union of Connie Moreau and Guy Germaine. Which Ducks stand up in the wedding? Who makes a speech? Who don't Connie and Guy invite and who crashes it anyway? Show Notes Make fun of Kevin's terrible investment, and monitor it in real time. Our best (and possibly most-recent?) Ducks wide-hypothetical came in Episode 79: What happened at the Mighty Ducks prom? Is this Guy's main crew? The Mighty Ducks in Guy Germaine and Connie Moreau's Wedding Party: Guy Germaine: Groom Connie Moreau: Bride Gordon Bombay: Officiant Jesse Hall: Best man Charlie Conway: Groomsmen Dave/Les Averman: Groomsmen and he gives an excellent toast Julie Gaffney: Bridesmaid Terry Hall: Usher Other Ducks and what they do at Connie Moreau and Guy Germaine's Wedding: Tammy Duncan: She is on the border line of the invite list, but attends as a result of being Terry's date. Tommy Duncan : He gets a pity invite due to Tammy and attends. Adam Banks: Guy and Connie invite him mostly because he's famous. He ends up attending but leaves early. Adam Banks' parents: They send a nice gift instead of actually attending Dwayne Robertson - He attends and he gives a delightful little speech. Greg Goldberg - He and his parents are invited. They all not only go, but cater the event. They give Connie and Guy a great deal on the food. Dean Portman - Connie vetoes his invite, but he learns about it from somebody else -- probably Fulton -- and crashes the wedding. Luis Mendoza - The couple doesn't invite him due to a possible fling he and Connie had, but he ends up going anyway as the date of a bridesmaid. Fulton Reed - He attends and is a model guest. Russ Tyler - He attends. Everybody loves that guy. Ken Wu - Despite receiving an invite, he doesn't plan on going, but then he learns Portman's plans. He and Portman end up crashing it together. Jan - He is invited but is too old to go Hans - Several of the Ducks honor him with a ceremonial touching of the dance floor. A Norwegian tradition. Coach Orion - He attends. Gunner Stahl - He is invited and he's playing in Canada, so he makes it. Scooter - He attends as Julie Gaffney's date. Dave Karp - He is not invited and therefore does not attend. Peter Mark - He is not invited and therefore does not attend. For those paying attention the Ducks that go to rodeo drive are as follows: Greg Goldberg, Dwayne Robertson, Les/Dave Averman, Jesse Hall.

Mike and Tommy -- Kevin is gone -- tackle another minute from the Mighty Ducks movies. This time it's Gordon Bombay telling Ducksworth, Reilly and Phil Banks about the time his dad gave him a convoluted meaning to the word "team." Show Notes ONE MORE DAY FOR THE SALE IN THE SHOP. Get your gear now. Kevin is on a trip to the East Coast. He should be back on September 16. Until then Tommy and Mike are going solo. Gordon Bombay's facial expressions after he's is told that the peewee hockey league needs him to drop his protest for the whole Adam Banks situation is settled: In Episode 1, we talked about whether Gordon Bombay learned anything at all. Here's what Ducksworth says about Banks before the minute: "Actually Phil is one of my oldest friends." He says nothing about Jack Reilly, which fits with our theory that Ducksworth and Banks were drinking well before this meeting took place. Reilly, still with his coat on, appears to have just walked in. Bombay's wardrobe: As you can see, he's going with the white T-shirt, hoodie, jacket-with-leather sleeves combo. Does it work for him? What say you? Thanks to @Newbjob for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod Why did Karp change his identity to Gerry Garner? #quackquestion — NewbJob (@NewbJob) August 26, 2018 While we talk about Gerry Garner (Karp) and Josh Burnbalm (possibly Goldberg?) we don't really discuss the other player making the transition from the Mighty Ducks movies to Heavyweights: Russ Tyler. He is named Roy in Heavyweights, so maybe they just got his name wrong on the first day and he never bothered to correct them.

In a continuation from last episode, Mike, Tommy and Kevin discuss what the Mighty Ducks movie doesn't show: the fallout from the varsity losing. Does Riley ever recover? What happens to Cole and Scooter? Is the varsity coach on his way out after an embarrassing loss? Show Notes Thanks to Bryan, David, Joyce and Luke for the donations. Previous times we've seen the varsity team struggle: Orion and the varsity coach seem to have no hard feelings: Cole is NOT an alternate captain: There are three Sonics in Minneapolis alone. Thanks to @StevieYanks for the #QuackQuestion: Genius has a 51 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Brink! has a 76. Johnny Tsunami has a 62 percent. The girl from Brink! that Kevin said could play hockey is named Gabriella. The villain in Brink! is named Val. Look at those X-Blades uniforms:

Mike, Tommy and Kevin return from a two-week break to talk about t-shirts, bachelor parties and Shaun Weiss' legal troubles before diving into the real topic: Who was in the wrong in the Luis Mendoza, Mindy, Riley love triangle in D3? Show Notes The Bachelor Party fund is here. Follow Kevin's ongoing Kin Token investment. Buy your "Make America Quack Again" shirt. It's a great conversation piece. Keep clicking through the Amazon link. According to the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, pretty much every hawk is a protected bird. Shaun Weiss was on Episodes 53 and 62. The details from Shaun Weiss' recent troubles via TMZ: his arrest and his "downward spiral" Here is the GoFundMe set up for Shaun. A side-by-side of Shaun Weiss and Hector Salamanca. Are they making the same face. The most popular Better Call Saul podcast is the "Better Call Saul Insider Podcast". Who was in the wrong here?

Mike, Tommy and Kevin start talking about the varsity team but quickly delve into the politics at Eden Hall. How much cheating was going on during Eden Hall's 10-year state championship run? Should the Ducks and Eden Hall parted ways? Show Notes Be sure to check out the newest feature on our site: Is Kevin a millionaire yet? The Carmel High School girls swim team has won 32 state championships in a row. Here more info on IMG Academy. The board reluctantly voting the Mighty Ducks back in: We talked about whether the prank war crossed the line with the varsity in Episode 56. Is this an offense worth of expulsion? Thanks to @AirLemaire for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod assuming that The ducks beat the Varsity team in the middle of the season in D3, what happens to the varsity team for the rest of the year? Does their championship streak comes to an end? Is it possible to recover from that loss? #quackquestion — bobby lemaire (@AirLemaire) April 23, 2018 Major Payne with a cool 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Audience score is 68 percent though. It's a classic.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin return to the spin-off well. This time they take Adam F. Goldberg's advice on what the Mighty Ducks TV series would have to be to gain any traction and come up with a realistic series. Disney can just send them a check. Show Notes Free shipping in the shop! Promocode: FREESHIP718 If you haven't listened to the Adam F. Goldberg pod, listen to it now. We have a new page: Is Kevin a millionaire yet?

'The Goldbergs' creator Adam F. Goldberg talks about how he cornered Steve Brill at Christmas party and pitched him D4 and how that sort of set the stage for the in-development TV show. He goes deep on The Goonies vs. the Mighty Ducks in a fight. Show Notes Thanks to Adam for coming on. Watch The Goldbergs and follow him on Twitter. Also, a special Duck call to Adam's assistant Hank, who was the unsung MVP of this episode. Here is Adam F. Goldberg's episode on ID1OT with Chris Hardwick.

In honor of Kevin's trip to the dentist and the Iceland soccer manager actually being a dentist, Mike, Tommy and Kevin examine possible nicknames for the Mighty Ducks based on their profession. Plus, they answer the question: blood, breath, or urine? Show Notes The guy who thinks Bitcoin will get to 250,000 by 2022 is Tim Draper a venture capital billionaire. Bitcoin price as of this show is $6,134. That's a long way to go to $200,000 in four years. Heimir "The Dentist" Hallgrimsson is a legend.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin tackle another Mighty Ducks Minute. This time it's the scene in the alley where the Ducks find the Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions and have a run-in with the Hawks. Did the Hawks insults cross the line? How tall is Fulton? Show Notes The Hawks outfits: This is the is the cover featuring Ashley Montana (or Ashley Richardson). It came out in February 1991. Fulton towering over McGill and Larson: Jesse Hall's clothing: Karp's hat. I can't really make out what any of the pins are: What is Peter Mark saying? Thanks to @cjgjmg for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod did Fulton start the rumor of having a football scholarship so people would get off his back about playing hockey. When Bombay asked him he said people talk don't mean nothing. So did he have offers or not #quackquestion — Chris Garland (@cjgjmg) January 11, 2018 @cjgjmg had one other #QuackQuestion make the air. It came in Episode 80 and was apropos: What Ducks mother was busy with the mailman and what was he delivering? The Hey Arnold episode is "Gerald's Secret". It starts at 11:56 in this video.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin are back together once again. They hear about Kevin's exploits in Japan and how he almost became a trillionaire before discussing the footage of a young Gordon Bombay. Was it from a documentary? Was it a home movie? Show Notes If you missed it last week: Quackolyte Sean created a Mighty Ducks edition of NHL 94 Mighty Ducks.

Yes, Mike is familiar with that building after all. Thanks to @AKD_56 for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod #QuackQuestion With Gordon Bombay as Director of Player Personell for the Junior Goodwill Games you think he would try to help get Coach Reilly a job to rebuild his image? — AKD_56 (@AKD_56) April 29, 2018 This the line Bombay says to Reilly: "To think I wasted all those years worrying about what you thought.

With Tommy and Kevin "honoring America", Mike rides solo for the first time in podcast history. With the help of the Quackolytes, Mike pinpoints exactly which North Stars game the Mighty Ducks went to and answers a few Quack Questions. Show Notes Thanks again to Quackolyte Sean for his creation of NHL 94 Mighty Ducks edition. Step by step instructions: Download the Gens Emulator. Download Sean's Mighty Ducks version on NHL 94. This thread then explains how to play online. (You'll need to download some more stuff.) After you've done all that: message us on Twitter or on Facebook or email us so we can try to figure this out together. Mike mispoke. It was Mighty Ducks Minute No. 76, not 123. That minute came in EPISODE 123. Thanks to @brandonmbender for figuring out the Whalers game. Here are all the details you'd ever want to know about the game. Charlie and Bombay dancing like weirdos at the game: On second glance, the cutaway on Mike Modano's goal looks exactly like Charlie's penalty shot, not Bombay's. Here is the net on Modano's shot. And the net on Charlie's shot. Same net and backgrounds, different corners. Overtime's were still five minutes back in 1992. Thanks to @Stevieyanks for the #QuackQuestion. This is Marcus Dupree. Thanks to @AbsoluteGunk for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod Who would you rather have on a hockey team The Bash Brothers or The Hanson Brothers from Slap Shot? #TheQuackQuestion — AbsoluteGunk (@AbsoluteGunk) May 28, 2018 The Hanson brothers were not real people. They were based off the Carlson brothers, who were indeed real.

With Kevin still gone, actress Susan Chambers steps in as a replacement. Susan was a stand-in for Kathryn Erbe in D2. She talks about what that actually entailed, what she took from it, rejecting Emilio Estevez, and weird commercials she has been in. Show Notes Thanks to Susan for coming on. You can get more info on her at see her reel -- including the weird commercials -- at susanchambersactress.com. Also, here is her IMDB. Susan Chambers: Kathryn Erbe: Here is the trailer for In the Name of God: Here is How to Be a Latin Lover. The teenage movie Susan was thinking of that had Jesse Metcalfe was John Tucker Must Die.

With Kevin in Japan, Mike and Tommy take a look at another Mighty Ducks minute. This time it's the staredown between the Hawks and the Ducks before the state championship game. Who has the best mean mug? Hair? Also, did Goldberg ever want to play hockey? Show Notes Why are they standing side-by-side? (Also, the NH stands for New Hope. It is this rink on Google Maps.) Karp's "Do something face": What is Terry mouthing? Jesse and Banks: Goldberg: Here is probably the best shot of the crowd. Full in some pockets, but no one behind the net: We talked with Casey Garven in Episode 49. Larson's look: Here's the video from the Minnesota high school hockey state championship all-hair team: Conway's head of hair: Bombay's look to Coach Reilly: The magazine was "Let's Play Hockey." Here's a summary of William Wilson by Edgar Allen Poe. Thanks to @derickoversell for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod you may have gotten to this in a show.

We're switching it up this week and handing the reins over to NPR's Only A Game Podcast. Producer Martin Kessler interviewed Mike, Tommy, and Kevin for his story on how Iceland became the D2 villain. In this episode we play Martin's entire story. Show Notes Thanks to Only A Game, especially Martin, for letting us be a small piece of the story. Follow only a game on Twitter: @OnlyAGameNPR, and on the Facebook page. Also give our man Martin a follow at @MartinKessler91. The infamous beach ball crushing: We talked with some of the other people interview. Scott Whyte was on last week,Episode 157. We talked with Jordan Kerner in Episode 55, and Steve Brill in Episode 63 and Episode 64.
Thu, April 19, 2018
Scott Whyte joins the podcast to talke about how he went from a Slim Jim commercial with Macho Man Randy Savage to playing both Gunnar Stahl and Scooter the goalie. He explains learning an Icelandic accent, what he said to Jesse Hall, how he almost added "Crazy Dave" the comic relief guy to his roles in D3 and much, much more. Show Notes Thanks to Scott Whyte for being a true scholar and a gentleman. Follow him on Twitter and on Instagram and his YouTube channel. Here's his IMDB. You've definitely heard his voice without realizing it. Wayne Gretzky came to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988. Here is Scott in the Slim Jim commericial. Check out those bangs: Here he is in the Pop Tarts commerical. "Cool things happen in the morning with the warm taste of Kellog's Pop Tarts": Here is Macho Man getting bitten by Jake The Snake Roberts' snake: We talked with Jordan Kerner in Episode 55. Scott Whyte, the original Eddie Murphy: Here is "You lost it for yourself" and "Let's go shake their hands." Notice the difference in his dialect.

Mike and Kevin tackle the D3 novelization while Tommy celebrates his anniversary (allegedly). In the book they meet 'Gary Goldberg', find Charlie to be even worse than before, and ponder if anything was going on between Mendoza and Julie 'The Cat' Gaffney. Show Notes If you missed our interview with Ryan Wotherspoon, listen to it here. Our D1 novelization came in Episode 152. D2 came in Episode 153. You can read all the novelizations at queertet.net. No junior varsity championship banners up there: The description of the protest from the novel: "They came upon a group of students marching in a small circle and carrying signs and chanting. One of the signs showed an Indian warrior with a red circle and slash through it." It doesn't appear that the woman Luis tried to woo at the protest was Linda Chavez. UPDATE: Quackolye Keri, who actually has the book said it was indeed Linda that Luis hit on. The novel apparently came with screen caps, in which Linda is holding the sign. Charlie and Linda Chavez: Goldberg's plate: Duck call to the real Blake Bears hockey team. Hans dropping the C's on Charlie. Fortunately in the documentary he didn't have to spell it out as much. Thanks to @chefwayneface for the #QuackQuestion: My question, why was it so dark in the Eden Hall Arena? You'd think a fancy prep school could afford proper lighting for their rink. — chefwayneface (@chefwayneface) April 6, 2018 We talked with Rob Lieberman in Episode 137. The lights in the Eden Hall arena apparently were still warming up for the showdown: We did not account for the weird shadows during the Blake Bears game. Although it was bright at times during that game too, so *shrug emoji*.

Ryan Wotherspoon, also known as "Excited fan No. 8" (or No. 10, or No. 1), joins the pod to talk about life as an extra during Minnesota's film explosion. He dishes on Emilio Estevez's memory, sitting with dummies, Arnold Schwarzenegger cursing at him, and more. Show Notes Here is Ryan's IMDB. Check out his work at Speed Bump Intros. He's the male vocalist on the 80's, Country, and Oldies jingles on the site. This is him singing. He's effing good: Jingle All the Way with a 16 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Overnight Delivery is surprisingly higher: 43 percent. Our most Sinbad-centric episode was Episode 116. Assuming D3 was filmed in 1995 (it was released in 1996), Michael Cudlitz ("Cole") was 31 during the filming of the movie. Who can spot Ryan? Here is Ryan making out with the weird girl in Overnight Delivery. Click the thumbnail and you can see her thrust herself upon Ryan: Thanks to @bberg19 for the #QuackQuestion: Did he know the plot for D3 before signing on, and was he as excited of a fan when he found out he'd be watching a JV-varsity showdown? Also, assuming he was a fan of the series, what would he have wanted D3 to be about? — Bryan (@bberg19) March 31, 2018 The biggest psychopath according to the guy who studied psychopaths: Edmund Kemper.

