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.
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.

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?
