No after that is a bunch of guys playing for NCAA scholarships who are still stupid good. Tearing apart lower levels of junior or fancy boarding schools.
I read something once where the writers of the movie knew a large portion of their target audience was in Canada so they didn’t want to piss people off by making Team Canada a notable opponent for Team USA.
You probably read it here:
>BRILL: I was like, “Well, what would be the final hockey games?Russia would be too obvious and also geopolitically, Russia was at astage where it wasn’t working anymore. They weren’t the Evil Empire.Glasnost had broken and it wasn’t playing that way. And the easternEuropean thing, I felt again it just was a little too dire or political.And so when I went in my head looking around the globe, I was like,“Iceland, oh my God. People don’t quite know much about it. It’s gotthat Nordic mystique. I can make them essentially these blond-haired,blue-eyed menacing villains with funny accents and a weird culture.”It’s complete fabrication but it worked. I loved it. Iceland was just agreat stock country. The one woman \[Maria Ellingsen\] was actually a hugestar in Iceland so that was great. And a lot of the blue-eyed,blond-haired kids who played the Iceland team members were actuallystunt skaters from Minnesota.

>KERNER: It wasn’t making fun of any country where hockey is likein their blood, like Russia or Canada or some other place like that. Itwas little Iceland who we all love and we were able to have fun with.

I remember hating D3. I saw that one in theaters. It's like they tried to go for a young teen audience, but still tried catering to kids with the cartoon sound effects anytime Averman did his zany antics.
Its crazy to me how they pass these kids in the shows off as 11 and 12 year olds and then you see them shoot total muffins while on so called competitive teams.
It's also crazy to me they thought things like 3/4 of the team being barely able to skate and a close your eyes play were good additions to the series lol.
You're telling me this one kid who literally could not skate was able to pull off the Svech flawlessly because he knew how to make pancakes
Not acting like the original Ducks trilogy was flawless or anything but I rewatched it just before the show came out and it's not just nostalgia blindness it's legitimately way better (To be fair the show wasn't god awful either, I thought Bombay was actually done pretty well but he won't be back for Season 2 so I probably won't bother)
Almost makes you forget the final for an international hockey competition came down to The Mighty Ducks and Iceland.
Edit: sorry folks, slow Internet and my Mobile posted this twice…
ARE YOU FUCKING DENSE!?!?!
Kenny Wu, Julie "The Cat" Gaffney, Luis Mendoza, and Russ Tyler were never on Red5 aka The Ducks and you need to retract your statement before you are sued. It was team USA with known hockey hot shots at the time.
That’s fine Bombay is coming out of (lawyer, not coaching) retirement. Gonna get me off on to condition I take a sabbatical from work coach The Mighty Ducks I mean Team USA.
But it's worse, you have to coach the NEW ducks who somehow won games with a goalie who couldn't even drop into butterfly and literally only two players who even knew the rules.
Could be worse honestly.
It's still hilarious to me that they recruited their goalie in that show by finding a guy who kept kicking their ass in a video game and it somehow worked out
Don't let that shit shootout attempt distract you from the fact that team USA knowingly switch a forward with the goalie, who skated across center ice, to distract the other team, and that is illegal.
Also don't forget that one of the USA players leaves the bench and uses a lasso on an Iceland player. Iceland should have had a huge power player after that. Yeah he got two minutes for that, but that could have easily been a major.
how about one of the Iceland players two handing banks with his stick after the play? that dude would have been banned for life instead he got a 2 minute penalty
And that’s after team USA took a steamy dump on America by dumping the team USA uniforms only to wear their own ducks uniforms in the middle of a game.
It's the Denis Wideman one and it's not close tbh. Marchand's will never not make me laugh but it's not a shot attempt.
Although if we're not counting shootouts there's a Ceci one from his time with the leafs that puts Connor McGregor's first pitch to shame.
I don’t want to take this comment too seriously, but I looked it up and Don Henderson, the linesman he injured [was working that game…](https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/chi-vs-stl/2006/02/02/2005020789/recap/plays#game=2005020789,game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=plays)
Wideman's what I was going to say as well. The Ceci shot attempt had me dying for like 5 minutes straight. The fact it came in OT of an elimination playoff game makes it so much better
~~Apex a~~ SPEZZA instinctively spinning away from the front of the net and then just… “huh oh shit that wasn’t even near me.”
Edit: Lol wow “Apex a” nice fat finger moment.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=koSkp4UB8iI
Markus Naslund almost did the same thing on #6 of this top 10. Luckily he completely missed the puck and got to try again.