On Tuesday, Deadspin released a blasphemous video that called the Mighty Ducks "mediocre." Mike, Tommy, and Kevin examine the break down the video point by point, to show just how off the mark the video is. Show Notes Here is the link the Deadspin review of the Mighty Ducks. There are multiple podcasts about The Simpsons out there, including The Simpsons Show , Talking Simpsons, and Four Finger Discount. The Simpsons are on season No. 29. Duck call to Hannah's husband for having the movie and possibly this Mighty Ducks jersey: Listen to our discussion of Bombay in Episode 1. This is the entirety of Fulton's skating in the first game. Here's a primer on the Billy Donovan situation if you're unfamiliar. The Hard Ball trailer: Hannah wasn't happy with this resolution. It was clear Bombay was just trying to get some while keeping it casual. The Indian in the Cupboard has an impressive 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Thanks to @2015LigotChamp for the #QuackQuestion. Why didn't Charlie round up the Ducks who didn't play in D2 (Karp, Peter etc)? Did he know they were out or did he just not want them on the team? #quackquestion — Wheeler for Hart (@2015LigotChamp) February 5, 2018 How long was Bombay waiting at the Band Box?
Thu, March 15, 2018
Mike, Tommy, and Kevin talk way too long about young Gordon Bombay's cryptocurrency operation and Kevin's cratering investments before getting into the conclusion of the D2 novelization. Once they get there they discover a love triangle and a brutal crime. Show Notes Here is John Oliver going after Brock Pierce: An open letter on Medium from EOS mentioned that Brock Pierce was no longer with the company. Apparently Pierce was no longer with the company by the time Oliver's episode aired. Duck call to Kevin's Kin Tokens. Duck call to Emilio in the breakfast club: Is this Italian player, Gianni? Tibbles' quacking when the Ducks come out with their new uniforms. Is it because he's been fired from Hendrix Hockey? Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988. He played with them until 1996. With the Junior Goodwill Games coming in March 1994, he was a longtime member of the Kings at that point. He had not just been traded like Mike said. Swingers came out in 1996, but it does look like they are playing NHL 94. Thanks to @Damansara_Keith for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod Once you guys have reviewed the second novel, I want you to answer this #quackquestion: which take on the story is better? The documentary or the novel? — Keith Leong (@Damansara_Keith) March 9, 2018

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin are back discussing the Mighty Ducks novelizations. The D2 version is so good it had to be split into two different podcasts. In part one they discover a feud over Connie between Guy Germaine and Luis Mendoza. Elsewhere Portman loses his Nirvana tape. Show Notes Go to the shop. Use SHIP18 for free shipping. We talked about the novelization of D1 in Episode 151. Did Bombay pass out from his knee injury? Hans' has removed Jan's name from the sport shop: Winnipeg has a population of 705,000 people according to Wikipedia, the smallest of any city with an NHL team. A sampling of other movies Jordan Horowitz has adapted into novels: Free Willy, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, Free Willy 2, Heavyweights Duck call to Jesse and Brendan for correctly identifying the book series Kevin was talking about last episode.

Thanks to @colinm82 for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod what was going in Minnesota in the 90s? Truly a breeding ground for unconventional coaching, tactics, and leadership. Gordon Bombay with the Ducks, Billy Haywood with the Twins. Did their success inspire a Jesse Ventura for Governor victory? #quackquestion — Colin (@colinm82) February 27, 2018 Little Big League came out in 1994.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin dive deep into the rarely talked about novelization of the Mighty Ducks. They learn a number of new background facts, spot some contradictions and question why author Jordan Horowitz hated Karp as much as they do. Show Notes If you haven't filled out the listener survey yet, you can fill it out here. As for the affiliate links, we've been approved by iTunes. Will work on getting Amazon. How it works: we provide our link and a small portion of the cost of what you buy is redirected back to us. It doesn't cost you any more money.

The Jordan Horowitz that wrote the Mighty Ducks novels is probably not same person who produced La La Land. Horowitz is 37 years old. He would've been 12 years old at the time the first novel came out. Here is a link to the official TOSS rule book. Bombay playing on the same pond he meets District 5 at in the first practice: The classic egg drill: According to this geocities-looking website, the cost of a dozen eggs in 1992 was $0.93. If the Ducks practiced a full hour and didn't get any better, disposing an estimated 10 eggs per minute, they ran through five dozen eggs. That's $4.65. Adjusting for inflation, Gordon Bombay spent at least $8.65 in today's dollars on that one drill. We talked to Casey Garven, who played Larson, in Episode 49. Mike couldn't find the series Kevin was talking about? Any Quackolytes have any ideas? The book Mike was thinking of is called Ice Magic by Matt Christopher. Thanks to Brendan for the #QuackQuestion: Ok when Bombay blows out his knee while playing for the Waves, they carefully take his helmet off and put a towel under his head. What's that about? They want to make him comfortable as he grimaces for an indefinite amount of time? Is he a soldier rapidly losing blood on the battlefield? Why not just skate him off the ice with a teammate supporting him on each side? I'm guessing the Waves players are sort of mourning the end of this uplifting comeback story? Bombay with the towel around his head: To be fair, a trainer does rush to Bombay's knee as well.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin tackle another Mighty Ducks minute. This time they look at the Hawks' attempt to foil the Ducks' roundup, how Fulton Reed assaulted three Hawks players at the same the time, and whether there was some product promotion hidden in D2. Show Notes Mighty Ducks quote of the day: "They won't know what hit them." Please click this link and fill out this survey Thanks again to Lesley Goldberg (@Snoodit) for answering our question. Kevin was wrong and right: It was NBC, not ABC, that originally had Friday Night Lights. But it was DirecTV that came and rescued the show due to a partnership deal with NBC. Game of Thrones is indeed supposed to come out in 2019. The plot to Wild Hogs, if you're unfamiliar. Aaron Schwartz was on Episode 94. Zeitgeist: "the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time." -- so not really the correct usage, but whatever. We did Minute 117 in Episode 118, although we called it Minute 116. How did Fulton even do this? McGill's earring: This scene appears to be filmed at Theodore Wirth Regional Park. Here's the billboard with Bombay standing behind the Duck Head billboard. Mike said it the building above was called "Burger Bank." It was obviously Band Box. That's embarrassing.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin convene for the first time since the biggest news story since Watergate broke: There is a Mighty Ducks TV series in the works. The crew shares what they know, reveals some rumors and discusses what they'd like to see out of the series. Show Notes Mighty Ducks quote of the week: "The Quack Attack is back, Jack!" Good work by Lesley Goldberg to break this story. Follow her on Twitter: @Snoodit. You can read the full Hollywood Reporter story here. Disney's SVOD service is tentatively set to debut in 2019. Wet Hot American Summer actually had a couple different things. There was "First Day of Camp", which was the series Kevin was referring to, and there was also a miniseries called "Ten years later." Both are on Netflix and both received positive reviews. Emilio Estevez wrote, directed and we'll say co-starred in his most recent venture, The Public. It is set to be released on January 31 and features Alec Baldwin, Christian Slater, Gabrielle Union, and others. It looks pretty good. Girl Meets World has an 88 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. We talked with Steve Brill in Episode 63 and Episode 64. We talked with Jordan Kerner in Episode 55. Logan has a 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. We cast Doris Roberts in a Lifetime movie about Ted Orion in Episode 134. Doris died in 2016. J.J.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin welcome in 2017 #QuackQuestion of the year winner Zach to talk about how he got so many votes so quickly, his Angels in the Outfield/Mighty Ducks crossover and life as a traveling salesman in Iowa. They then pass the torch and take on a #QuackQuestion. Show Notes Mighty Ducks quote of the day: “You’ve got the fast glove.” Thanks to Zach for joining the program. He won #QuackQuestion of the year with 72 percent of the vote. Zach's #QuackQuestion came during the Turkey Leg challenge in Episode 113. After the pod, Zach gave us an update on the egg counters: "I looked up our customers and the biggest packing machine they use is for 3,500 eggs per minute. That is from multiple barns but that’s the biggest we have done. We don’t sell packing machines but I believe there are some pretty big machines that can handle a lot more capacity." According to a 2015 article by the Associated Press, there are more roughly 200 goat farms in Iowa and goat milk had did $92.2 million in sales in the United States in 2012. A study cited in that article, done by Dairy Management, Inc., which promotes cattle dairy farmers state that goat milk accounted for 0.02 percent of milk consumption in 2014. Mickey's diner: According to IMDB, Goldberg's Deli is really Kramarczuk's Sausage Company: Mike has no further comment on Tommy as a boss. Thanks to @safjid6 for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod do you see the Vikings as being the Ducks this year? — Saajid Islam (@safjid6) January 16, 2018 For those unfamiliar, here is what happened with the Vikings this year.

In their first podcast of 2018, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down exactly what happened in OT of the 1973 Minnesota Peewee state championship game after Gordon Bombay missed his penalty shot. They also reveal the winner of 2017 #QuackQuestion of the Year. Show Notes The article by @joyceeng61 was Which TV Kevin had the best 2016? The Oscars are March 8. JAC Redford, from Episode 139, arranged and orchestrated Skyfall, which won the Oscar for best original song in 2013. Don't thing he technically gets credit for that though. The guy Tommy was thinking was David Newman, from Episode 61, who was nominated for Best Music, Original Musical or Comedy Score in 1998 for his work in Anastasia. The Skulls, which Kevin called "a great film", sits at nine percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Here's the Wikipedia for Saint Piran of Cornwall. Bombay after missing the penalty shot: Reilly's reaction to Bombay missing the shot: Here is Texas Tech dropping the ball right at the goal line. Thanks to @angiesoluv for the #QuackQuestion @QuackAttackPod You guys mentioned in ep 8 that Fulton just came to the games and might not have asked to joithe team bc he couldn't skate, but would that have made a difference with them falling over every 3 seconds anyway? He obviously saw how bad they were. #quackquestion — Angela (@angiesoluv) December 29, 2017 Episode 8 was indeed our Fulton episode.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin welcome Marsh and Brian back for one final round of Mighty Ducks trivia. This time though, it takes on a whole different format. Both worthy competitors battle it out but only one can go home with the coveted No. 1 Quackolyte mug. (Unless the other just buys it from our shop.) Show Notes Here's an episode of Win Ben Stein's Money. We were kind of/sort of replicating the final round: "Whoomp! There it is" was the soundtrack of the 90s: Here's Hans' cash register with the total: Still time to get free shipping from the shop.

[powerpress} Mike, Tommy and Kevin recorded a normal podcast, but decided after that it could use a little more work. Because of that, this abbreviated pod is solely the trivia semifinals between Marsh and Nick. Who will win and be one step away from the No. 1 Quackolyte mug? Show Notes The shop promo code is: CHEERf5b49d. Here is the Washington Post story Tommy talked about at the top of the show. Thanks in advanced for understanding. If we can the right people it should be good. Thanks to @Conway96Ducks and @Forzamilanx1899 for a nice semifinal. Don Tibbles handing over his whistle: OK, so Charlie mentions R.E.M. when Linda is like, "I still don't know you that well." Linda just sort of silently nods. Mike, as official creator of the game feels the spirit of the question was not harmed by Charlie's mention of R.E.M. later on. The answer was still obvious, since Linda mentions Pantera.

Mike and Kevin -- Tommy is absent -- take a look at the original Mighty Ducks and how, despite saying they're from different places in D2, they end up in the same school. Are they just saying where they were born or is there a more complicated solution? Also, the semifinals of trivia finally commences. Show Notes Just a reminder, free shipping in the shop with promo code CHEERf5b49d. Shoutout to Kevin's sister Megan for covering our travel expenses to Europe to meet Andy. Thanks to Sara (@avice01) for sharing her Spectrum story, and @FartPartOfAnEgg for giving us a lesson on what exactly is the fart of an egg. Thanks to Mercedes for the #QuackQuestion. How do these Ducks end up all in the same spot? Here's where the Minnesota-based Mighty Ducks say they're from: Guy Germaine - St. Paul Jesse Hall - Minneapolis Les Averman - Brooklyn Park Fulton Reed - Stillwater (which is East of St. Paul and probably the furthest away) Charlie Conway - Minneapolis Connie Moreau - Minneapolis Adam Banks - Edina More evidence that they're saying where they were born and not where they live: Greg Goldberg says he's from Philadelphia, PA. Here's an in-depth look at Prime Prep's downfall. To clarify, Banks was asked to be a Duck but hadn't met the team yet when the entire class got detention. Thanks to @erscimia and @Duncanbruins77 for a barn burner of a semifinal match. For the Chili question, Karp says, "A little chili to keep you warm, buddy" A picture of Chili: It does say "Chili Style" so there could be some controversy, but it ended up not mattering anyway.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin go back to giving different Mighty Ducks characters spinoffs. This time they focus on Adam Banks and pick up his story as he stuggles to stay in the professional ranks while being addicted to painkillers. Also an internet outage derails trivia but the trio discovers some new internet mysteries. Show Notes FREE SHIPPING IN THE SHOP: Use CHEERf5b49d to get free shipping (U.S. AND International) through Dec. 15. Thanks to Andy for the email. We talked to Steve Brill in Episode 63 and Episode 64. We talked about previous spinoffs in episodes 127 and 134. Mike accidentally said Jack O’Reilly instead of Jack Reilly. We talked Pete and Pete as a Mighty Ducks spinoff in Episode 107. We talked D4: The Mighty Ducks in Episode 100. Banks' last innocent moment? All of Playmakers appears to be on YouTube. Here is the first episode: Voodoo from Friday Night Lights was played by Aldis Hodge. He was not in Playmakers according to his IMDB. The injury that started Adam Banks’ painkiller addiction: We did indeed cast Dennis Quaid in Bombay’s minor league history. Congratulations to actor for Ryan Hurst for being cast as the veteran with marital issues on Adam Banks’ former team: Crank 3 does not exist, but Jason Statham really wants to make it. Also congratulations to Kyle Chandler for being the trainer: And finally congrats to J.K. Simmons for being the hard-ass coach: Thanks to @avice01 for going after Spectrum. Sorry about your dog.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin return to talk about another Mighty Ducks minute. This time they examine Fulton and Charlie vomiting into the same trash can, why Charlie thinks he can play hockey his whole life, and Conway's jewelry choices. Show Notes The website with all the minute podcasts is moviesbyminutes.com. We talked about the minute right before this in Episode 103. Charlie and Fulton puking in the same trash can. To the juniors point. Ryan Francis is 15 years old and is playing for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. R.I.P. to Marty from Not Another Teen Movie Not Another Teen Movie with an OK 55 percent from the audience from Rotten Tomatoes. Josh Radnor plays Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother. Charlie's shocked face: This is blurry but here is Charlie's pinky ring: It's better seen in this gif: Charlie bored on the swinging ride: We talked extensively about Slamball in Episode 127. Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie premieres on Nov. 24, 2017 according to Wikipedia. Thanks to @Conway96Ducks and @joyceeng61 for the best round of trivia yet, and some great #shrimptalk. Apparently the widow of the man who she claimed died via shrimp toss sued Benihana for $16 million. The restaurant won the case as the plantiff could not prove that the neck injury that came via shrimp toss contributed directly to what eventually killed him.

Emmy and Oscar nominated composer/orchestrator J.A.C. Redford decided it to slum it with the no-award winning Mike, Tommy, and Kevin. Redford talks his illustrious career, composing D2 and D3, how Melissa Etheridge got cut out of D2, orchestrating and arranging an Adele song, and much more. Show Notes Thanks to J.A.C. for coming on. Check out his website at jacredford.com. He also has his own Wikipedia page. We didn't really give him enough credit. You've definitely heard his work at some point in your life. His full IMDB is here. Some quick bios for some names JAC mentions that you may not know: James Horner was a composer, conductor and orchestrator probably most well known for his score of Titanic. He passed away in 2015. Tom Newman is a another composer, conductor and orchestrator. He has won six Grammys, including some for his work in WALL-E. If you want more music talk, we spoke with D1 composer David Newman in Episode 61. The 7th Votage fo Sinbad came out in 1958: Not a great movie, but some great music. JAC was nominateed for an Emmy in 1984 and an Emmy in 1985 for his work in St. Elsewhere. As a reminder, the main Mighty Ducks theme, created by David Newman. The Trinidad and Tobago scene with the steel drums: Lee Sklar has contributed to over 2,000 albums as a session musician. Here is the Avatar fight scene JAC tried 13 different ways that ended up different than any of the 13 ways he and his orchestra conducted it. JAC mentioned The Trip to Bountiful as some of his best work. Also Mama Flora's Family. Randy Newman: singer, songwriter, composer. JAC arranged and orchestrated Skyfall. It's so dope: Thanks to @bberg19 for the first #QuackQuestion. How challenging was it to score D3, which is still a kid movie, but far more serious than D2? How did he reflect this change musically? — Bryan (@bberg19) October 11, 2017 Thanks to @AirLemaire for the second #QuackQuestion. #QuackQuestion did you know you struck gold after coming up with the song for Hans’ funeral? — bobby lemaire (@AirLemaire) October 11, 2017 Hans' funeral scene.

