Nothing is going to make me not love these movies from my childhood... but this analysis Sir is absolutely hilarious! Hahahahaha!

it annoys me how we lost jessie in movie 3 and that funny short mexican kid after movie 1

"Uhh... Gordon was a high-priced defense attorney and you sir have been coaching peewee hockey for the better part of three decades." Really funny stuff. You've got great timing. Do more of these.

[@pendafen7405]

The issue I take with the poaching of Adam Banks is that no-one asked Adam what he wanted, or seemed to care--neither his abusive coach & Dad, nor Bombay, nor the Hawks or the Ducks. This is the entire tragic problem of the Banksy character. He's been traumatised by pressure and expectation and emotional blackmail, plus he's not naturally assertive, and people exploit his gentle agreeable passive nature for their own gain.

[@maninthebox0]

1:17 I laughed at this for way too long 😂😂 there were actually a few games in that playoff montage before the championship though just to be fair 💁‍♂️

[@jongon0848]

what's even funnier is when Gordon starts coaching Connie tells him their record is 0-9 so their record is more like 1-11-1 lol

[@Solemindband]

Hey, one was pretty close though. They only lost by 5 and they almost scored a goal too

[@Crasher1982]

@@Solemindband Hey, it's the Connie Meister, the velvet hammer. Haha. I still love this movie.

[@AdhamOhm]

I always assumed the 0-9 record that Connie talked about was from their previous season, while the first game we see them play against the Hawks was their first actual game in the current season.

[@jayNicks10]

1-12-1 if you count that lame forfeit because those kids don’t know sarcasm.

The actor that played Hans appeared in Lethal Weapon 2 as the main villain Arjen Rudd. Danny Glover shot him in the head at the end. What an awesome kill to the ending of an action film. It was so creepy seeing him as the villain in Lethal Weapon 2 because I was so used to seeing him as the good natured Hans in the Mighty Ducks films.

[@pettifoggingpharisee]

What an excellent actor, rest in peace. One of his finest roles was playing C.S. Lewis in Shadowlands.

One thing you should've pointed out (and if you did sorry I missed it) but why the hell are there newspaper articles about a pee-wee hockey team?

[@kpk33x]

Thr Ducks making the playoffs with that record isn't so far fetched. This movie was from the early 90s when about 16/21 teams made the playoffs in the NHL

[@Gwildor2020]

In the NHL you can literally make the playoffs if you lose every game in overtime.

[@tml_sledge2661]

Thanks to this movie the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (AKA Anaheim Ducks) NHL team was then born and still playing to this very day! Go Ducks Go!

How did the Hawks and the Ducks not play each other in the first round. Usually sports have it where the #1 seed plays against the lowest seed in the playoffs unless the #1 seed in this league gets an automatic bye into the finals.

When I went to high school, every basketball team in the state made the playoffs. Technically, a team could have won only 7 games all season and been state champions. A football team could go 7-3 and not make the state play offs if they were 3rd in their division.

[@dr.loomis4221]

It's worth noting that the game was tied when young Gordon Bombay missed that penalty shot...so it's not like it was a guaranteed loss like his coach made it out to be.

[@tml_sledge2661]

I mean, Gordon didnt go after Banks cause he wanted to win. He went after him cause Hans showed him the district boundaries changed making Banks apart of District 5

[@Jerry-zc5qt]

I know your not supposed to read this far into it and enjoy the movies but the logic in each one is way out there. In the first movie a team who before Bombay became their coach had 0 wins. Now they are winning the peewee state hockey championship from a tram that has 1 loss in 20 year's Highly unlikely. I. D2 none of the absent players are acknowledged. The returning players are all over Minnesota but are magically in the same city to be recruited for team USA. In d3 the New players are scattered around the country. I seriously doubt she parents would allow their underage children to relocate so far away from home to play hockey for some preppy private school

I just liked this video and it went all the way from 69 to 69. Damn, I love KZbin. My biggest problems with this movie were always Josef Sommer's terribly-written heel turn and that I kept waiting for Joss Ackland to say, "I hate them. I hate the robot versions of them." That Oreo Line joke was racist, but back then it was also funny. It's funny now, you just can't openly admit it. But that's okay, because they'd get back at the other team by staging a hate crime hoax. That's not actually a joke. Jussie Smollett played Terry Hall in this film. _"He must really want to have sex with Charlie's mom."_ I had a pretty big crush on Heidi Kling. Lose the game and start fresh next year or Heidi Kling...hmm.