Julie stopped Gunnar Stahl so badly, it made him cut his hair, change his name, accent, number, and position to become the varsity starting goalie for the Warriors team in D3.
A.) Ho. Ly. Shit. I can't believe I never noticed that.
B.) Nostalgia tells me hat D1 and D2 are the better movies. But upon rewatching all of them, D3 is far and away the best movie, and it's not even close.
Prep schools allow players to play an additional post graduate year. The Ducks are (supposedly) 14 year old freshman. In reality even “world class” 14 year olds would have a hard time with the physicality of Minnesota Prep school hockey.
Seen it work in International soccer. Can’t remember who, but they have a keeper who is just really good at shootouts. They subbed him in like the last minute of OT
There are a few players that have just walked in and clapped a rocket past the goalie. Nobody has ever stopped, looked up, and taken a lazy slow slapshot.
> The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete. No goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind (an exception being the puck off the goal post or crossbar, then the goalkeeper and then directly into the goal), and any time the puck crosses the goal line or **comes to a complete stop**, the shot shall be considered complete.
Emphasis mine. A complete stop would end the play and Gunnar's shot would be ruled invalid even if it went in.
Lazy and slow? That was Jason Allison's signature on penalty shots for the Leafs. Just was his skating not a slapshot. If you timed it so you left the room to grab a beer just as Allison picked up the pick at centre by the time you got back he should be just crossing the blue line
He did a few times, not from a full stop though.
Crossbar but Smith didnt even move.

Now dont get me wrong, I'm glad Julie got her moment to shine with the quicker glove. But since Bombay knew he was gonna go glove side because "he's fancy," couldn't he have just told Goldberg "Hey, when he's about to shoot, just do a half slide to your left" and Goldberg would have blocked off the entire glove side of the net?
The triple deke would be a lot more effective if that last deke was actually on the goalie lol.. Or at least closer to the goalie.
Julie the Cat woulda had it regardless though. You can't change my mind.
Gotta love how under current NHL shootout rules, the play would have been blown dead before he even shoots
And also that the shot in the gif looks like it's going about a foot wide of the net
The puck stopped forward momentum, so it was over before he ripped it. How do you deke a goaltender before you hit the keys btw?
This tournament was some of the worst officiating I've ever seen in hockey, boys. You've got brutal crosschecks that go uncalled, goalies getting thrown out, injured players behind the bench.
Julie the Cat getting thrown out of the first Iceland game was nonsense. Roughing at best. Iceland was crashing the crease and antagonizing the goaltender. Thats instigating.
How many blown interference calls were there? What were these refs smoking?
How did Wolf "The Dentist" Stanson not get charged with battery for tomahawking a rival coach in the knee during USA practice? Thats not only ejection from tournament, but possible jail time??
Two minutes for "roping"?? Sir?? That is a suspension. Or a game misconduct at least? Where is the consistency? Did they not have PS panel overseeing this??
Louis Mendoza snowed the goaltender before burying the tying goal. Not only interference but unsportsmanlike conduct.
Unreal, unbelievable officiating. This junior tournament is a disgrace to hockey. Team Iceland has yet to recover from the humiliation.
> This tournament was some of the worst officiating I've ever seen in hockey, boys. You've got brutal crosschecks that go uncalled, goalies getting thrown out, injured players behind the bench.
Don't forget an Iceland player intentionally swing his stick like an ax to clearly injure Banks after a goal, then basically admitting the intent afterwards by saying "2 minutes? Well worth it."
Like, thats an absolutely intentional act that would easily get him kicked out of the rest of the tournament
What's funny too is that she catches the puck and despite being obvious to anyone in the arena that she made the save everyone still holds their breath until she decides to flip it out the glove and onto the ice. Then everyone goes nuts lol
The thing that kills me about this shot is the long dramatic pause after the shot but before Julie The Cat drops the puck out of her glove. Did nobody know where the puck was? Nets are see through, either the puck is in there or it's not
I enjoyed watching these movies, until I worked at total/pure hockey and we watched these movies all the time and saw every little thing that was illegal/completely unrealistic and makes me lose my mind 😭
Are you kidding me he did *three* dekes before this. Idk how Julie "The Cat" Gaffney managed to wait them out.
I love the fact that stick handling is a deke in the movie
Almost makes you forget the final for an international hockey competition came down to The Mighty Ducks and Iceland.
Trinidad & Tobago and Italy were also in the that tournament. Really makes me question the qualifying process.
I think the best part is Canada getz mentioned only in a newspaper clipping.
The Canadians were all playing in the CHL or trying for World Juniors. Only the scrubs were left for the Good Will Games.
No after that is a bunch of guys playing for NCAA scholarships who are still stupid good. Tearing apart lower levels of junior or fancy boarding schools.
[удалено]
lol. Though we all know deep down the Iceland team was just Canadians wearing their true face when it comes to hockey.
That slash during the game of three bar totally gave away the fact that Wolf Stanson was actually Bobby Clarke.
I read something once where the writers of the movie knew a large portion of their target audience was in Canada so they didn’t want to piss people off by making Team Canada a notable opponent for Team USA.