Mike and Kevin (Tommy is absent) take a #QuackQuestion from Brendan on just how exactly Wolf Stansson even reached the NHL. How does a player from Iceland even get discovered? They then stumble into how Wolf's recruiting of dual nationals led the the quick rise and fall of Icelandic hockey. Show Notes Thanks to Brendan (@bkshaughn) for the #QuackQuestion. Full text of the question: I know you guys have said on the pod that Russ's star turn in D2 was perhaps the greatest story in sports, but the fact that an Icelandic dude made it to the NHL is pretty fucking improbable as well. How the hell did that happen? Iceland was never good enough to field a team at the World Juniors, one of the main venues for assessing up-and-comers. Obviously, there was no online footage to draw scouts there. I have a couple theories: 1) A stubborn scout or GM was sick of the prevailing, Don Cherry-trademarked "European players are soft" notion at the time. They happened upon Wolf while on vacation or because of a delayed connecting flight, and they said "I'll see to it that this fucking kid ends that stupid misconception once and for all!" 2) A GM from that Don Cherry school of thought told his head of European scouting, "Find me some fucking players! And no more pansy-ass Swedes or Finns!" The scout has to look somewhere new in order to keep his job, and he thinks, "Why not Iceland? What do I have to lose?" What do you think? Anze Kopitar is like Wolf in the sense that he's the lone NHLer from a small country. In his case, he had to leave home early (at 16 I think?) to further his career. Did Wolf have to do the same? As for the end of his career, if you will indulge me: I don't think Wolf's actions were as bad as reported. I just think that he was a borderline NHLer, and there were very few (if any) team executives or teammates in his corner. If he were a better player or more popular in the locker room, he would've stuck in the league. I think, however, that he was at that weird, Ty Cobb level of competitiveness that runs beyond even what most NHLers are comfortable with. The only ones who roomed with him on the road were rookies, and they were forced to do so. Anyway, that's just my theory. What do you think? We talk about Wolf Stansson in Episode 117. For reference, the entire country of Slovenia is about the size of the city of Houston population-wise. Thanks to Leia (@bashsister87) and Nick (@ForzaMilanx1899) for what might've been the best round of trivia we've had this far. Here is the movie Leia was in. No joke, it looks really good.

Rob Lieberman, director of D3, joins Mike, Tommy, and Kevin to talk about how he went from Buffalo to Los Angeles, making iconic commercials, inheriting D3, making hockey scenes look realistic, and why they had to cut windows into an ice rink. Show Notes Here is the Oreo cookie commercial that Rob made that became a smashing success: And here is the China version: No word on what those original two kids are doing now. There are plenty of other versions on YouTube. You can see the McDonald's Super Bowl commercial at this link. Here's the "New Kid" commercial: Here's the trailer for Breakaway: . Brill had a co-writing credit on D3, but it was mostly written Jim Burnstein. We had Burnstein on Episode 52. Here is the scene Rob was talking about where Dwayne flips the puck on his stick and goes all the way down the ice to score. Rob helped up come with Ted Orion taking his wheel-chair bound daughter on the ice: Thanks to @bberg19 for the #QuackQuestion. How did the kids on the Ducks feel about Emilio Estevez having such a reduced role in D3? Did they take it as him abandoning them? — Bryan (@bberg19) September 18, 2017 Steve Brill sued Disney in 1998 for 5 percent of their gross revenue made from "exploiting unique objects and things” relating to the Mighty Ducks. According to Variety, at one point Mighty Ducks merchandise accounted for 80 percent of the $1 billion in NHL merchandising revenues If you want to know more about Rob, the Buffalo News had a great story on him.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin talk more Mighty Ducks spinoffs. First they bring to life Ted Orion's decision to quit the Minnesota North Stars and bring his family back together. Then, they look at Reilly's descent into a power-hungry coach. Show Notes Our first spinoffs were in Episode 127. Coach Orion and his daughter: Shoutout to Doris Roberts. We're going to have a problem putting her in this movie. She died in April 2016. Here is the Get Shorty trailer: Here's the Big Sick trailer: My Giant has a 19 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. We talked about Pete and Pete being a spinoff of the Mighty Ducks in Episode 107. The final scene of the Hawks' rise: Thanks to @jdyoungblood_ for @DW33zyy for stepping up and coming through with trivia. Also follow Darren's podcast, @TalkTheeTalk, and subscribe on iTunes. I believe this is the track J.D. talked about: Goldberg's Drexel shirt.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin dive into another Mighty Ducks minute. This time they look the aftermath of the Eden Hall JV's tie with the Blake Bears, with topics touching on Orion's wardrobe, Josh Jackson's puberty and the lack of leadership across the board. Show Notes Ted Orion's jacket, and his overly-long exasperation. Goldberg's piss poor goaltending: Julie The Cat's finishes her song, "a year ago he couldn't even skate." Here's the scene from "42" Tommy was talking about (NSFW): The kid actor is Henry Friedman. That was his first credit. He also played Kyle in the 2014 movie "Grim Reapers" and was Noah Peters in an episode of the 2017 TV Series Documentary Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda. "42" got a 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and an 85 percent from the audience.

Mike and Tommy (Kevin is in New York) breakdown Gordon Bombay's efforts as a recruiter. While he's shown an ability to find diamonds in the rough, does the fact that he had to use technicalities to gain the five-star prospect hurt him? Also, the most controversial round of trivia ever takes place. Show Notes Here's the TMZ story on Shaun Weiss' latest troubles. According to Page Six, Weiss has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. Shady move by Bombay to recruit Tommy and Tammy before talking to their parents, or slick? Let me Google those Craig James rumors for you. We talked more about Tommy and Tammy in Episode 98. Bombay's going the extra mile to recruit Fulton: We talked about Bombay's shady moves all the way back in Episode 1. Hoop Dreams has a 98 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Danny talks about Shaun Weiss' strange sentence, why Mike Vitar could be in some trouble despite not doing much, crimes involving pee, and therapy goats. Show Notes It's been a long road from here: Thanks to Danny for coming on and educating us. Say thanks to him on Twitter. (IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER SO NO ONE GETS SUED: Everything Danny said on the podcast was for educational purposes only and should not be taken as legal advice.) One postscript from Danny: There are indeed situations in which a person who files for bankruptcy may have their monetary punishments extinguished. Here's the full Shaun Weiss story according to TMZ. I just saw this story from Page Six today. It says Weiss began serving his jail time last Friday. (That's probably why he didn't respond to our request to come on.) Weiss' manager (not his lawyer, to correct what Mike said on the pod) is quoted as saying he hopes Shaun gets out of jail and goes to rehab. In December 2013, Weiss' ex-girlfriend obtained a temporary restraining order against him when she alleged that in April of that year he punched her in the face, chased her with a machete, and peed on her while saying, "This is all you're worth", according to TMZ. As mentioned, a judged threw the case out in January 2014. The ex-girlfriend failed to show up for the hearing. After further research, Weiss' ex did obtain a restraining order on a second attempt, restricting him from coming within 100 yards of her for five years. Here are the videos from the incident involving Mike Vitar: In the criminal case, Vitar pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery this January, according to TMZ. He was sentenced to 90 days of community service and weekly anger management classes. He was also fined $2,000 and had to pay a TBD amount to the victim. Thanks to @dreisner12 and @duncanBruins77 for a spirited round of Quack Attack Trivia. FYI: Minneapolis v. Higgins is not a real court case.

Mike,Tommy and Kevin bring in the Little Giants and the Big Green to test the Mighty Ducks' crossover sports skills. If all three teams were to play in a three-sport tournament (soccer, hockey, football) which is victorious? Then Brian and Leia play an impossible round of Mighty Ducks trivia. Show Notes Turkey leg challenge for those who weren't there. For those who don't know: The Big Green (which holds a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes) and Little Giants. We talked about the Sandlot vs. the Goonies vs. the Mighty Ducks in Episode 73. The matchup: Juan Morales: Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie comes out in 2017. Football mastermind Steve Guttenberg: The final scores: Soccer Little Giants Big Green Mighty Ducks Hockey Mighty Ducks Little Giants Big Green Football Little Giants Big Green Mighty Ducks Thanks to Brian (@Moloch2689) and Leia (@bashsister87) for putting up with an impossible trivia round.

With Tommy bailing after an iffy excuse, Mike and Kevin take a #QuackQuestion on the Mighty Ducks' and Eden Hall's alternate captains. Who earned the right to wear a letter next to Charlie? Then Nick and Zack square off in an epic trivia duel. Show Notes: Thanks to @jarrodbeasley for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod #quackquestion Bombay and Orion never really gave out the A, just the C. Who on the Ducks gets the A's? — Jarrod Beasley (@jarrodbeasley) April 15, 2017 The fully updated #QuackQuestion leaderboard. Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr were captain and assistant captain for at least some portion of their time together: In 2008-09 the Canucks appointed Roberto Luongo captain (not the Panthers), but apparently he didn't wear a letter since he couldn't be an official captain during games. Alex Ovechkin was indeed the captain of the Capitals last year. Banks' Hawks jersey doesn't have any captains letters on it: Kevin's Sergei Federov Russian jersey: Kevin has made the case for Dwayne being the worst player multiple time. The most recent with was with fellow Dwayne hater Tom Martin in Episode 121. So here's how the locker room scene after the Blake Bears game goes down: Charlie goes in and says he got hooked. Wu tells him we didn't need any more goals. Luis makes a snidy comment. Guy comes through with the most leadership, saying, "We let down, it's as simple as that." Then Connie barges in with, "Hey, you let down. I played hard." Russ isn't in the mix at all. Thanks to @forza1899Milan and @ztwin78 for the epic trivia battle. Coach Orion's confidence speech: The family eating chicken wings at a picnic:

Mike, Tommy and Kevin return for another Mighty Ducks minute. This time they break down the pregame routine of the Ducks, decide whether this is Bombay's worst coaching performance, and try to figure out what exactly Karp is doing on the bench. Later, @Canesfan3234 and @Conway96Ducks face off in a trivia matchup. Show Notes Thanks again to Star Wars minute for the inspiration. Guy's helmet: Karp wearing a Chicago Bulls hockey jersey. Look between the 'D' and the '5': According to the Minnesota Youth Hockey Handbook, a running clock is used in any game with a goal differental of six or more in the third period. Faceoff came out in 1997, five years after the Ducks and the Hawks came out. It has a 92 percent(!) on Rotten Tomatoes. Connie giving Bombay the eyes while Karp tries to look tough: Special thanks to @Canesfan3234 and @Conway96Ducks for their thriller of a game in Mighty Ducks trivia.
Thu, June 29, 2017
Tommy returns to the podcast, joining Mike and Kevin to discuss spinoff vehicles for the Mighty Ducks. Gordon Bombay and Dennis Quaid team up on the Minnehaha Waves, the Bash Brothers head to Mexico, and Goldberg "meats" his first love. At the end, Ben (@jennyweistler) and Ed (@erscimia) take part in the first matchup of the Mighty Ducks trivia challenge. Show Notes The Anaheima Ducks and Los Angeles Kings played at Dodger Stadium in 2014. The 2022 Winter Olympics will take place in Beijing. Laverne and Shirley was a spinoff of Happy Days, not Cheers. The most famous Cheers spinoff was Fraiser. The Rembrandts came up with the Friends theme song. The Long Beach Dub Allstars came up with the Joey theme song. Yes, Dennis Quaid is still alive. Bombay's life in the minors: Imagine this, but in Mexico: If you're interested in the story behind SlamBall, listen to this episode of the StartUp podcast. Fever Pitch was the movie about the Red Sox starring Jimmy Fallon. The movie Tommy and Mike were talking about is Summer Catch. It has an eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes. This is definitely going in the opening credits of When Goldie Meats Sally: Special thanks to @erscimia and @jennyweistler for being our trivia guinea pigs.

With Tommy still on the lam, Mike and Kevin welcome in special guests Macho and Moxie for a discussion on the triple deke. They discuss its origins, whether Bombay should've abandoned it, and when its resurgence is coming in the hockey world. Show notes: Tommy's replacements, Macho and Moxie: We talked about the media and the Mighty Ducks in Episode 5. Here is the article Mike could now read: We talked about the best sports dynasties in Episode 106. This is Charlie's goal from D1. It didn't happen at all how the newspaper described it: Charlie is right handed in the films. Young Bombay is also right handed, as is Old Bombay. Banks losing the puck on his triple deke shootout attempt: Before playing three-bar Stansson tells Bombay, "Show me that famous triple deke that your daddy taught you. Or was it that old geezer over there?" So it's unclear where it originated, but probably with either Bombay's dad or Hans/Jan. This is Pavel Datsyuk's signature move that Mike talked about: Thanks to @Totally_Offside for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod Was Ducksworth actually a good guy in D1? #QuackQuestion — Totally Offside (@Totally_Offside) June 6, 2017

(NOTE this episode originally aired September 3, 2015) The schedules just didn't lineup again this week, so instead of a new episode, enjoy one of our classics. Matt Doherty, who played Averman, talks about a possible D4, how he was cut out of Home Alone, how his dad was mistaken for a homeless man on the Mighty Ducks set, and more. Show notes: Matt's IMDB. Here's Episode 1 of South of Sunset: Here's Matt's music. And here's the trailer for Ganymede Pan: Matt was also in a horror movie called Hollows Grove. Here is the trailer: This is Gary Marshall. This is Anna Chlumsky. She plays Amy Brookheimer on Veep. Averman and his glasses:

Mike, Tommy and Kevin discuss the little focused-on Lewis, who was Gordon Bombay's driver. They try to figure out if Lewis is good at his job, why he cared so much about his candy and why he stayed with the Mighty Ducks after Gordon Bombay was fired. Show Notes Shoutout to Lewis: Mark Appel was the No. 1 pick in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. Lewis' does not talk about cake but does infer a rock-and-roll lifestyle. His line: "That was the life. Chicks. Parties. Amps cranked up to about eight jillion decibels..." M.C. Gainey is 69 years old right now and definitely still alive. Hanson's new song is called "I Was Born." It's no MMMBop, but it's pretty good. NPR called it fantastic. The Hanson Brothers are currently The trailer for "Blank Check": Tone Loc was a rapper and actor. He played Juice in Blank Check. His main rap hit, Funky Cold Medina: Lewis literally shaking down Peter: Lewis celebrating with the team after Bombay was fired from Ducksworth's office: Thanks to @dreisner12 for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod what do you think Goldberg's Bar Mitzvah was like? Were all of the Ducks invited or did some get left out? #quackquestion — Danny (@dreisner12) May 18, 2017 A line from Lenny Dykstra's Wikipedia: "On July 13, 2012, Dykstra pleaded guilty in federal court to three felonies: one count each of bankruptcy fraud, concealment of assets and money laundering."
Thu, May 18, 2017
Mike, Tommy and Kevin examine the parallel in which Gordon Bombay is never stopped and arrested for a DUI. Whose lives are better? Whose are worse? Does Bombay still end up bumping into the Mighty Ducks in some other fashion? Show Notes Thanks to @Totally_Offside for the #QuackQuestion that inspired this episode. (UPDATE: All 16 trivia spots are full.) The participants: Will F. @jarrodbeasley @canesfan3234 @Moloch2689 @duncanBruins77 @delenn_strong @erscimia @Conway96Ducks @Jennyweistler Armin K. Leia B. Orlando B. @forza1899milan @joyceeng61 @dreisner12 @ztwin78 In Minnesota, a DWI is specifically for a person driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08. A DUI is simply driving a motor vehicle under the influence, with no specific BAC required. All states' legal limit is now .08. In 1992, Minnesota's legal limit was .10. History will be made: Bombay feeling like he is above the law: We talked about the Junior Goodwill Games competition level in Episode 41. Todd Marinovich for those who don't know. Tom Martin talked about his hatred for Averman in Episode 121. Thanks to some stats by the great @jarrodbeasley, Averman went 0 for 4 in faceoffs throughout the films. This is the third episode in which Torvald was referenced. We also talked about him in Episode 84 and Episode 91. Alliterative is a word. This is the documentary Tommy talked about. (Embedding has been disabled.) Thanks to @Damansara_Keith: @QuackAttackPod #QuackQuestion: Where was Russ Tyler during the campfire? I don't see him. Is it because his character lives in LA? — Keith Leong (@Damansara_Keith) May 14, 2017 Mike apologizes for calling Keith, "Ken" at one point. After reviewing the tape, Russ was the only player in D2 not to attend the camp fire. You can spend a day with Russ Tyler. Bid on it here.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin break down another Mighty Ducks minute. This time, they break down the Mighty Ducks' outing to the Minnesota North Stars vs. Hartford Whalers game. Averman-Goldberg, Connie-Guy, and Jesse-Banks are all discussed. Show notes Eddie comes in strong with a 15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Bogus is the movie Tommy was thinking of that starred Whoopi Goldberg and Haley Joel Osment. Averman nabbing Goldberg's pretzel: Guy and Connie's outfits: We talked with D3 costume designer Kim Tillman in Episode 59. Jesse's look after the Hawks point the finger gun at Banks: What is Goldberg doing in the top left? Bombay late on the celebration: Charlie's cooking: The game the Mighty Ducks attended appears to have occurred on February 29, 1992. It's the only game from 1988 to 1992 that had the Stars and Whalers tied at three at on point during the game. The Whalers won the game, 5-4, in overtime. Thanks to @Totally_Offside for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod would any of the Ducks' lives have been better off if they had never met Bombay? If so, which ones? #QuackQuestion — Totally Offside (@Totally_Offside) April 19, 2017 We talked about Tammy's untimely death in Episode 107.

