The_Admiral Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The only problem I have with habitual Mighty Ducks throwbacking is my general problem with throwing back to your previous uniforms that several of your current players already wore.

Funky Bunky Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 That was my favorite game I've ever been to. With the turnout of people wearing old/buying new Mighty merchandise, I wouldn't be surprised if they do this once a year or so.I was surprised at the boos Bobby got. Maybe everyone was just too amped up on the eggplant to be sentimental. Also, Vatanen looked pretty bad. He was getting rocked whenever he got near the puck. Other than that Ottawa played like a bunch of poopy pants.Yeah, I don't know what the hell that was about. I clapped for him, and gave him a cheer as he left the ice for warmups (as many did then, not after the goal.)He got traded, he didn't leave. He was a very productive player and, what I thought, was a fan favorite for a good time here in Anaheim. He finally got to take the stain off that #9, He was never a malcontent or said anything bad about Anaheim during his time here or since he was traded. I was actually very surprised he didn't get one of those "Welcome Back" video montages or even just a still frame for the fans to acknowledge him. I don't know. Whatever, I appreciated him. And I'll probably wear my Bobby Ryan USA jersey when I go see the Ducks in Ottawa later this month. (I would have worn it today, but ya know, Mighty Ducks and all.)I did find it a little funny coincidence that Ryan, Perry, and Getzlaf all scored in that first period. It was like the productive days of the RPG line all over again.And I agree, I don't think this is the last time they'll do this. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did this at least one maybe twice more this season and hopefully once a year after that. It's so wildly popular. Like Kramerica said, it's a merchandising gold mine. They'd be stupid not to.1) I think a lot of people were annoyed/offended by the Ryan superfans who put Ryan above the team, and in turn this soured some people on Ryan. That, plus the melodrama, and the fact that Ryan would disappear for weeks at a time, are probably why some people boo'd him. I'm not a fan of his at all, but I wouldn't boo him.2) I don't think they'd be allowed to wear these again this season, as I think you need league approval before the season to do stuff like this. It'd be cool if they did this once every year or two, kinda like the Devils and the christmas tree uniforms. Hopefully they'll add the shoulder patch next time.

Sport Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The only problem I have with habitual Mighty Ducks throwbacking is my general problem with throwing back to your previous uniforms that several of your current players already wore.It's such a nice color scheme, though!Same. It's like when the Dbacks wore their throwbacks in 2012. You changed uniforms in 2007 and you're already nostalgic for your old look? Maybe you made a mistake."Hey let's pretend we're rookies and go bang some orange county cougars tonight. It'll be like old times." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turdy and not particularly striking of the "Mighty Ducks". Besides, black breezers? Yuck.(same thing as above, I just wanted to post both of these.)And, of course, this... ...just needs to be saved for the Winter Classic game between these two (ditto on the Kings' end).

monkeypower Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I seem to remember seeing that the black pants were because Cooper? (Or whoever made the pants at the time) didn't have the eggplant pants for that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I missed the last period of that game, I would have watched the rest but I'm not that masochistic.At least we never have to go to California again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Meh. Turdy and not particularly striking of the "Mighty Ducks". Besides, black breezers? Yuck.Yeah, but they wore the white alts with the eggplant pants for one year as well, so that would have worked.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I could deal with the white one (I wouldn't prefer it), but the dark version is muddled yuck.

Sodboy13 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Eakins is healthy-scratching Yakupov. Twice now. What the hell is going on in Edmonton?I'm wondering how much Leafiness Eakins got on him during his AHL time. Gotaa grind clutch hit punch that's how you win in today's NHL farrrrrrrrt. They're going to chase Yakupov back to Russia, where he'll score 95 goals a season for $10 million a year.Devan Dubstep (I call him that because every time he's in goal, it's just WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP) has an .829 save percentage this year. That would have gotten you the first bus out of town back in 1983. He should be riding pine in Oklahoma City right now.