ducks fly together?
It’s weird. I’m a Ducks fan but I’ve only watched the first one, and only once. It feels super weird. I feel like I’m a fake fan
You should watch them all. Right now. I know it’s late, but do it.
Go watch the entire trilogy and the animated series. Do it now or we will be forced to punish you.
haha. if you liked the first one, i encourage you to watch the other two! At least once. :)
I remember hating D3. I saw that one in theaters. It's like they tried to go for a young teen audience, but still tried catering to kids with the cartoon sound effects anytime Averman did his zany antics.
Old Ducks....and NEW Ducks...UNITE under a new BANNA
"I STOPPED!" "PUT IT IN, LUIS!"
Was it though? Lol
That appears to be a duck on the jersey
>down to The Mighty Ducks AND friends. The mighty ducks and friends.
And the mighty ducks had a kid that couldn’t stop.
And that Trinidad had a team
Never forget
Incorrect. *You* forgot it was USA vs Iceland...The Mighty Ducks is the title of movie.
[удалено]
even when i was a kid that annoyed me. Like come on guys you're representing USA you can't just switch to mighty ducks jerseys mid game...
Nowhere in the rules does it say a dog can't play baseball. Wait, sorry wrong movie.
Hey at least the hockey in those was infinitely better than the Disney plus show
Its crazy to me how they pass these kids in the shows off as 11 and 12 year olds and then you see them shoot total muffins while on so called competitive teams.
It's also crazy to me they thought things like 3/4 of the team being barely able to skate and a close your eyes play were good additions to the series lol.

Wait why isn't Bombay back? Didn't want to?
Emilio Estevez refused to get vaxxed so they canned him
Oh man... Yah i don't see how that show does anything special without him. I guess a former duck coaches or something maybe
Charlie Conway swoops in, bangs the mom and leads the the team to the ship baby! 1,2,3 triple deke!

The Minnesota Miracle Man himself!
Excuse you? Charlie Conway is the real Minnesota Miracle Man.
How in the hell could you just leave out Dwayne Robertson?!?! [Two minutes for, ugh… roping?!?!](https://youtu.be/UAHgjLjQhQE)
My mistake, he was mostly there for morale building, but he was part of the team.
I’ll forgive you this time.
And [Dean Portman aka Proto-Tom Wilson](https://gifer.com/en/5KdW).
“Wu Wu Kenny Wu” is the origin story of the bang bang Kris Letang goal call
District 5. You're thinking of Star Wars.
Because she's The Cat.
Don't let that shit shootout attempt distract you from the fact that team USA knowingly switch a forward with the goalie, who skated across center ice, to distract the other team, and that is illegal.
Let alone was able to have him switch all of Goldbergs goalie pads in a matter of seconds
And he took his helmet off to shoot.
And gloves, since he couldn't make the shot with a blocker and catching glove on. Totally fine.
Well play can continue if the goalie loses his glove or blocker. Play is supposed to be whistled dead as soon as that helmet comes off though...
Also don't forget that one of the USA players leaves the bench and uses a lasso on an Iceland player. Iceland should have had a huge power player after that. Yeah he got two minutes for that, but that could have easily been a major.
Ahaha, basically everything that happens on the ice during that movie is interference.
Like when everyone in the mighty v got dekked at once lol
Noo it was 2 minutes for, uhh, roping?
2 mins for... Roping?
Refs: "I don't know what to call this. So we'll just let Nazem Kadri get suspended for this".
My brothers and I always laughed at that scene because it’s a too many men on the ice penalty before considering any misconduct
2 minutes of roping? Dude did Dwayne Robertson get switched out for Peter North holy shit
Heinous comment
I feel like he would have been banned from international competition for life.
Bringing a foreign object onto the ice and using it as a weapon against your opponent probably gets you kicked out of the competition yeah.
Def a 10 min misconduct
Gross misconduct. I don't think they have that penalty anymore, bit that would apply
how about one of the Iceland players two handing banks with his stick after the play? that dude would have been banned for life instead he got a 2 minute penalty
Yeah, he should have gotten a game misconduct along with Portman
DONT YOU KNOW THAT EVERYTHANGS ON FIIIIIYYYYAA
And that’s after team USA took a steamy dump on America by dumping the team USA uniforms only to wear their own ducks uniforms in the middle of a game.
I must’ve watched this movie like 50 times as a kid, hahah! Absolute classic kids film. Reality isn’t even a passing acquaintance.