Director/stunt man/special effects guy Eric D. Howell stops by to talk about his new movie, Voice from the Stone, how he went from a house boat to the Mighty Ducks, what making the knucklepuck was like and the D3 stunt that left him bloodied. Show Notes Thanks to Eric for coming on. Watch Voice from the Stone. Here's the Facebook page. It also has a Twitter account and Instagram. You can get Eric's award-winning short, Ana's Playground at anasplayground.com Drop Dead Fred from 1991. The synopsis via IMDB: "A young woman finds her already unstable life rocked by the presence of a rambunctious imaginary friend from childhood." This is Diamonds and Pearls, where Eric broke in with Prince. Eric still has a knucklepuck they used in the film on his desk: The zamboni through the glass stunt: Watch Eric get landed on over and over again! Apocalypse Now. Do you want to fight or do you want to surf? Some players in boots in the film: Eric helped Charlie knock all the hockey sticks down: A Simple Plan sits at 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. A little preview of Critter Gitters. The show describes itself as "a group of neighborhood kids who join forces with two veterinarians, a mildy mad scientist and a curios chimpanzee to become a search and rescue unit, a detective agency and a SWAT team for animals." Thanks to @bberg19 for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod @joyceeng61 @Totally_Offside @leia_nog @jarrodbeasley How did the varsity player get checked through the glass and into the front row, and NOT manage to stab someone with his skate? — Bryan (@bberg19) May 3, 2017 Mallrats: 55 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. (82 percent from the audience.)
Thu, April 20, 2017
Buffalo broadcaster Tom Martin stops by and talks with Mike, Tommy, and Kevin about which Mighty Duck could be the best broadcaster, whether Dwayne is the worst player in Mighty Ducks history and whether Averman deserves a spot on the team. Show Notes Thanks to Tom from coming on. Follow him on Twitter: @4TomMartin. Listen to his podcast: @AudcastPodcast. We talked about Banks' broadcasting career in Episode 120. For reference, Banks' hair: Barstool Sports, for those who somehow aren't aware. Newsies has a very split score on Rotten Tomatoes: 39 percent from the critics, 88 percent from the audience. We talked about Don Tibbles playing Wolf and Gordon against each other in Ep. 117. Paul Kariya's cameo. Shoutout to Josh the announcer: We talked about the women in Bombay's life in Episode 9. The Leonardo DiCaprio movie was indeed called Romeo + Juliet. It's at 72 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Maria's eyes right before Bombay and Stansson face off in three bar: Dwayne Robertson = the only Ducks player to miss during the shootout. We discussed the Mighty Ducks' worst player in Episode 6. So apparently Teemu Selanne said he felt Paul Kariya was bitter about the way his career ended (essentially because he had too many concussions playing hockey). Kariya, for his part said he just liked playing and didn't want to be involved with anything else. Thanks to @leia_nog for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod #quackquestion All the ducks are like family, but do you think there were a couple that may have disliked each other? — Leia Burns (@leia_nog) April 5, 2017 The source of Russ Tyler and Jesse Hall's friction: Matt Doherty came on in Episode 54. Lester Averman: One goal in seven games in D2.

Thanks to a #QuackQuestion, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin take a look into the future (or present at this point?) and determine what happened after hockey ended for the Mighty Ducks. Some die, some bebcome doctors and one goes undercover as a jockey. Show Notes Thanks to @leia_nog for the #QuackQuestion that created the whole episode. @QuackAttackPod #quackquestion what careers (apart from hockey) would the ducks pursue when they got older? — Leia Burns (@leia_nog) April 7, 2017 Episode 100.

In light of some recent Ducks' sporting success and heartbreak, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin take a look at Gordon Bombay's coaching style. Would his gimmicks work in other sports? What would success in another sport do for the popularity of the Air Bombay? Show Notes The updated #QuackQuestion leaderboard. Here's the second of two occassions where Oregon failed to box out: The 38th annual Great American Duck Race in Deming, New Mexico will take place August 24-27. Here's some video of the scene and the classic 2010 race: Bombay's gimmicks. The egg drill: The football drills: Mendoza's pop-can pyramid: Rebound: "Where old school ... meets Middle School." To be fair to Tommy, in June, the New York Post declared Meat Loaf dead on the front page of its news app. You can buy our Air Bombay loafer shirt at our shop. The Guru of Go of go documentary. Thanks at atgioffre for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod who would be on the Mount Rushmore of Ducks? Gordon, Charlie, Banks...Fulton? — anthony (@atgioffre) April 5, 2017 We talked about Fulton Reed in Episode 8.
Thu, March 23, 2017
Mike, Tommy and Kevin take another shot at the Mighty Ducks Minute and do it legitimately this time (hopefully). As they break down a part of the roller blading montage, they discuss whether the Ducks were secretly trying to lose Goldberg and whether chicken wings are an acceptable picnic food.
Thu, March 16, 2017
Mike, Tommy, and Kevin attempt to figure out if Wolf Stansson was actually as bad as he seemed. In the process they uncover another one of Tibbles' secret marketing plans and ponder how the Junior Goodwill Games looked to the outside world. Show notes Shoutout to Cars For Kids. We touched on Stansson at the end of Episode 116. Bombay with the slicked-back hair: Iceland's black jerseys that have resemblence to their flag: The Bombay vs. Stansson showdown: Bombay's line after he hits the second post: "Newsflash: that wasn't even my triple deke." Then he fakes Stansson, turns back around and says, "One more post and you go home crying. By the way Stansson, you owe me a beach ball." That's when the slash comes. We talked about Iceland being in turmoil after the loss to Russia all the way back in Episode 2. Stansson showing some sportsmanship: Thanks to @erscimia for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod Is Gordon really cheating vs. Jets in D1? Or just teaching kids legit skill of drawing calls from the refs? #QuackQuestion — Ed Scimia (@erscimia) February 2, 2017 Twitter | Facebook | iTunes Pod intro and outro by Josh Luecht
Thu, March 09, 2017
Mike, Tommy, and Kevin take a deep dive into the moment that starts the documentaries: Gordon Bombay's failed penalty shot. The trio discusses Jack Reilly's coaching, the goalie's way too enthusiastic and what happens to the Hawks afterwards.
Thu, February 23, 2017
With Tommy out, Mike and Kevin steal his idea and talk about the effects the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team on Trinidad and Tobago's run to the Junior Goodwill Games. They also discuss whatever happened to Terri the cocktail waitress. Show Notes Jamaica we have a bobsled team: Shoutout to this bus driver: @dartmedia Driver this morning on 019 (#39112) is A+. Went of her way to make sure a slightly lost older man got to the right bus. So kind. — Kevin Cullen (@KevinMCullen) February 17, 2017 Cool Runnings for the unfamiliar. Trinidad and Tobago: Jamaica to Trinidad and Tobago is a two hour, 55 minute flight. Dallas to Detroit is a two hour, 30 minute flight. Dallas to Philadelphia is a three hour flight. The U.S.A. beat Trinidad and Tobago by a score of 9-2: Shoutout to Hasely Crawford for bringing home the gold medal for Trinidad and Tobago in 1976. Sam Gellard, hockey star, born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. We talked about the Iceland team inspiring another generation down the line in Episode 88. Thanks to Altin for the #QuackQuestion: "Whatever happened to Terri the cocktail waitress in D2? Did she ever become "head of production for a major studio"? How low did she go in order to make it in Hollywood? And, what are the chances that she went home with the Minnesota Miracle Man that night?" Judging from Gordon's face here, he's definitely in:

Mighty Ducks tech. advisor/referee/coach Jack White returns to talk with Mike, Tommy and Kevin for a wide-ranging conversation. White speaks about his early days as an animator, why Emilo didn't want to skate, what Mighty Ducks swag he still has and more. Show notes (Note: As we said on the podcast we recorded in Kevin's apartment, so that's why Mike's voice echoes. We haven't really figured out the logistics there yet.) Thanks to Jack White for coming on again. He's the best. We last talked to him in Episode 70. Check out his Facebook page: Hockey and Hollywood. It's a treasure trove of photos and videos from his time in Hollywood. Here's a list of Jack's animation credits. Jack not dropping a baby might've saved the next show business star: Rob Lieberman and Marilu Henner's first son, Nick, just graduated from Columbia and is pursuing a film career according to the Buffalo News. Jack told his full story about the original Adam Banks in Episode 70. Paul Michael Glaser: The Running Man featuring Arnold Schwarenegger. Professor Toru Tanaka ran 5-11, 280: Here is his scene: Thanks to @Totally_Offside for the #QuackQuestion: @QuackAttackPod if you had to put together a hockey team & could choose players from any team across the 3 films, who would you choose? — Totally Offside (@Totally_Offside) January 18, 2017 Jack White's All-Mighty Ducks Movie team: Goalie: Shaun Weiss (Greg Goldberg) Defense: J.D.

This episode contains a highlights from the two-hour ordeal that was Kevin's Turkey Leg Challenge. The original event took place on Saturday. Hear Mike, Tommy and Kevin and a few special guests discuss #QuackQuestions as Kevin eats. Watch the full video here:
Thu, January 26, 2017
Mike and Tommy convene for a not-so-secret meeting while Kevin is at a conference. The two talk about Kevin's chances in his upcoming turkey leg challenge and then do a grab bag with topics on the oreo line and Gordon Bombay's trek to Hans' shop. Show Notes Kevin's turkey leg challenge originated in Episode 103. Sydney, Australia is 17 hours ahead of United States Central Time, so 2 p.m. CST is 7 a.m. Sydney time. What is this, the oreo line? TSN interviewed long-time NHL Kerry Fraser about the game. An excerpt from Fraser: "Prior to the opening puck drop I would have firmly addressed the highly inappropriate, racially charged "Oreo Cookie line" comment by assuming the role of a "Political Correctness Police Officer." I would have immediately insisted upon a sincere apology be delivered by the Hawks player with the threat of ejection from the game under rule 23.7 (ii) racial taunts and slurs. If I was satisfied with a sincerity of the apology I would have escorted the Hawks player to his bench and placed the Coach on notice that any further such episodes from any of his players would result in a game misconduct." Thanks to @Moloch2689 for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod #quackquestion #Part1#D1 when Bombay arrives at Hans Castle. Where does he come from?

Mike, Tommy and Kevin return from the holidays with a few stories, an update on the Turkey Leg Challenge and a bit of controversy regarding the Mighty Ducks minute. They then tackle minute No. 137, when Averman, Dwayne, Goldberg and Jesse hit Rodeo Drive. Show notes I used to pull the movies from this site. It's not bad as long as you have an ad blocker on. This is the movie Tommy's mother bought for his sister: My sister asked for Pixar's "Inside Out" for Christmas. My mother, in her haste, got her this presumably much better film: pic.twitter.com/JEqHppxpR1 — Tommy Magelssen (@TommyMagelssen) December 27, 2016 The 2011 version of Inside Out has a 25 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down how stupid the Junior Goodwill Games tournament set up really was and also look at the failures of Russia and Canada during the games. Later, they learn how the tournament ignited a 22-year, system-wide doping process in Russia. Show Notes We talked about Mendoza being the child of Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez in Episode 80. What we know about the Junior Goodwill Games standings, in one picture: The journey in Group A: Iceland (1-0) def. Trinidad (0-1) Germany (1-0) def. Italy (0-1) U.S.A. (1-0) def. Trinidad (0-2, knocked out of the tournament) Iceland (2-0) def. Germany (1-1) U.S.A. (2-0) def. Italy (0-2, knocked out of the tournament) Iceland (3-0) def. U.S.A. (2-1) U.S.A. (3-1) def. Germany (1-2, knocked out of tournament) Group A No. 1 seed: Iceland. Group A No. 2 seed: U.S.A. The journey in Group B: Russia (1-0) def. Sweden (0-1) Canada (1-0) def. Denmark (0-1) Denmark (1-1) def. France (0-1) Sweden (1-1) def. France (0-2, knocked out of the tournament) Canada (2-0) def. Russia (1-1) Sweden (2-1) def. Denmark (1-2, knocked out of the tournament) (Ed: Note, Mike misspoke at this point. He meant, Sweden and Canada would play, not Russia and Canada. Sweden and Canada would be the matchup because Russia had already defeated Sweden.) Canada (3-0) def. Sweden (2-2, knocked out of the tournament.) Group B No. 1 seed: Canada, Group B No. 2 seed, Russia. We talked about Junior Goodwill Games qualifying in Episode 41. Our solution for the Mighty Ducks playoff format when they were back in Minnesota was that it was based on geography. We talked about that in Episode 10. The headline for team U.S.A's win over Canada: Some Bro named John Zidich is USA Today's President and Publisher. He's on Twitter, but has tweeted just twice since joining in 2009. They came four years apart. The article on the entire Russian team being replaced at the U-18 World Championships because of doping. We talked about Iceland's Junior Goodwill Games sparking their run in the most recent UEFA championships in Episode 88. Thanks to @catania412 for the #QuackQuestion. @QuackAttackPod can you guys do a podcast of why the jr. goodwill games only allowed 13 rostered players — Mike Catania (@catania412) November 29, 2016 From this shot of the Trinidad bench, we count seven or eight players, depending on if that kid in orange behin the coach with dreads is a player. That's roughly the same amount as Team USA. At least for here, there is no evidence that the Junior Goodwill Games handicapped the team.

Tommy has two theories he runs by Mike and Kevin. The first involves Tommy and Tammy's absence from D2 as well as what happened after. (Hint: Hans is involved.) The deals with Ms. MacKay and whether she must time travel to protect the Mighty Ducks. Show Notes Episode 104 was the first that featured Kevin without his car. That came debuted on Nov. 9. We're well over a month now. This is a Honda Ruckus: Our famous Hans theory comes in Episode 11. Everything you want to know about Pete and Pete in this amazing 1990s-style website. Don't forget to check out the Pete and Pete community on LiveJournal. (It hasn't been updated in five years.) This is Pete a.k.a. Tommy Duncan's tattoo petunia: Shoutout to Stranger Things. Mom isn't going to like this at all: This theory is basically the same plot as the Gone in Sixty Seconds documentary. The Mighty Ducks premiered on October 2, 1992. The Adventures of Pete and Pete had shorts on Nickelodeon beginning in 1989, but the full series didn't start until 1993. It is possible that the documentaries were shot at different times but Pete and Pete just made it to air much quicker than a full-length theatrical documentary like The Mighty Ducks. The principal from D1/teacher from D3 and Ms. McKay in D2: A quick summary of Terminator for those who've forgotten. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure also has an amazing website. A summary as well. It was indeed Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines that had the new machine go back in time to kill the other members of the resistance. Thanks to @Conway96Ducks for the #QuackQuestion. We believe Mike announced Marcia wrong on the pod. Sorry! @QuackAttackPod what do you think the phone call was like when Tibbles had to tell Mr. Hall that Terry wasn't selected for Team USA? — Charlie Conway (@Conway96Ducks) December 12, 2016

Thanks to a Quack Question, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin look at Eden Hall's (probable) 14 consecutivve state champions and compare them to the other great dynasties in peewee, high school, college, and the pros. Is it a better dynasty than the Hawks? More importantly, does it go by scandal free? Show notes Thanks to Zach Grauwinkel for the #QuackQuestion that started the episode. There was no bet made between Tommy and Kevin regarding Kevin's car. There was just a prevoius over/under of three weeks. We've already hit the over. The Turkey leg challenge is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 28. Here's the list of Minnesota High School hockey state champions. The Hawks banners: It turns out that when Cretin-Durham Hall won its 11 state championships in a 15-year period it played in a separate private school division. Mike can't do math. It was a 14-year period for Cretin-Durham Hall. Here's a scene from "The Streak": Here's the Wikipedia page of all the greatest sports dynasties. Where do the Mighty Ducks rank? North Carolina Women's soccer's longest streak of championships was nine in a row. Bill Russell's Celtics won 11 titles in 13 years. The Spurs won three titles in five years from 2003 to 2007.

Listen on Stitcher or the Google Play Music Store. Mike, Tommy, and Kevin review the documentaries to figure out which people had the best edits and worst edits versus who they really are. Was Bombay's portrayal correct? Is Conway not as bad as we give him credit for? Could Karp actually be semi-smart? Show Notes Coach Reilly and Bombay. How much was cut out of this scene? Is it really Conway's fault the Bears took it from here, went all the way down the ice and scored in 10 seconds? Watch this scene without taking context into acccount. Isn't it kind of messed up?

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down Kevin's turkey leg challenge, and look at the point at which the new Mighty Ducks and old Mighty Ducks unite together. Did Gordon Bombay play a rope-a-dope in the first Iceland game to get his team motivated for a comeback? Show Notes Shoutout to Scott Kilmer, who is teaching Kevin how to replace a radiator via YouTube A scene from True Life: I'm a competitive eater Was tying the team up effective? Let's do some random jumps guys! Kevin talked about Miracle. Watch it if you haven't seen it. We came up with our coach rankings in Episodes 37 and 38.

Show notes: This theory was born in our last show, Episode 91, with Mighty Duckling Charlie Scudder. Quick note: Bombay also gives the speech at the beginning of D3, so it's pretty likely he was there at the beginning. Casey Conway tells Bombay, "I think that's a good idea." Bombay walking up to the funeral: Bombay/Charlie Conway getting stuffed in the trash can: It actually sounds like it's Dwayne who says, "It's Coach Bombay!" Gordon Bombay's triumphant return?

