Mike, Tommy and Kevin, go back through the Mighty Ducks films — mostly D1 — and break it down through Adam Banks’ eyes. In the process they realize what a lonely life Banks leads as his new team doesn’t accept him and his old team turns on him.

Show Notes

To be clear: Mike FORGOT an undershirt at Tommy’s wedding. He didn’t just choose not to wear it.

The floss dance has its own Wikipedia page. What a time we live in.

Adam Banks, bored after beating the Mighty Ducks, and maybe a little scared of Reilly.

The Hawks beat District 5:

We talked about why the Hawks didn’t play the Mighty Ducks in the first round in Episode 10. Here is the table we came up with based on district location:

It was actually Tommy Duncan who gives a weird face as he walks out on Adam Banks:

Thanks to Erik for the #QuackQuestion via email:

Dear Mike, Tommy, and Kevin,

First, congratulations and best wishes to Mike on your marriage!

Here is my Quack Question for you…

Why does Bombay keep popping aspirins at the first District 5 game against the Hawks in D1? Does he have a headache from all the stress of dealing with kids and having to play against Riley? Or is he paranoid about having a heart attack like the previous District 5 coach?

Best Regards,

Erik (with a K)

Recapping Adam Banks’ journey in D1

-He plays with his friends on the Hawks and he dominates.

-A weird old guy he’s barely heard of rips him away from his friends because the old guy wants Banks to play for his team. The old guy apparently is a former Hawks star. As the adults try to work this out, Banks’ dad and coach rip this old guy mercilessly.

-In the name of just playing hockey, Banks relents and figures he might be able to learn something from this former star. His friends immediately turn on him. At the same time, his new teammates don’t accept him.

-Once he finally gets most of his new team to accept him, he gets hurt and misses the rest of the biggest game of his career to that point. After he is injured and carried off the ice, his new teammates immediately forget about him and there is no talk of him at all the rest of the night.