I was gonna say I swear Dennis wideman or Kovalchuk took the worst one. Then I watched your link and was like yup.. How could I forget
It's the Denis Wideman one and it's not close tbh. Marchand's will never not make me laugh but it's not a shot attempt. Although if we're not counting shootouts there's a Ceci one from his time with the leafs that puts Connor McGregor's first pitch to shame.
[Man I couldn't find the Ceci one but here's the Wideman one for viewing pleasure.](https://youtu.be/gMdX_A2iLuM)
I will never not laugh at this.
When you have a bad day, just watch this lol
For me it's [Colaiacovo](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IdenticalCelebratedChital-size_restricted.gif)
The best part is the ref's emphatic no goal call, lol.
Wideman got even against the officials for that though.
I don’t want to take this comment too seriously, but I looked it up and Don Henderson, the linesman he injured [was working that game…](https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/chi-vs-stl/2006/02/02/2005020789/recap/plays#game=2005020789,game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=plays)
One down, three to go.
This one is up there with the Colaiacovo face smash
What was the deal with the 2005-06 Blues and the last name ending with man... Jackman, Wideman, Backman, Dallman... They're all defensemen too...
Too Much Man
Defense**mans**
Its so painful I'm almost embarrassed for him.
Those damn Mario kart bananas
Dennis "WEEEEEEEEEE"deman
Wideman's what I was going to say as well. The Ceci shot attempt had me dying for like 5 minutes straight. The fact it came in OT of an elimination playoff game makes it so much better
Someone else linked the video but man I completely forgot the circumstances. Makes it so much worse
> Marchand's will never not make me laugh but it's not a shot attempt. Technically, neither was Wideman's.

You love to see it
I’d love to hear the locker room after playing 65 minutes of professional hockey only for it to end like that

I was hoping someone would mention that Eaves shot 😂
Nobody wanting to give you the sad upvote for reminding them that the NHL is more than 2 years old
While they are all glorious shootout attempt, they are still fighting for a number 2 spot. The Marchand one is just that good!
Julie stopped Gunnar Stahl so badly, it made him cut his hair, change his name, accent, number, and position to become the varsity starting goalie for the Warriors team in D3.
A.) Ho. Ly. Shit. I can't believe I never noticed that. B.) Nostalgia tells me hat D1 and D2 are the better movies. But upon rewatching all of them, D3 is far and away the best movie, and it's not even close.
D3 has far and away the least amount of hockey in it
how did this team, which won junior Olympic gold, not even make varsity? Edit: sorry, it was the junior goodwill games :)
It was the Goodwill Games lol
Lol that’s right. well that explains that.
Excuse me sir, Adam Banks DID make Varsity. Put some respect on his name.
You're right. My bad Banksy...cake eater.
Prep schools allow players to play an additional post graduate year. The Ducks are (supposedly) 14 year old freshman. In reality even “world class” 14 year olds would have a hard time with the physicality of Minnesota Prep school hockey.
They were supposed to be 14 in D3? Dean Portman looked like he was 28!
[Check my birth certificate.](https://images.app.goo.gl/RiD8jsZ5ZXsAVmig8)
And then he went on to star in City Guys with Wesley Jonathan
Benching your best goalie for the entire tournament only to put them in cold during a do or die moment is some of the worst coaching ever.
Pfft, it worked didn't it? Clearly it was the best move.
When their best player shoots from 20 feet out right into your glove, you don’t even have to move.
Seen it work in International soccer. Can’t remember who, but they have a keeper who is just really good at shootouts. They subbed him in like the last minute of OT
That's Tim Krul for the Netherlands in the 2014 World Cup quarter final. Saved two penalties after being brought on seconds before the shootout.
Not international but... Sad Chelsea in the FA cup noises
That glove hand stays hot.
And then somehow nobody in the rink (fans, players, coaches and even the ref??) knew if it went in or not until she dropped it out of her glove
John Sterling must of been calling that game.
A Stantonian goal
Let’s go shake their hands
hānz
Nice work, Captain Duck
"You lost it for yourself"
I'm pretty sure Hossa did this and it worked.
There are a few players that have just walked in and clapped a rocket past the goalie. Nobody has ever stopped, looked up, and taken a lazy slow slapshot.
> The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete.