An extensive #QuackQuestion leads Mike, Tommy, and Kevin down the road of the 1973 Duluth East peewee team, the club that beat the Hawks when Gordon Bombay missed his penalty shot. What if I told you a peewee team in Duluth could turn into local legend? Listen on Stitcher or the Google Play Music Store. Show Notes Thanks to @ak2themax for the topic. The moment that will live forever in Duluth: Before 1973 the Duluth high schools combined had five tournaments and one championship. Total they now have 29 appearances and three championships. Duluth East has won all three titles. The drinking age in Minnesota in 1973 was 18. Danny Almonte for those that don't know. The Duluth East goalie stands well over the top of the net (which is four feet tall) when he's down in his crouch: This is where Beaverton, Ontario is. This is where London, Ontario is. David killed Goliath and carried his head to Jerusalem. Possible candidates who were Bombay's friends in peewees and then befriended Basil McRae on the North Stars: Defenseman Scott Hirsch -- from Minneapolis, played one game with McRae Forward Scott Bjugstad -- from St. Paul, played parts of two years with McRae. Defenseman Reed Larson -- Larson from the Hawk's namesake, from Minneapolis, played 11 games with McRae Riotus is a word. Recognizability is also a word. The correct etymology for those from Duluth are Duluthians. Jim Craig played a grand total of 30 games in the NHL. The second-place banner: Phil Vercota went to Duluth East high school.

We talked about Don Tibbles picking kids based on marketing basis in Episode 21. For more info, listen to Episode 14 on the Bash Brothers. Here is a very old-school feature on Greg Oden that features some high school highlights. This might look like it's from the '80s. It's actually from 2006: Some bootleg video of the fourth graders beating the fifth graders after Torvald gets injured: Pass the ball to Tucker: The Pataki Attacki Podcast is coming soon.

Huberty explains why the name was changed to "Champions" overseas, what happened when the ice melted while filming, whether a D4 could theoretically happen in this movie landscape, and more. Show notes Thanks again to Martin for coming on. Here is his IMDB. Less Than Zero's IMDB and Fried Green Tomatoes' IMDB.

Listen on Stitcher or the Google Play Music Store. Mike, Tommy, and Kevin rip off the idea of Star Wars minute and apply it to the Mighty Ducks, going in-depth and breaking down one minute of the film for the entire episode. They also reveal the winner of the Quack Attack's first ever t-shirt contest. Show Notes Thanks to everyone who participated in our contest. Congrats to our shirt winner. You can get your own shirt at our shop here. Shoutout to Star Wars minute for giving us the idea. Give them a listen. Touching the ice is a Norwegian symbol of respect: If you're new and don't know any of our Hans theories, listen to Episode 11. Norway's men's national ice hockey team finished 12th at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Two Norwegian players, Mats Zuccarello and Andreas Martinsen, played in the NHL this season. This is the speech from Rudy that Tommy is talking about: Casey Conway getting starting the Quack chant in the crowd: Out on the ice for the opening faceoff: Adam Banks, Charlie Conway, Dwayne Robertson, Greg Goldberg, Russ Tyler. It's tough tell when they first come out, but this appears to be the lineup based on actions immediately after puck drop. This is the assistant coach that Tommy is talking about: This is the pan-in that Kevin was talking about that happened beyond the boundaries of the minute: Here is the funny face Casey makes while the Ducks touch the ice: Thanks to @jarrodbeasley for the #QuackQuestion.

Listen on Stitcher or the Google Play Music Store. Mike, Tommy, and not Kevin tackle three different topics in this grab bag episode. Was Linda using Charlie to get the Warrior name changed? Who do the Mighty Ducks root for? What would happen if Mighty Ducks/Hawks super team went to the Goodwill Games? Show Notes Thanks to @kreeves53, @Totally_Offside, and @jarrodbeasley for the #QuackQuestions that made up our grab bag. Here is our last grab bag. This is Charlie in the moments before he meets Linda: You think Linda doesn't know he's a jock? Dwayne is a tried and true Texan. We definitively know who he's rooting for in this Dallas Stars/Minnesota Wild series. Another option to consider when looking at the Ducks' rooting interest, they've met Mike Modano and Basil McRae: Twitter | Facebook | iTunes Pod intro and outro by Josh Luecht

Listen to us on Stitcher Mike, Tommy, and Kevin dive deep into Luis Mendoza's life. They examine how he was discovered in playing hockey in Miami, his emotional reunion with his estranged father Benny 'The Jet' Rodriguez, his career as a short-track speed skater and much more. Show Notes: Here's the link to our store. Listen to Episode 78 for the whole Luis Mendoza/Benny The Jet connection. Luis Mendoza and Benny the Jet. Quite the resemblence: Mendoza not stopping: Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald was indeed a ballboy for the Vikings back in the day. If you're unfamiliar with Rube Baker from Major League: Mike, Tommy and Kevin gave their ideal shootout lineups in Episode 13. None of three picked Luis to be in the lineup. Luis and Mindy: Here is Episode 7, where we first talk about Luis Mendoza's transition to speed skating. Travis Henry was a running back for the Bills, Titans and Broncos. He had nine children with nine different mothers. Brian Urlacher has two daughers with his ex-wife and a son with an exotic dancer. Thanks to @cjgjmg for the #QuackQuestion.

Listen to us on Stitcher Mike, Tommy and Kevin take a listener question and turn it into an entire episode on the Mighty Ducks' proms, from a Guy and Dwayne pull date switcharoo, to Karp and Portman finding their way in, to whether Goldberg cries the most. Show notes: The whole #QuackQuestion email: The cheerleader that Mendoza is hooking up with is Mindy: Guy the ladies man: There are a total of 13 Ducks at Eden Hall by the end of D3. Paulina Gretzky was born December 19, 1988. She would've been nine at the time of this prom. Gretzky's only other daughter was born in 2003. The original Minnesota Club dinner: We talked about the Mighty Ducks crossing the line in JV/Varsity prank war in Episode 56. R.I.P. Rob Ford. Thanks to @JoshcPerry for the #QuackQuestion.

Listen to us on Stitcher. Mike, Tommy, and Kevin examine Gordon Bombay's younger years and look at how the loss of his dad coupled with him missing the penalty shot drastically altered the course of his life. They also investigate what happened to Gordon's mom. Show notes The Ducks are 0-11-1 when Gordon is talking to Hans at the Sport Shop: They then forfeit to the Flames and beat the Huskies, giving them 14 regular season games. 198/14 = 14.1 goals per game. Even if you assume the Ducks play the other nine teams twice for a total of 18 games, Bombay still averaged 11 goals per game. Bombay missing the shot: Tim Thomas the basketball player vs. Tim Thomas the hockey goalie. Bombay's speech to Banks about his dad: Gordon's dad: The other guy in Hoop Dream, William Gates. The University of Minnesota has the No. 22 law school in the country according to U.S. News and World Report. (Duke ranks 11th.) Thanks to @LukEwbank for the #QuackQuestion The Marlins weren't established until 2003. According to Wikipedia, the Dodgers' spring training home until 2008 was in Vero Beach, Florida, which is about a two-hour drive from Miami. It fits!

Listen to us Stitcher Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down Russ Tyler's eight-man street hockey crew: how they started, how they got team U.S.A. to play them and what happened after. In the process they reveal the tragic story of Russ and his brother James and how Hans fits into the whole situation. Show notes: The crew: Hector in D2 (played by Noah Verduzco) versus James Madio. James It was Steve Brill who revealed that Russ has a sporting goods store. We gave the Hans theory in Episode 11. In the end we decided that Jan ended up running Hans' Sport Shop as a legitimate business after Hans faked his death and moved to Norway. Russell Athletic is a front.

Maine is actually more Democratic than Republican. No Republican presidential nominee has carried the state since 1988, although George W. Bush hotly contested the state in 2000 and 2004. The Oreo Line: And just because: Rubio is from Miami, but Miami-Dade County is traditionally Democratic. Howard Dean: The guy with the 9-9-9 plan was Herman Cain. Let your voice be heard.

Brad talks about the crazy hockey tricks he dreamed up for Dwayne, finding enough black people for the Trinidad and Tobago team, and more. Show notes Go to bradperryhockey.com. Here is the YouTube video that Mike discovered Brad in. It's been viewed over 250,000 times. The vine was looped more than 3,000,000 times before it was taken down. The trick is also being featured on Episode 13 of Rob Dyrdek's new show 'Crashletes.' Here's Brad jumping over the net: For the unfamiliar, this is Youngblood and The Cutting Edge.

Jane reveals some information about the original Adam Banks, talks about what why she wasn't invited back for D2, and tells the story of how Paula Abdul affected the filming of the Mighty Ducks. Show Notes Go to JanePlank.com. A young Jane Plank: This is the scene Jane auditioned to: The person who replaced Tammy, Mr. Ken Wu: Jane mentions that her best friend on the set was Jusse Smollett. He actually played Terry Hall, not Jesse as she said. This is the kiss that upset Paula Abdul so much that she forced production to change their filming of it.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin take a #QuackQuestion from @crimdelacrim3_3 and turn it into a full episode on the hypothetical street fight between the Sandlot kids, the Goonies and the Mighty Ducks. Who wins and who is the MVP? Show notes Thanks to to @crimdelacrim3_3 for the #QuackQuestion that started it all. The full roster for the non-Mighty Ducks. (You should already know the Mighty Ducks roster by heart): Goonies -Andy, the cheerleader girl -Brand, the older brother -Chunk, the tubby kid who does the truffle shuffle -Data, the Asian kid who has all the booby traps -Mikey, the younger brother and main character -Mouth, the kid who talks a lot and knows Spanish -Stef, Andy's friend who loses her glasses -Sloth, the big ugly looking guy who turns on the Fratellis and becomes a Goonie. The Sandlot -Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, no explanation needed -Bertram Grover Weeks. He is this kid: -Ham, the pudgy catcher who is also in The Big Green -Kenny DeNunez, the reincarnation of Jesse Hall -Smalls, the main character -Squints, the kid with the thick glasses who talked a lot -Yeah-Yeah, the greaser kid -Timmy and Tommy Timmons, the twins. Here is the story on the Mike Vitar allegedly taking part in beating up somebody via TMZ. The exercise thing that Brand uses is called a chest expander. This is the crazy Kimmy from Full House that Kevin referred to: Here's the AT-AT falling due to the X-wing taking it down with rope. Imagine Dwayne is the X-Wing and Sloth is the tie fighter. Ham right before he bashed in nine people's heads in with that bat: Kevin was talking about harakiri, also known as seppuku. Mike was talking about Harry Caray.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin take a deep dive into Dwayne Robertson and track his journey from how he started playing hockey down in Texas to his rodeo on ice/hockey trick team after Eden Hall. They also take a #QuackQuestion from their old friend Donald Cooper NOTE: There were some technical difficulties with the first six or so minutes. I tried to fix them as best as I could. It gets better. Show notes Thanks to @garrettgreen for the topic suggestion. Dwayne wearing his Crockett jersey. Crockett, Texas is roughly three hours away from Austin. There's a whole Wikipedia section for Cattle Stampedes, so that sounds like definitive proof that Cows stampede. I couldn't find the Simpsons bit with Homer scaring the cows. Please send it if you find it. Dwayne as the victim of the shaving cream prank: This is the first time we see the rope: The analogy Kevin was looking for was: "If you want to ride in the Kentucky Derby you can't leave your prized stallion in the stable." If you're unfamiliar with the Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones' Tweet about not playing school, here it is. Aw Shucks total count: 6. Times Tommy said it before Kevin said anything: 3. Times Kevin said it: 2. Time Mike said it: 1. Pigs are apparently as smart as dogs and chimps. The original Donald Cooper email is in Episode 69. (Nice)

Mike, Tommy and Kevin welcome Mighty Ducks technical advisor and hockey trainer Jack White to the podcast. Jack shares a number of stories about training the actors, what he remembers about the original Adam Banks getting kicked off the film, how he became an actor in all three films, and more. Show notes: Paul Michael Glaser in all his glory: Eric Strobel, for those who aren't familiar with him. The original Adam Banks fired a puck at his chest. Touch and Go is a story about an ice hockey star who befriends a troubled kid and his mother after the kid's gang tried to rob him. The plot synopsis for H-E Double Hockey Sticks, taken straight from IMDB: "Griffelkin, a young devil-in-training is sent to the surface of Earth to steal the soul of Dave, a hot shot pro-hockey player aspiring to be the youngest man to win the Stanley Cup." Thanks to @ak2themax for the #QuackQuestion.

Asad and Robert from the Jocs and Docs podcast join Mike, Tommy, and Kevin, to discuss every injury in the Mighty Ducks. Could Banks really wake up and have the pain be gone? What happened with the Panthers and the measles? Could the Ducks have killed the varsity with their fire ants prank? Show Notes Check out the Jocs and Docs on Twitter, give them a five-star review on iTunes, and listen to their podcast. Karp's injury: According to the CDC, there was between 1-4 cases of the measles in Minnesota this year. Banks sliding into the post: According to this VERY VERY non-scientific website, it takes a few minutes of inhaling choloroform to knock you out.

Mark Irwin was the director of photography for D2. He talks with Mike, Tommy, and Kevin about how shooting porn gave him the connections to move up in the film world, how he dealt with cardboard cutouts as crowd members, his knucklepuck rig, and more. Show Notes This is Mark's website, where you can see some of his work. Here's his IMDB page. Some photos Mark shared with us from his time on the films: The famous Sam Z. Arkoff that Mark mentions. Mark's career took off after Blood and Guts turned into a job on Fast Company. You should all watch Youngblood which stars Rob Lowe as Dean Youngblood, a talented scorer who goes off to play juniors in Canada. FYI Sam Wiseman was the director of D2. You probably already know who Steve Brill is. The best skaters: Josh Jackson (Charlie Conway), Shaun Weiss (Greg Goldberg), Garette Ratliff Henson (Guy Germaine), Marguerite Moreau (Connie Moreau), Ty O'Neal (Dwayne Robertson), Mike Vitar (Luis Mendoza) Tim Horton played mostly for the Maple Leafs. Dick Duff played mostly for the Maple Leafs and Canadiens. Jean Beliveau played for the Canadiens. Eric Nesterenko played for the Maple Leafs and Blackhawks. Gretzky's famous melted loonie into the ice came on American soil at the 2004 Olympics in Salt Lake City. Canada actually was on in the Junior Goodwill Games the U.S. beat them on a briefly seen newspaper headline. Here's the IMDB to Diary of a Sinner, Mark's first movie. The page is SFW. "Say yes to everything. You'll end up at the North Pole, you'll end up at some sweaty strip club, you'll end up at the bottom of a uranium mine like I did. Say yes to everything because what you learn is what will teach others and those other people will take you with them." Thanks to @garrettgreen for the #QuackQuestion. Here is Belmont High School. There is an aerial picture here. To avoid any copyright infringement I'm just going to link to it. The Layover is in post production. It's slated to come out in 2016.

In part two of his interview, Steve Brill explains the crazy writing he had to do for D2, the possibilities of a D4 getting made, how the Edmonton Oilers ruined Adam Banks, and how some of the other Ducks' lives have gone since we last saw them. Show notes: You'll want to listen to Part 1. Steve Brill’s IMDB The new Ducks, including a Julie 'The Cat' Gaffney, who Brill uses to justify as the reason this terrible team can compete for the national title, even though she didn't play until the end. One of Steve Brill's favorite kids: Brill mentions that he thought Vincent LaRusso was a young Steve McQueen in Part 1 of the interview. Kenan Thompson's IMDB says his first acting credit was D2. Brill wanted a young Forest Whitaker. He got Kenan Thompson. We talked to D3 writer Jim Burnstein in Episode 52. The IMDB page for D3 shows Burnstein and Brill sharing writing credit for the screenplay. That directing role Emilio got for doing a week's worth of work in D3 appears to be 'The War at Home', starring Emilio and his father, Charlie Sheen. It's at 60 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 76 percent rating from the audience. In Time's oral history of the Mighty Ducks, Jeffrey Nordling, who ended up playing Ted Orion, said that the first Orion who washed out was Jimmy Sheridan. Brill is as upset as you are by this t-stop from Ted Orion: To recap: Adam Banks went to Minnesota, got drafted by the Oilers, played third line there, hurt his wrist, got traded to the Jets, faded, got traded to the Rangers had an amazing 14-goal playoff series and kind of faded from there. Brill was mistaken here as the first version of the Jets played their last game in 1996, when Banks just starting at Eden Hall. Maybe Calgary? Goldberg ran the deli. Russ has a sporting goods store in Los Angeles. Connie is married and lives in Orange County. She still talks with Guy. We talked about the Connie and Guy relationship in Episode Brill as Frank Huddy in D1: Brill as the guy at the party in D2: Brill as the arcade guy in D3: Thanks to @RSullPhoto for the #QuackQuestion.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin have harpooned a white whale. Mighty creator Steve Brill stops by for part one of a two-part interview. Brill discusses how his original script had an interracial romance, how he had Charlie originally missing the penalty shot and who would actually win a Hunger Games full of the Mighty Ducks. Show notes Steve Brill's IMDB The Time Magazine oral history of the Mighty Ducks. Read it if you haven't. It gives the whole story about how Steve Brill wrote the script in his apartment with Peter Berg. Frank Huddy: Gordon Bombay's first speech to the Mighty Ducks, which Brill referenced: Jake Gyllenhaal on the Mighty Ducks. We recasted the entire movie, placing him as Charlie Conway, in Episode 50. Steve Brill: Solely responsible for the Flying V A former NHL ref officially ruled that the Mighty Ducks were onside during the Flying V. The penalty shot goal that was never supposed to happen: We talked about Hawks coach Jack Reilly's suspected downfall in Episode 29. Phil Banks in his Hawks jacket at the end of D1: All our Hunger Games theories, many of which were confirmed to be true by Brill, are available in Episode 60. Stayed tuned for Part 2, where we get into D2 and D3, and what happened to the Ducks after they left Eden Hall. Twitter | Facebook | Give us a five-star review on iTunes

The duo talks with Mike, Tommy, and Kevin about their new project, Weiss getting free drinks as Goldberg, Adair getting rejected from the Little Rascals, negotiating with Ron Jeremy, and more. Show Notes: Shaun Weiss's IMDB and Sean Adair's IMDB Weiss was on Episode 53. Here is their Patreon link: patreon.com/whynotweiss. Here's their pitch video as well: Greg Goldberg in all his glory. This face has led to many free drinks. We talked about the Mighty Ducks animated cartoon in Episode 28. Danny Tamberelli's podcast, by the way, is The Adventures of Danny and Mike. Weiss played Elvis on the first season on Pee-wee's Playhouse. Weiss and Ron Jeremy: We talked about Shaun originally being cast as Atuk the Eskimo in Episode 53, so go there if you want to hear more on that. We got pretty in depth.

