Cosmic Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I can't be the only one on this board who hasn't seen any of the Mighty Ducks movies, can't I?The first one's on Netflix streaming right now. I watched it for the first time as an adult... Coach Bombay is a real a-hole. It's hard to root for him.The Mighty Ducks and D-2 are both on Netflix. It's a fun look back... And I thought I heard a story where it was supposed to be a little darker and grittier before Disney made it the child-friendly product we saw. I mean, the man was arrested for a DUI and you're going to let him coach children for his community service?---But speaking of Ducks and actual jersey things, I think we can fully and truly put to bed the gold/orange number trim speculation. This from the Ducks' Facebook page:Well his first act as coach was to endanger everyone's lives by having his driver drive a full-size car onto the pond ice.

Seriously, and I may be in the minority here, but the third one is probably my favorite.And yes, I would love to see something in the way of the blues. A rumor or something. I'm thinking their won't be too many major changes. Probably just getting away from the edge template. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

Morgan33 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Those numbers don't appear to be elongated... I'm guessing they've been going through every possible option and decided to use the old numbers with orange replacing gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I think the back numbers are. The previous ones were squat to the point of being square. Could be the perspective of the photo, too.And again, it could be because the team pro shop still doesn't completely have its act together.

spartacat_12 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Why would those kids be so stoked to wear the NHL Ducks jerseys, when they never wore anything close to that in the first movie? Hell, they were just the D-5 Ducks, they were never referred to as the Mighty Ducks. And why would the rest of the kids from around the country all be excited to be Ducks? Because, Ducks fly together!D2 is just a stupid, stupid movie. The kids are more excited about playing as the Ducks then they are as Team USA? Really? And that "swap the player with the really good shot with the goalie" trick is just insulting. Even for the genre. The first one is genuinally good as far as plucky underdog sports movies go, and the third one has its charm. The second though? Gah. How dare you? D2 is by far the best of the trilogy. The first one had way too many kids who didn't serve a purpose/were uninteresting, and the 3rd didn't have enough Bombay. Plus neither of them had a street hockey game with a bunch of inner city kids in South Central Los Angeles set to "Whoomp There It Is". Every one of these movies are ridiculous, so I am able to laugh at things like "DE GOALIE!", or "2 minutes for roping". I also understand why they chose a country like Iceland as the villains instead of a place like Canada or Sweden. The studio was probably worried about alienating potential markets by making them the bad guys, so they picked Iceland. I still can't get over the fact that Wayne Gretzky went to the dressing room to support Team USA though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Can we have two threads for this? One for random hockey jersey talk and one for actual releases...I keep seeing this thread bumped and come in hoping to see a new sweater buts its nothing but talk...CreamSoda, (You'll see two new sweaters very soon. ) ===> For the folks wanting to hear some news about the St. Louis Blues, guess what, I have news for you. The Blues are unveiling their new uniforms on Sunday. Now, as for the Mighty Ducks logo. It isn't the only cartoony logo in Hockey. What about the Penguins' and the Sharks' logos? Those are cartoony and people seem to like them, well, at least the Penguins one. The Sharks current logo from what I hear isn't the most popular Sharks logo, their Original one is. What's wrong with the Mighty Ducks logo? I'd rather have that than a webbed 'D', even though it is a clever idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I can't stand Mighty Ducks because they seem to think that PeeWee hockey in Minnesota is a step away from the NHL.Mike Modano sees him, "Gordon Bombay! What happened to you? You were so good in peewee!"I swear Disney had the script to Miracle laying around and decided to 90s-ify and kid-friendly it so thoroughly that we'd never recognize it. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 FWIW, here is how the numerals are supposed to look (using #51 as an example): Sleeve Numerals: Back Numerals: Other than spacing (I eyeballed the distance between the numbers since I don't have exact measurements), these are the real deal. Unless of course, they change (!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 If you guys wrote a Mighty Ducks movie, it would just be a bunch of kids playing hockey and then talking about how they need to play Mighty Ducks hockey and get pucks deep.

The Coliseum deserves a good send off. Some historic hockey played on that ice, regardless of the fact that most of the last 30 years has been subpar.