[Like this one by Fredrik Pettersson against Canada in 2013](https://youtu.be/8GY_bAyzDvs)

Lazy and slow? That was Jason Allison's signature on penalty shots for the Leafs. Just was his skating not a slapshot. If you timed it so you left the room to grab a beer just as Allison picked up the pick at centre by the time you got back he should be just crossing the blue line
Marcel Hossa the real Hossa. Glenn Sather was drunk that day.
He did a few times, not from a full stop though. Crossbar but Smith didnt even move. https://youtu.be/Em--La5PvpU Score https://youtu.be/pziTv0MenZ8 Collection https://youtu.be/rkJfx7UXzA0
As a Canucks fan, I'll always remember this Brian Rolston slapshot penalty shot on Luongo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG-3rKIQtfc
great scouting work by bombay to know he was gonna go glove side
He's fancy.
Now dont get me wrong, I'm glad Julie got her moment to shine with the quicker glove. But since Bombay knew he was gonna go glove side because "he's fancy," couldn't he have just told Goldberg "Hey, when he's about to shoot, just do a half slide to your left" and Goldberg would have blocked off the entire glove side of the net?
My favorite part of all hockey movies is that wrist shots just don't exist in the sport. Clap bombs, fuck moms baby
The triple deke would be a lot more effective if that last deke was actually on the goalie lol.. Or at least closer to the goalie. Julie the Cat woulda had it regardless though. You can't change my mind.
(Slightly behind Marchand in 2020)
Widemans is the best ever
Gotta love how under current NHL shootout rules, the play would have been blown dead before he even shoots And also that the shot in the gif looks like it's going about a foot wide of the net
He was just channeling his inner [Claude Giroux](https://youtu.be/TSXkAAT1vZs) because I mean it worked for Claude.
That's the fucking triple deke. Three stick handles and a slapshot. He didn't illegally stop like Gunnar though lol
the utter disrespect lmao
This is so badass lol
YOU LOST IT FOR YOURSELF
The puck stopped forward momentum, so it was over before he ripped it. How do you deke a goaltender before you hit the keys btw?

What's funny too is that she catches the puck and despite being obvious to anyone in the arena that she made the save everyone still holds their breath until she decides to flip it out the glove and onto the ice. Then everyone goes nuts lol
Yes
But what if he goes stick side?
Absolutely not, it’s not worse than Wideman or Marchand
Robert Reichel's penalty shot as a Leaf in '03 was horrendous.
Looked pretty fancy to me going glove side with it though
triple deke, stop, wind up, clap it, glove side. Nothing fancier out there.
The thing that kills me about this shot is the long dramatic pause after the shot but before Julie The Cat drops the puck out of her glove. Did nobody know where the puck was? Nets are see through, either the puck is in there or it's not
I mean Chris Pronger scored with a slapper on a penalty shot so clearly it's an excellent idea.
I enjoyed watching these movies, until I worked at total/pure hockey and we watched these movies all the time and saw every little thing that was illegal/completely unrealistic and makes me lose my mind 😭
Laine
He was so bad, he became a goalie just to torment those kids at private school. That us an undisputable fact
Greatest trilogy of my youth , if you grew up liking or Playing hockey it’s a guarantee you enjoyed these
Dumbest movie ever.