Mike and Tommy (Kevin is on a self-imposed suspension) talk to composer David Newman who wrote the Mighty Ducks theme and scored the music for D1. Newman gives an insight into Hollywood and explains why the theme wasn't that hard to come up with. Show notes David Newman's IMDB. And his Wikipedia. And his website. Alfred Newman's Wikipedia. David's father did this: The summary for Critters, the first movie Newman got hired for, which also happened to have eventual Mighty Ducks director Stephen Herek as director: "A race of small, furry aliens make lunch out of the locals in a farming town." The Mighty Ducks theme: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: three years after Critters, three years before Mighty Ducks. Tommy Boy: great film. David lost out on the Academy Award for Best Original Music or Comedy score to The Full Monty in 1998. Mike was looking at the Best Original Song category, where an Anastasia song lost to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. Five Flights Up came out in May. It stars Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton, as a New York couple who deal with all kinds of issues when they prepare to move away. Be on the lookout for Something Beautiful in 2016.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin turn a #QuackQuestion into a full episode as they look at how a Mighty Ducks Hunger Games scenario would play out? The gang looks at who aligns with who, who gets killed first, who wins, and a controversy involving Adam Banks erupts. Show Notes Thanks to @tknauff_ for the #QuackQuestion that spawned this whole topic. Mike did screw up the intro. It's may the odds be ever in your favor.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin welcome D3 costume designer Kim Tillman onto the podcast. Kim explains the epic amount of equipment, uniforms and clothes she was responsible for, designing Eden Hall's jerseys and the fight she had over Guy Germaine's scarf. She also talks about her reunion with Steve Brill on their most recent film. Show Notes: Thanks again to Kim Tillman for coming on. Here is her IMDB. You can see some of her work on her website, kimtillman.com. Kim spoke a lot about working with producer Jordan Kerner. We spoke with Jordan in Episode 55. A look at each kid wearing his or her favorite jersey when the team meets Coach Orion: Emilio looking regal: Kim spoke about working with Jeff Nordling a.k.a. Coach Orion and wanting him look Olympic looking. He's got a nice turtle neck/NHLPA fleece here: The lace-up practice jerseys. You can see it best on Connie. Look at the bottom of the front collar: Guy minus the scarf and upping the Indie rock vibe: Here's most of the crew in the funeral scene that Kim Talked about: Thanks to @ak2themax for the #QuackQuestion.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin try to determine what Mighty Ducks would go to jail and which ones would write a book about the experience. They also take another #QuackQuestion on an alternate universe with Jake Gyllenhaal as Charlie Conway. Show Notes Thanks to @timminer for the #QuackQuestion that started it all. Kevin argued that Connie was playing Guy the whole time in Episode 4. Guy was the lookout in D3: Kevin talked a lot about Con Air. Watch it. Or at least read the synopsis. This is the scene Kevin was talking about in the Butterfly Effect. We talked about Averman working at the movie theatre illegally in Episode 20. We talked about Julie the Cat and Connie being American sporting heros in Episode 7. The synopsis of Julie Gaffney's book: Gaffney begins her story with her childhood in Maine and how her sporting obsessed father got her into ice hockey. She wasn't good. One day, looking more to get rid of her than anything else, her youth coach put her at goalie. She took a liking to it and, more importantly, she excelled. She took her Bangor team to two straight Maine state championships before moving to a boys team. An article in the local paper about a girl playing goalie for the boys found its way into Don Tibbles' hands. He flew to Maine right away and gave her a spot on the Junior Goodwill Games team. After her goal-medal winning save she went to Eden Hall, where she started for the freshman team for a year before being moved up to varsity as a sophomore. She earns the starting job as a junior. The team lost in the state semifinals, breaking Eden Hall's streak of 12 straight state championships. Gaffney won the state championship as a senior and played four years at Maine while starting for the U.S. Women's National team at the same time. After graduation she moves to play for the national team full time, living off of endorsements. After two straight Olympic goal medals, Gaffney finds herself slowing down. Alex Rodriguez, who she meant while on a commercial shoot for Subway, gives her a cream. She finds she's able to recover a lot quicker and uses it all the time. Gaffney later learns it's a steroid but is so addicted to the feeling of freshness she gets that she keeps using it. The U.S. beats Canada its third straight Olympic gold medal. As Gaffney gets older, she needs more cream. She eventually meets the supplier in Mexico. The supplier, a man nicknamed El Dingo, offers her a discount if she helps in distributing it. Gaffney, facing the pressure of backstopping an unprecendented fourth straight gold-medal team, agrees. All goes well until she sets up a meeting to sell to what she thinks is a Cuban baseball player defecting to America to play in the MLB. It's a sting operation and Gaffney is sentenced to jail time. She misses the Olympics. The U.S. loses to Sweden in the semifinals and finishes w

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin return to take a deep dive into what the kids were doing before they became the Mighty Ducks. The trio also blows the lid off of what happened when Bombay told the limo driver to drive onto the ice. Show notes I couldn't find any information on when the first pop-top can, but I did learn a lot about the evolution of beer cans. The first pull-tab beer can came in 1962, but it looked nothing like the pop tops Tommy was talking about. This is the part in Dennis the Menace that Kevin was talking about: The most popular pill in 1992, seemed to be Prozac. According to Time magazine, Prozac had been taken by the approximately 10 million people by 1993. What are they doing on the limo? The full roster available to fight the Hawks, except for Karp: Thanks to @timminer for the #QuackQuestion. The part where Bombay utters the words that inspired the #QuackQuestion.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin go step by step through the Varsity vs. JV prank war, from the assembly through the fire ant ordeal. Who won? Did either of the sides go too far at any point. They also take a #QuackQuestion on the Air Bombay loafer. Show notes We talked about the JV/Varsity dinner in Episode 40. The beginning of the prank war: The Ducks crashing the assembly: Step 2: The horse turd brownies: Step 3: Varsity throws the Freshman clothes in the shower. Step 4: Freshman puts the liquid nitrogen on the Varsity clothes. Step 5: The Varsity pulls off the dinner. This a picture of the dinner. There looks to be about 20 people: Step 6: The Freshman drop the mic with the ants prank. This is Dwayne's mask: The school's horses are seen when Charlie and crew get their horse poop. My Girl debuted in 1991. It starred Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macauley Caulkin and Anna Chlumsky. According to IMDB it's about: "A young girl, on the threshold of her teen years, finds her life turning upside down, when she is accompanied by an unlikely friend." Thanks to @silvywavy for the #QuackQuestion This is the adidas The Kobe Two, the most futuristic of the Kobe line: Here's the original T Mac: And the T Mac 2

Mighty Ducks producer Jordan Kerner joins Mike and Tommy (Kevin is out of town) to talk managing a movie set full of kids, kicking an actor off the film, Gordon Bombay and Casey Conway getting their lips stuck together, and how Disney is preventing Mighty Ducks 4. Show notes Here's Jordan Kerner's IMDB. Fried Green Tomatoes was Jordan's ninth credit, but one of his first non-TV movies. Here's the trailer: The Jake Gyllenhaal story for those who don't remember. The moment when Emilio Estevez and Heidi Kling almost had their lips ripped off: For the uninitiated, Martin Sheen is Emilio Estevez's real-life father.

Matt Doherty (Averman) joins Mike, Tommy, and Kevin, and gives what he knows about D4 in the first five minutes. He also talks how he was cut out of Home Alone, how his dad was mistaken for a homeless man on the Mighty Ducks set, and more. Show notes: Matt's IMDB. Here's Episode 1 of South of Sunset: Here's Matt's music. And here's the trailer for Ganymede Pan: Matt was also in a horror movie called Hollows Grove. Here is the trailer: This is Gary Marshall. This is Anna Chlumsky. She plays Amy Brookheimer on Veep. Averman and his glasses: GO TO iTUNES. GIVE US FIVE STARS. WRITE A REVIEW.

Shaun Weiss, who played Greg Goldberg, joins Mike, Tommy, and Kevin to talk about how he was originally cast as an Eskimo who had one line, why his mom locked a producer in trailer, how he had diarrhea during his favorite scene, and much more. Show Notes Shaun Weiss' IMDB. Here is the first episode of Why Not Weiss: You can view the episodes as they come out here. Atuk the Eskimo. Jack White is indeed Coach Wilson in D3. This is the picture Shaun saw as a kid when he went to a different movie before the Mighty Ducks came out: You can hear Casey Garven's story about the original Adam Banks here. The guy Shaun was talking about that may or may not have almost done something that nearly got him kicked off the film may or may not be Brandon Quintin Adams, who played Jesse Hall. This is the Chiller Convention. Shaun is right. The film doesn't capture the majesty of Charlie Conway's triple deke: Here is Shaun's favorite scene, which he also had severe diarrhea for: Follow Shaun on Instagram.

Jim Burnstein, the primary writer of D3 and the Director of Screenwriting at the University of Michigan joins Mike and Tommy to discuss how he got involved in the film, why he originally had the Ducks losing, how Disney made him change it, and much more. Show notes: A little profile on Jim to get to know him better. Here's his IMDB. Here's a look a Renaissance Man, Jim's first movie. Ted Orion, who was originally Ted Hunter. For the uninitiated read all about Ted Lindsay and Orion, the hunter in Greek mythology. For reference: This is Steve Brill. The confidence speech, minus Orion throwing the puck up and catching it. While Jim was writing D3, Brill was directing Heavyweights. To be fair, it's another classic: Thanks to @ClintThrasher for the #QuackQuestion. Dean Portman's return: And Portman's dance: "He's in what grade?" The scene that Jim used the entirety of everything he learned in law school on:

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin welcome in Charlie Scudder a.k.a Chucky Scuds, a man who has never had never seen the Mighty Ducks before. Scuds discusses why he had never seen the film and his thoughts after watching before he hears some Quack Attack theories. Show notes Shoutout to Angels in the Outfield. Angels in the Endzone was a TV movie. It has an audience score of 29% on Rotten Tomatoes and no professional reviews. Jack Reilly popping his collar: This is the 30 for 30 Scudder was talking about. We talked about young Ludacris playing Averman in Episode 50. Episode 1 is the discussion on Gordon Bombay's real morals. As for Bombay's coaching, Episode 36 is titled, How good of a coach is Gordon Bombay? Hans' Sports Shop: The Hans theory is laid out in Episode 11. The movie Tommy was talking about where a guy's head is destroyed in a vice was indeed. Casino. This is the scene. It's probably NSFW. This is the scene Kevin was talking about in The Town with the florist clipping the flowers: The Mighty Ducks's production budget was $10 million. Thanks to @katshan23 for the #QuackQuestion This is the scene Mike was speaking off where Bombay says he's from Minneapolis and Banks says he's from Edina. Banks' listed address is 450 North Hennepin Ave. This is where Google says that is. Mike got Charlie's Twitter wrong. It's @cscudder.

Jake Gyllenhaal recently revealed he was picked to play Charlie Conway in the Mighty Ducks before his parents made him turn it down. In light of that Mike, Tommy, and Kevin decide to re-cast the whole movie, starting with Gyllenhaal as Conway. Show Notes: Here's Jake Gyllenhaal talking about the Mighty Ducks: For the record: Here's the sports site Mike was reading the quote from. This story says that Gyllenhaal was picked to play Charlie Conway. Eddie Murphy's list of characters in The Nutty Professor. Maggie Gyllenhaal is three years older than Jake.

He filed for divorce in December 2014. Taylor Kitsch was 11 years old when the first Mighty Ducks movie came out. This is Donkey Lips: A George Coe obituary Thanks to @graceholl21 for the #QuackQuestion. Hans' No. 11 jersey: We talked more about the media in Episode 5. The Ducks' game against Trinidad and Tobago was written about on March 1, 1994.

Casey Garven, the actor who played Hawks player Larson joined Mike, Tommy and Kevin for a podcast about how he was supposed to play Banks, which of the actors were pompous, Mighty Ducks groupies, and the one time he was recognized for being Larson. Show notes: Shoutout to Casey Garven for being an awesome dude. You can hear the jingle Casey's grandpa wrote in this Hamm's beer commercial: Here's Larson before the state championship game in the scene Casey talked about. This is the legitimate I-will-run-you-over-with-my-BMX-bike-and-eventually-my-car-when-I'm-old-enough-to-drive snarl. This was also the scene when told somebody "Shut the fuck up!' That didn't make it in the final movie. Steven Brill's full IMDB page. Reed Larson played in the NHL from 1976 to 1990. He's a Minneapolis native and the former captain of the Detroit Red Wings.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin discuss whether Fulton Reed made a mistake in forgoing football and whether any other Mighty Ducks would be good at other sports. They also take a #QuackQuestion on the Ducks' former District 5 coach. Who was he? Show notes "Is it true what they say, about the scholarships and how they won't let you play hockey?" We talked about pro potential in Episode 7. The conversation on Fulton starts at 20:59. This is The Program for those who didn't know. Dwayne Robertson's roping abilities: We talked about Kenny Wu in Episode 17. Thanks to @joyceeng61 for the #QuackQuestion. Guy's hair in D1: This is where Peter describes what happened to their former coach: Seriously, listen to our theory on Hans in Episode 11.

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin explore the five original Ducks who didn't make the Junior Goodwill Games team. Why weren't they included on the squad? Were Jesse and Terry secretly fighting over Tammy? Could they ever reconcile with the rest of the Ducks? Show Notes The five original Mighty Ducks left of the Junior Goodwill Games: 1. Tommy Duncan 2. Tammy Duncan 3. Peter Mark 4. Dave Karp 5. Terry Hall The five players they add for the Junior Goodwill Games (not including Russ Tyler, who comes later): 1. Julie Gaffney 2. Kenny Wu 3. Dean Portman 4. Luis Mendoza 5. Dwayne Robertson Razzmatazz is a real word. According to the Meriam-Webster dictionary, razzmatazz is "a noisy and exciting activity to attract attention." The Little League World Series is open to 11 to 13 year-old-players. Charlie and his Duck call: Terry's face when he's talking about Tammy: We talked about Peter Mark's feelings about being left off the U.S. team in Episode 46. We talked about Jesse Hall's trip to public school in Episode 24. Thanks to @corbettsmithDMN for the #QuackQuestion.

From participating in the dog poop prank to his giveaway in the state finals, Mark plays a understated but critical role with the Mighty Ducks. Mike, Tommy, and Kevin explore all this and then figure out what happened when the Ducks moved on without him. Show Notes The speech that Peter Mark confused: Karp looking to Peter Mark during Bombay's speech that forms the Ducks: Also, notice Peter automatically flipping his stance on the Ducks as soon as a couple other people decide to be Mighty Ducks. Does Peter Mark have a Napoleon complex? We talked about Tommy's strong stance that Dave Karp is the worst player on the Mighty Ducks in Episode 6. Peter blowing it in the finals against the Hawks: If you're unfamiliar familiar with Hans' empire, listen to Episode 11. Kevin compares Peter Mark and Dave Karp to the two dudes in My Name is Earl. He means Peter Mark is this guy (Earl): And that Karp is this guy (Randy): Shoutout to Rachel Sullivan for the #QuackQuestion. Go to rachelsullivanphotography.com. We spoke about Orion's job being solely about developing players in Episode 37 and Episode 38.
Wed, June 17, 2015
Mike, Tommy, and Kevin debate who would've done the best job as a child actor had these documentaries been made into feature-length films. They also take on the greatest #QuackQuestion to date: Were any players on the Mighty Ducks secretly gay? Show notes: The full list of actors and their characters can be found at the IMDb pages for each film: D1 D2 D3 Kenan Thompson started his career with D2 in 1994, then got All That the same year. His next two movies were Heavyweights and D3. Kenan didn't get Kenan and Kel until 1996. "I woke up, and the pain was gone." We talked about Banks' inner demons in Episode 12. This is what Aaron Schwartz, the kid who played Karp, looks like now: All the child actors in the Mighty Ducks appear to be alive, based on cursory Google searches. Michael Cudlitz, who played Cole, the blonde-haird bully on Varsity, is Sgt. Abraham Ford in The Walking Dead. Thanks to @wolffchele for the #QuackQuestion. Connie and Guy making out at the end of D1:

In the conclusion of this two-part podcast, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin discuss the 'Ducks Fly Together' speech at the end of D2 and Coach Orion's 'It starts with a 'W'' speech in D3. They then pick the best speech and answer the #QuackQuestion, courtesy of @graceholl21. Show notes: You should really listen to Episode 43 before this one. Ducks fly together: It starts with a 'W': We talked about Coach Orion developing players instead of winning in Episode 37 and Episode 38. Here is a bonus speech:
Wed, June 03, 2015
Show notes: Shoutout to @katshan23 for suggesting the topic. Speech No. 1: Bombay clearly standing in front of a Cardinals logo, proving he's giving his speech before the Cardinals game: Quack...quack..quack: Bombay's third speech, speaking to the team during detention:

Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down Gordon Bombay's cheating tactics. They examine who was in, who was out, and they figure out the best way to rig a peewee hockey game. Plus, they take a #QuackQuestion relating to Gunnar Stahl. Show notes: We discussed Bombay's penchant for turning to cheating in Episode 1. This is Karp's face when he's storming out after Jessie's dad comes in to yell at Gordon about cheating: Goldberg pleading with the refs: Connie being forced to trip Guy: Kevin wasn't that far off from the ref's pay. A ref is probably making $35-$40 game for a peewee game. If you're unsure on how much we know about Hans, listen to Episode 11. Thanks to @kating9 for our #QuackQuestion Gunnar Stahl: And Scooter:

Mike, Tommy and Kevin look at the qualfying process for the hockey portion of the Junior Goodwill Games. They break down how non-traditional powers Trinidad and Tobago and Iceland qualified and introduce a new feature, the #QuackQuestion. Show notes: The full list of teams: The 2014 Olympics had the 9 top teams in the IIHF World Ranking automatically qualify and the rest of the teams played a tournament to determine the final three teams. Cool Runnings came out on October 3, 1993. We talked about Iceland in Episode 2. The Ivan Hlinka Tournament actually has no bearing on the rankings of the next World Juniors because the Ivan Hlinka is unsanctioned by the IIHF. The U18 World Championships have a much bigger bearing on the rankings. We talked about Don Tibbles' marketing prowess in Episode 21. The United States won bronze in Olympic basketball in 2004. The demographics of Iceland, Sweden, USA, Trindad and Tobago, Germany, Russia, Italy, France, Denmark, Canada. I will not list all the info here. You can click the links. Italy has a prime minister and a president. The president is the head of state, and he names the Prime Minister. The President of Italy in 1994 was Oscar Luigi Scalfaro. He was succeeded by Carlo Azeglio Ciamp who was succeeded by Giorgio Napolitano who was succeeded by the the current president of Italy, Sergio Mattarella. You can write the bios yourself. Hungary is a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Japan's best result in International Competition came in 1930, when they finished sixth in the world championship. The 1930 Japan men's ice hockey national team roster is not available.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin take another deep dive, this time into the JV/Varsity dinner. How much did Banks know & when? Did Guy have a chance to stop the whole thing before it happened but was too dumb to realize it? The Ducks' retaliation is also discussed. Show notes: If you don't remember, this is Cole: The Ducks in D3, not including Banks who was on Varsity and Portman who didn't show up until the second period of the JV/Varsity showdown: Lester/Dave Averman Charlie Conway Julie "The Cat" Gaffney Guy Germaine Greg Goldberg Luis Mendoza Connie Moreau Fulton Reed Dwayne Robertson Russ Tyler Ken Wu Here's a look at the dinner. Can you spot more than 20 people? This is Banks' look when he's called up to leave. This is the guy's look who hands Charlie the Check: According to the Tax Policy Center, the minimum wage in Minnesota in 1996 was $4.25. The Minnesota High School Equestrian Association lists 34 schools with teams, not including Eden Hall. Water polo numbers are harder to come by, but there appears there are four water polo clubs in the entire state of Minnesota.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin dive deep into the pivotal moment of the first Mighty Ducks: Charlie's penalty shot. Did Bombay's speech to Charlie do more bad than good? Was Guy just as nervous as Charlie? Answers to those questions and more. Show Notes: Episode 1 if you haven't listened to it by now. The pivotal scenes: Mike was actually referencing Rule 406, not 416. Here is the full rule for your perusal. Karp holding Charlie's helmet USA Hockey Rule 610. USA Hockey rule 304 deals with helmets and safety equipments Bombay's face of regret? Here's what happened to give Charlie the breakaway. The Hawks' Stevens passes to his defense partner Morgan, who takes the puck, skates back to the other side of the ice and takes a shot. Goldberg makes the save. Peter Mark picks up the rebound and gives it to Connie. Since Morgan skated across the ice, the Hawks have two defensemen on the same side. Charlie sees this and skates to open ice. The closest player to him is Larson, who is a forward. Larson is trying to recover for Morgan's mistake. Morgan shouldn't have skated across the ice with the shot. When he did, Stevens should've given up the blue line and bailed back to prevent the exact breakaway Charlie got.
Thu, April 23, 2015
In part two, Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down the likability, tactics, of Ted Orion, Gordon Bombay, Jack Reilly, Wolf Stansson and Coach Wilson, of the varsity. At the end, they come up with their final coach rankings. Show notes: Our Facebook page is Facebook.com/quackattackpod We argued about Gordon Bombay's intentions in Episode 1. The scene Tommy was talking about where the team rushes to Bombay's aid: Gunnar turning on Stansson at the end: Likability rankings: 1. Orion (5 points) 2. Bombay (4 points) 3. Wilson (3 points) 4. Stansson (2 points) 5. Reilly (1 point) For the record it's Adam Banks who slaps it between the goalie's legs on Charlie's play. We talked about Stansson's rift with his Iceland team beginning with the Russia game in Episode 2. Tactics rankings: 1. Wilson (5 points) 2. Bombay (4 points) 3. Stansson (3 points) 4. Reilly (2 points) 5. Orion (1 point. Final rankings: 1. Wilson (17 points) 2. Bombay (16 points) 3. Stansson (15 points) 4. Orion (14 points) 5. Reilly (13 points)
Wed, April 15, 2015
In part 1 of 2, Mike, Tommy and Kevin introduce the criteria for figuring out who the best coach is and then rate Wolf Stansson, Gordon Bombay, Varsity Coach Wilson, Ted Orion and Jack Reilly on player development, roster selection and preparation. Show Notes: This is Iceland's hockey history. We also talked about this in Episode 2. We talked about the worst Ducks in Episode 6. Tommy picked Karp as the worst player. Kevin picked Dwayne. Mike is actually the one who picked Tommy Duncan. Results: Player Development 1. Orion (5 points) 2. Reilly (4 points) 3. Bombay (3 points) 4. Stansson (2 points) 5. Wilson (1 point) Roster selection 1. Reilly (5 points) 2. Wilson (4 points) 3. Stansson (3 points) 4. Bombay (2 points) 5. Orion (1 points) Preparation 1. Stansson (5 points) 2. Wilson (4 points) 3. Bombay (3 points) 4. Orion (2 points) 5. Reilly (1 point) Standings to date: 1T. Stansson (10 points) 1T. Reilly (10 points) 3. Wilson (9 points) 4T. Orion (8 points) 4T. Bombay (8 points)
Wed, April 08, 2015
Gordon Bombay's teams start slow. Sometimes his players hate him. He runs a lot of gimmicks. Yet he wins. In this episode Mike, Tommy and Kevin discuss whether Bombay is a coaching genius or just extremely lucky, because it's one or the other. Show notes: We talked about the time frame from movie to movie when we examined what happened to the Ducks between D1 and D2 in Episode 20. Bombay's football drill. Notice that Mike was wrong. Goldberg was getting some warmup shots in in the background: Charlie not giving in to Bombay's first gimmick: cheating. Bombay does ask the Ducks who should take the penalty shot. His exact words: "Alright Ducks, who's going to take it?" The episode where we talked about Bombay putting Julie in for Goldberg for the final penalty shot was Episode 33: What if the Mighty Ducks/Team USA lost to Iceland?
Wed, April 01, 2015
Mike, Tommy and Kevin discuss Russ Tyler's rapid rise from kid in South Central to International celebrity, then break down Russ's journey to Europe and his lucrative business running a knuckle puck academy. Show notes RUSS TYLER: Wayne Gretzky was traded in 1988. The Junior Goodwill Games took place in 1994, so it's conceivable that Russ Tyler picked up the game due to Gretzky's presence in Los Angeles. The White Men Can't Jump characters Kevin was referring to were in fact Duck and King. Russ sends team USA to the finals with his goal against Russia. The USA TODAY cover proclaiming Russ a hometown hero: The Tom Emanski commercial featuring Fred McGriff: Most of the street hockey scene. Notice how Russ and James' boys throw checks and score goals, proving Kevin's theory that they didn't do anything in the entire scene wrong: The IMDB page for Finding Forrester if you're like Mike and haven't seen it.
Wed, March 25, 2015
In the conclusion of their revisionist history trilogy, Mike, Tommy and Kevin wonder what would have happen had the Ducks not won the Varsity/Junior Varsity Showdown. Among the topic discussed: What happens to the Warriors nickname and which Ducks leave school. Show notes: The first two episode of the trilogy: What if the Mighty Ducks lost to the Ducks? What if the Mighty Ducks/Team USA lost to Iceland? The part where Coach Orion tells Charlie that if they hold them they have a tie: If you want to relieve Charlie looking to Gordon and Gordon looking to Charlie and then looking up as the Eden Hall Ducks banner falls, it's right here. The full story about the University of North Texas becoming nicknamed the Mean Green after Mean Joe Greene. A note on the scholarships: At the beginning of the movie, Eden Hall's Dean Buckley says he is awarding the Ducks on full athletic scholarships. We assumed the JV/Varsity showdown was a mid-season event in Episode 3.
Thu, March 19, 2015
In part two of three, Mike, Tommy and Kevin present a world in which the Mighty Ducks lose to Iceland. They identifiy the Ducks' goat, how Iceland's win sets up a 20-year climb into a world power and the fallout of the loss for Bombay and Tibbles. Show notes: The jumping off point. Say Gunnar Stahl hits this shot: We talked shootout order in Episode 13 grab bag. Averman's movie theater work has been deconstructed here and here. In Episode 2, we talk about Iceland's loss to Russia and how that affected the Stahl-Stansson movie. It's also the episode where Mike doesn't know what Iceland's flag look like. Iceland actually has an extradition treaty with the United States. The country granted Fischer citizenship in Iceland because they thought he was being treated unfairly by U.S. and Japanese authorities. Because of his citizenship he couldn't be extradited.
Wed, March 11, 2015
It's time to enter a new world. Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down what would've happend had Charlie missed his penalty shot and the Mighty Ducks lost in overtime. Does Gordon Bombay return? Are the Ducks back for another season? What happens to the Hawks? Show notes: The jumping off point: Charlie's penalty shot. Pay special attention to Bombay's speech and the team clamoring for Guy to take the shot: We discussed Bombay never relinquishing his win-at-all-costs attitude in Episode 1. Tibbles' influence on the Team USA's Junior Goodwill Games roster was discussed in Episode 21. Larson obviously knows taking out Banks was wrong. You can see it here: But does he squeal if the Hawks win? McGill would probably be in the Minnesota Correctional Facility -- St. Cloud. McGill does only get two minutes for cross-checking. The fist bump from Reilly probably caused suspicions among the league, though:
Wed, February 25, 2015
Mike, Tommy and Kevin profile Lester/Dave Averman. They attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery of his first name, the mystery of his relationship with the team, the mystery of his life as a student at Eden Hall and more. Show notes: Gordon meeting the team and calling Averman, "Dave": Averman's "Hey batter" routine, turned into "Hum goalie", with some bonus Scandinavian-like subtitles: Here's the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry rules on minors under the age of 14 working. So Averman was working illegally, unless he was getting paid in candy like we said: Coach Orion's contentious start with Averman:
S30 Enull · Fri, February 20, 2015
In part one of our two part series on the Hawks, Mike, Tommy and Kevin talked about Jack Reilly. In the conclusion they talk about everything: what the parent's thoughts are about Reilly, why the team turned on Banks, why Larson quit hockey and more.
Wed, February 11, 2015
Mike, Tommy and Kevin tackle Jack Reilly's life. Topics span from his start as the Hawks coach, whether he actually might've helped Gordon Bombay, what his discipline would be for putting a hit on a kid, and how he fell into a happy ending.
Wed, January 28, 2015
Mike, Tommy and Kevin take a deep dive into the Mighty Ducks cartoon. After watching the two trailer episodes, they attempt to rehash what they saw and describe a back story that involves enslavement, invisible dinosaurs and terrible Duck puns.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin break down the Mighty Ducks' look from the time they were a rag tag group of D-5ers to Team USA to the Eden Hall Mighty Ducks. They also weigh on the Hawks, Iceland and Trinidad and Tobago's looks as well.
Wed, January 14, 2015
Take out the Hawks, Iceland and the varsity. Mike, Tommy and Kevin break down every other team the Ducks played throughout the three document-- err films. There's even another crazy Hans theory.
Wed, January 07, 2015
On a very special 25th episode, Mike, Tommy and Kevin give their 25 best quotes from the Mighty Ducks. The crew discusses and puts into context everything from "Cake Eater" to "Something about a shrinking sphincter" Show notes: The full list of quotes: "I'm sure Uncle Aaron will be very upset to hear we've been treated with such disrespect" -- Greg Goldberg "No! It was me!" -- Dean Portman "We either play...or play around" -- Greg Goldberg "Cake Eater" -- Jesse Hall "Yes sir, Mr. Ducksworth. Thank you very much, Mr. Ducksworth. Quack, quack, quack, Mr. Ducksworth!" -- Gordon Bombay "Quack....quack...quack...Quack." -- Everybody "Why'd you turn against me, Gordon? For six year, I taughtcha how to skate, I taughtcha how to score, I taughtcha how to go for the "W'. You could've been one of the greats! And now look at yourself. You're not a has been. You're a never was." -- Coach Jack Reilly "Because it's not worth winning if you can't win big!" -- Coach Jack Reilly "Keep swingin', maybe you'll give them a cold" -- Gordon Bombay "Did USA always dominate?" -- Fulton Reed "Get outta here before we use your eyeballs for hockey pucks" -- Jesse Hall "GOLDBERG!" -- Everybody "What happened to freedom of speech? Isn't this America?" -- Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson "What it is, it's a loafer. And we'll call it the Air-Bombay loafer. For kids who want to coach!" -- Gordon Bombay "Hey Goldberg! I bet if that puck was cheeseburger you'd stop it!" -- Russ Tyler "Team USA's going down, that's where you're going" -- Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson "You lost it for yourself! Let's go shake their hands." -- Gunnar Stahl "My knee will heal. But if I become someone I'm not. If I sink to their level, then I've lost more than my knee." -- Gordon Bombay "Good work Captain Duck." -- Gunnar Stahl "Every time you touch the ice, remember that it was Hans who taught us to fly." -- Gordon Bombay "I told him that you were the heart of the team and that you would learn something from each other. I told him that you were the real Minnesota Miracle Man." -- Gordon Bombay "You guys are not skating like Warriors. You look like something else. You look like Ducks." -- Coach Ted Orion "Something about a shrinking sphincter." -- Russ Tyler "Waiter I have too many forks...I only need one...Y'all...It's just.. Hey, what's this li'l bitty one for?" -- Dwayne Robertson "After we beat you, the Warriors die and the Ducks fly." -- Russ Tyler We talked about how much Goldberg sucked in Episode 22: Goldberg vs. Julie the Cat. This is a Yodel: Marcus Mariota doesn't have a Twitter.

Mike, Tommy and Kevin break down Jesse Hall. Did his continual blowouts at Bombay endear himself to his teammates or turn him into a cancer? Really how good is he? In answering these questions the three Quack Attackers stumble upon Jesse's sad final fate. Show Notes: "Episode 5: Breaking down the media covering the Ducks" is the episode that's clarified at the beginning Jesse Hall stepping to Gordon on Day 1: Jesse was the second player to walk out on Bombay, after Peter Mark. In our pro potential episode, (Episode 7) we said Jesse might dip his toes in the NHL, but not make it. We said all agreed he would go to play in Europe if he chooses to go that path. If doesn't choose that path we have him slated to returning to help his community, possibly as a coach.
Wed, December 24, 2014
It's time for another grab bag episode? Mike, Tommy and Kevin cover a variety of topics from Tibbles' party and Gordon Bombay's loafer to Goldberg's Deli and why the Ducks have a conjoined locker room for boys and girls. Show Notes: The guy at the part was indeed Steven Brill, the writer of the movie and also Frankie Boy in D1. The main tickler was indeed Goldberg. Wu was on shaving cream duty. Aaron Spelling was an American film and television producer. He died in 2009. Goldberg is the only one who claims Spelling as an uncle. Could Goldberg have stopped the final shot? This is Goldberg's Deli. Their new logo: We talked about Connie and Guy in Episode 4 We talked about Hans' power in Episode 11.
Wed, December 17, 2014
It's the great debate of our time: Julie the Cat or Goldberg? OK, maybe it isn't. Julie was better. Still, Mike, Tommy and Kevin track the relationship and rivalry of Julie and Goldberg from the first time they meet in D2 through the end of D3 and beyond. Show notes: Julie the Cat dominating right away: It was either 5-0, or 5-1 when Julie the Cat came in the game and did her stunt. The announcer says after an Iceland goal that the score is 4-1, but in the next scene the cameras show the scoreboard and it reads 4-0. Goldberg hell bent on making his teammate worse: We talked about Fulton Reed as the Mighty Ducks' true leader in Episode 8. The discussion about Julie the Cat as one of our greatest Olympians is in Episode 7.
Wed, December 10, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin approach D2 from Don Tibbles' perspective. In tracking Tibbles from his first meeting with Gordon Bombay to his approving head nod at the end of the film/documentary, they discover what can only be classified as a success story. Show notes: Don Tibbles! Our introduction to him: http://i.imgur.com/PJmUhgA.gif Mike Babcock was in college at McGill University in 1994, so he would've been too young for to coach Team USA. One other point that Mike failed to mention: Mike Babcock is Canadian. That's not the best thing when you're trying to market a coach of Team USA. Averman and Goldberg. Very marketable: http://i.imgur.com/APCklXq.gif Our discussion on Kenny Wu was Episode 17. Wheaties is a branch of General Mills. This is what Wheaties look like: Don Tibbles rushing to Gordon's aid after Stansson slashes Bombay. Tibbles quacking after the jersey change: http://i.imgur.com/jo3NI18.gif Don Tibbles approves: http://i.imgur.com/qC6afdN.gif

Using clues from the films, Mike, Tommy and Kevin determine just how long the time period was between the Mighty Ducks movies, and what events in that gray area paved the way for some to join Junior Goodwill Games team while others disappeared. Show Notes: It's time to get the crew back together! Charlie in D1 telling Bombay how he runs off his mom's boyfriends. Basil McRae: According to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, a minor under 14 cannot be employed except as a newspaper carrier, in agriculture (with parental consent), an actor, a model or a youth athletic program referee. So this: Is illegal, unless of course, Averman lied about his age (as we suspected) and got away with it. Tommy wonders if the movie theater Averman works in is a mom-and-pop shop. Averman works at General Cinema, a (now-defunct) corporation that had 621 theatres in its prime, so the answer is no. "Our son the goalie"
Wed, November 26, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin look at the other side of Gordon Bombay's life: his work as a lawyer. The discussion covers Gordon's tactics, his exit, Mr. Ducksworth, and Ducksworth's relationship with the seemingly omnipresent Hans. Show notes: Frankie boy! The moment Ducksworth makes Gordon Bombay the highest paid youth coach in history: Seriously, you're going to need to listen to the Hans episode if you want to fully understand the second half of this episode. This is Jane: The words that killed the Ducksworth-Bombay relationship:
Wed, November 19, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin break down the New York Times' reviews of the three Mighty Ducks movies in an effort to get in a Twitter beef with the reviewers and the NYT. The reviewers seemed to hate the movies, but is there criticism founded? Show Notes The Rotten Tomatoes score for The Mighty Ducks: 15% for the critics. The Rotten Tomatoes score for D2: 21 percent from the critics. The Rotten Tomatoes score for D3: 20 percent from the critics. Janet Maslin's review of The Mighty Ducks in the New York Times on October 2, 1992. Caryn James' review of D2: The Mighty Ducks in the New York Times on March 25, 1994. Lawrence Van Gelder's review of D3: The Mighty Ducks in the New York Times on October 4, 1996. The Ducks only knock one lady in a fountain, and Fulton does it accidentally. Goldberg also steals some guy's food: Janet doesn't seem to like this scene: Here's a link to all the uniforms the Anaheim Ducks have had in their history.
Wed, November 12, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin discuss the third Bash Brother, Mr. Kenny Wu. They discuss his upbringing as an elite figure skater, Don Tibbles' pitch to move him to hockey, his coming doom after fighting a goalie and much more. Show notes: WU WU WU KENNY WU! Kenny Wu introduced, where Don Tibbles explains how he convinced him to play hockey: D2 Stats The Ducks beat Italy 11-0. The Grab Bag episode where we talked about the shootout lineup was Episode 13. Tommy does bring up Wu in the episode and says he would either put Wu or Connie at No. 4. Kevin puts Kenny Wu at No. 3. Mike leaves him out of his shootout lineup. Kenny Wu was not listed on in the double results. There is no information on Wu's ancestry. But there is some indication that the name "Wu" has a Chinese connection.
Wed, November 05, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin peel back the curtain on the original Mighty Ducks team and take a look at the families behind the Ducks. From Karp's loving family to Banks' brother David, they uncover a lot that explains the real reasons behind the kids' actions. Show notes: Jesse telling Gordon that this is a drug-free zone: Where Casey Conway works: If you're unfamiliar with the backstory between Hans and Charlie's father, listen to Episode 11. For more on the Adam Banks/Phil Banks relationship head over to Episode 12. Definitive proof that Tammy Duncan is in the classroom with Tommy: Talk about Goldberg's deli as a front for Hans' empire is also in Episode 11. The point where Karp looks to Peter Mark for guidance. Notice Peter's clothes are way too big for him:
Wed, October 29, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin break down the evolution of the Ducks' fan base, from the empty stands in D-5's first game under Gordon Bombay to the Ducks swinging the entire crowd in the Varsity-JV showdown. Show notes: GO TO ITUNES. GIVE US FIVE STARS. Episode 3 when we talk about Eden Hall's fans The game with the Cardinals. The stands are filled. Watch Karp's dad spill the popcorn: Karp's dad hugging Karp after the Ducks beat the Hawks in the state championship: The backstory on Hans' relationship with the Bombay and Conway families. It was Episode 11. Episode 2 explains the "rife strife" between Gunnar Stahl and Wolf Stansson.
Wed, October 22, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin breakdown the interesting relationship between the Bash Brothers: Dean Portman and Fulton Reed. Do their antics fire up the team or only lead to bad penalties? Are they good for each other or bad influences? Show Notes: Portman being introduced to Fulton Reed. Fulton and Portman jammin out before going to bed. Portman's statistics from D2: 7 GP, 1 G, 0 A, 0 P, 14 PIM Fulton's statistics from D2: 7 GP, 1 G, 2 A, 3 P, 2 PIM (Thanks again to Flargalarg for the stats) Two minutes for ... roping? Portman is kicked out of the first Iceland game because of his hit against Stahl, not Sanderson as Tommy says. There is also no "intent to injure" line by the ref. That comes later and isn't addressed at Portman. Part of the second period of the second Iceland game, where the Bash Brothers go wild: We talked about Fulton Reed in Episode 8. Portman returns!
Wed, October 15, 2014
It's a special grab bag episode! Instead of one topic Mike, Tommy and Kevin did three quick hitters. First they discussed what the order should've been for the Ducks in the D2 shootout. Second was whether Don Tibbles made the right choices in constructing Team USA. Third was a debate about announcer Josh in D3 and his aptitude. Show Notes: Here's the Mighty Ducks 2 shootout (kind of): Don Tibbles' assembly of newbies that was more for the marketing than for the winning the Junior Goodwill games: Josh and Paul Kariya in D3: Josh actually mentions that Kariya is visiting friends in the Twin Cities area, so that's why he's in town. Contrary to what Mike thought, there is no mention that Kariya is an alumnus of Eden Hall. Mike was also saying this was '94. D3 was actually 96. He knows this, he was just thinking about Don Tibbles' roster construction.
Wed, October 08, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin track Adam Banks' growth from evil kid on the Hawks to hero on the Ducks to varsity prankster to willing JV participant. It's been quite a character arc. They also talk about Banks' suspected drug use and Mike tells the story about how a lady at Target thought he was high. Show Notes: Adam Banks looking sinister in the first game between the Ducks and the Hawks: Phil Banks sitting in the Hawks section in the championship game: Banks pointing at the goal in the middle of a blowout game: Banks' miracle recovery:
Wed, October 01, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin start with a discussion on Hans, his sport shop and the role his the youth hockey league before they pull the thread and discover the the old man's secret life. Show Notes: You'll probably need to listen to the slight talk about Hans in Episode 10. Hans in the middle of the Ducks celebration: The mean headline about a young Gordon Bombay: "Hawks' Gordon Bombay misses penalty shot in O.T." (Bombay actually tells Charlie later on that he missed the penalty shot at the end of regulation, but we'll ignore that for now.) Hans' response: "It's important to remember the past." Bombay did indeed ask for $15,000 from Mr. Ducksworth. Hans' cash register shows only $7,242.08. Mike was wrong about Finland being a Scandinavian country. It's a Nordic country but not a Scandinavian country, according to the great Wikipedia.
Wed, September 24, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin attempt to figure out how the league the Ducks play in operates and uncover some shady things. They also provide a definitive answer as to why the No. 8 seed Ducks didn't play the No. 1 seed Hawks in the first round of the playoffs. Show Notes: Tommy got the group started on a discussion about how its a tradition for the state tournament to be held in the North Stars' arena. Except now games were held there. Evidence: Mr. Ducksworth's exact line: "Actually Phil is one of my oldest friends." Tommy was wrong again. 450 North Hennepin Avenue. The distance between Lake Calhoun and 450 N. Hennepin Ave: 12 miles. Adam Banks saying he's from Edina, Minnesota The district map: What we know: The Ducks are District 5. The Hawks are District 6. Hans points to the southwest corner of District 5 when he says the lake isn't the boundary anymore, right on the line of District 5 and District 6. The Cardinals are in Coon Rapids, which is District 3. (If you look at the building the Ducks are in, it's painted red and clearly says Coon Rapids.) The Huskies are in Minnetonka, which is to the west, making them District 9. Here's the bracket: What we eventually agreed upon at the end was a North/South alignment for the playoffs, with the top half being the north and the bottom half being the west. Do that and everything makes sense. Here's the bracket with the seeding: Draw a line right down the middle and you have a north region -- Districts 5, 2, 3, 10 -- and a South region -- 6, 4, 8, 7. Then District 9 and the undistricted team could be slotted in either region, depending on who makes the playoffs.
Wed, September 17, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin track Gordon Bombay's dealings with women through the years and try to figure out what became of his many relationships. They also try to figure out if Bombay ever left behind his playboy ways and settled down. Show Notes: Minnehaha Park: 10 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. After the podcast, Mike did discover a Minnehaha, Washington, which is right by the Oregon/Washington border. If that was the place Gordon went, the greyhound bus trip makes a whole lot more sense. Gordon Bombay and Maria's first meeting: Maria Ellingsen a.k.a Marria a.k.a "Iceland Chick": Born in Iceland. "It's not a shoe. It's a loafer."
Wed, September 10, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin track Fulton's Reed life from street kid to Mighty Ducks stalwart. Is he the true leader of the Ducks and deserving of the 'C'? Also, the crew gives their theories on what happened to Fulton after the Ducks left Eden Hall. Show Notes: "People talk. It don't mean nothing." Guy, Jesse and Fulton stealing the zamboni Two minutes for roping:
Wed, September 03, 2014
Thanks to an email from one of you, Mike, Tommy and Kevin go through the Mighty Ducks roster and determine the pro potential for each player. Does Conway do enough to get himself drafted? Can Adam Banks put himself in position to be picked No. 1 overall? Show Notes Guy Germaine's "superstar looks:" Andy Miele. Look at those college stats. Here's the most recent story of the U.S. women's national team playing against, and losing to some boys high school teams. The Josh Hamilton story, for those that don't know it. Mike was wrong about how many high school players were taken in the 2000 draft. There were seven, but only two from Minnesota High Schools. Paul Martin was indeed the first high school player taken when the Devils drafted him in the second round, 62nd overall.
Wed, August 27, 2014
Mike, Tommy, Kevin look at the stats, the coaching, the tangibles and the intangibles as they try to figure out which person was the worst player on the Mighty Ducks. Show Notes: The D2 stats from Reddit user Flargalarg. Ken Wu had three points in D2: Two goals and one assists. He does not score in D3. Goldberg's save percentage in D2 was actually lower than what Mike said. It was .438. Peter Mark after he lost Brown and allowed the Hawks' third goal: Peter Mark gets pickpocket on the Hawks' fourth goal: Averman's goal and three assists were from the first two movies combined. He also added two assists in D3 when the Warriors play the Blake Bears.
Wed, August 20, 2014
Mike, Tommy and Kevin actually do some research. They figure out what the articles written about the Ducks actually say and break them down with their journalistic eyes. They also theorize on how the media affects the Ducks' psyche. Show notes: Let's Play Hockey: Real magazine. Article No. 1: Ducks tie Cardinals, 2-2: (Notice "Germaine" spelled wrong in the headline.) The inside article: "Panthers season in jeopardy", with a story on the mysterious Adam Garin. After the Ducks beat the Huskies: Article No. 3, after the Ducks advance to the semifinals: Article No. 4: The preview of the Mighty Ducks-Hawks matchup with the sweet photo of Reilly and Bombay: The recap of the championship game in D2: "USA DOWNS TRINIDAD" and it's filler text:

Mike, Tommy and Kevin talk discuss the Connie and Guy relationship: Is Connie playing Guy? Does it last or were there signs of the end in D3? How would a break affect the locker room dynamic? Download in iTunes Show Notes: Guy and Connie having an intense 12-year-old make out session in D1: Connie getting in Guy's face after the tie with the Blake Bears: The fall of the relationship? The Connie and Guy argument when the freshman team released the fire ants on the varsity:
Wed, August 06, 2014
It's Episode 3 which means it's time to talk D3. Mike, Tommy and Kevin talk all about Eden Hall Academy. Is it truly a culture of excess? What's the reason the fans turned on their varsity team in the JV/Varsity Showdown? Is Dean Buckley slimy, meek or both? Download from iTunes. Show Notes There's not much that needs explaining. Changing the tradition of a school after half a season: Dean Buckley:
Wed, July 30, 2014
It's Iceland week! Mike, Tommy and Kevin discuss the rise of Icelandic hockey, Wolf Stansson's coaching, the best Iceland player not named Gunnar Stahl, the controversial Russia game that was the fall of the dynasty and more. Download in iTunes. Show Notes: Here is the Iceland page on icehockey.wikia.com. According to Hockey Reference, no person born in Iceland has played in the NHL. If you're unfamiliar with the Danny Almonte situation. This podcast was recorded at an earlier date, so the IIHF World Championships are over. Iceland does indeed have a national team. They are in Division II and they finished second to Estonia at the most recent Division II Tournament with one win, three overtime wins and no losses. The Jamaican Ice Hockey Federation started in 2011 and was accepted into the IIHF in 2012. The turn by Gunnar at the end of the movie: At certain point we got into Julie the Cat's exploits with Scooter, the goalie from D3. Mike and Kevin thought there Julie and Scooter went beyond just a kiss on the cheek. They were wrong. Tommy was right. Here's the only action between the two at the end of D3.
Sat, May 31, 2014
Mike, Tommy, and Kevin ring in the inaugural Quack Attack Podcast with the discussion on the actions on Gordon Bombay in D1. Does he learn from his mistakes? Or is he still kind of a douche? A deep discussion on how much should be expected of Bombay and how fast it should be expected ensues. View in iTunes. Show notes: The size of Hans' Sport Shop. Is it a drug front? Welcoming the Ducks: Mike was wrong about the final player on the ice for the penalty shot. The five on the ice were Conway, Germaine, Moreau, Averman and Peter Mark, not Karp. Peter Mark and Karp are basically on the same level, so no harm done. The final scene: The case for Gordon Bombay not learning anything at all He doesn't believe in his team's players. All he does is pull in ringers, from Fulton Reed to Tommy and Tammy Duncan to Adam Banks. He found a technicality in the rules in order to rip Adam Banks away from his friends and then refuses to agree to a deal that seemed to be best for the kid. He eventually loses his job because he didn't want to admit he was wrong. Everything he does is in an effort for him to look better. His selfishness shows when he puts his name ahead of the Mighty Ducks on the jumbotron at the North Stars game. He's trying to win now instead of actually developing players like Fulton. He quits after the Mighty Ducks refuse to play for him. One sign of adversity and he's out the door. He gives Charlie the penalty shot just because he's banging Charlie's mom. He bails on the kids at the end of the film by leaving for the minor leagues. The case for Gordon Bombay being a changed man He helped a bunch of underprivileged win a championship. He supposedly learned life lessons and taught them to the kids. Getting all the ringers was best for the rest of the team and thus the collective good. It might've been Mike Modano and Basil McRae who put up the message at the North Stars game. If he doesn't quit, the team might not continue playing hockey, which could lead them to a life of crime. He loses a six-figure job for coaching these kids. If he was truly all about winning, he would've let Guy take the shot. Guy had the best chance of making it. While bettering his position with Casey Conway, Gordon Bombay giving Charlie the penalty shot was also a bit of a selfless act. He lowered his chances of winning in order to give Charlie an opportunity to gain confidence and become a better person.
