This has really bothered me about D2 : The Mighty Ducks

I understand Bombay gets offered the Team USA job after his injury, so picking his own team makes some sense. But how in the hell does a team that went from worst to first (just cause they got Banks, really?) in a Minnesota Pee-Wee league, add a goalie, speed skater, puck handler, figure skater, and a bad boy and go on to win the gold medal?
Also, you sit Charlie Conway, your captain, for Russ Tyler? Yes, Banks is good enough to walk in the locker room before the game and say, "I'm in the line-up tonight" because he's the best (Only freshman to make varsity in D3) but there's no way you let Conway bench himself just so Russ, an unproven kid from the inner city who just joined the team mid-tournament, in the GOLD MEDAL MATCH!!!
Thoughts?

or how about when the chick at the end freezes to take a long distance, low percentage slap? Which, according to hockey rules, would have ended her possession/attempt at the moment she stopped skating.

Well done, assuming this is what I think it is.

That was Russ, bro. They snuck Russ in as the goalie after the timeout. This could explain the whole why Russ Tyler is playing instead of Conway argument, but he did posses a special shot, the knuckle puck.
Which brings me to my next point. There is not shot in hell your going to find 6 black kids in Los Angeles who play street hockey like the ones Russ plays with when he challenges Team USA at the press conference

You can thank this movie for the explosion in hockey's popularity among inner-city youth

Much more likely than turning a little Chinese figure skater into a hockey player. Or a kid who's good enough a skating that's he's the fastest on the US national team but he somehow never learned how to stop.

I hate all of you

We need to have an over analysis thread on this movie.

Agreed. If the Rockets never catch the measels in the first one, D-5 doesn't even make the playoffs. And the whole re-districting that forced Banks over to D-5, like nobody would have caught that during registration. And then you quit your job at a prestigious law firm "over some game? A bunch if kids....?"

What about the fact that the movie starts with the 5'4'' at least 30 year old Gordon Bombay about to be called up to the NHL?
Kind of clued me in immediately that this movie was going to battle with reality.

Because Bombay taught them to pass eggs.

And to pick up the trash. It's a life metaphor.

Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd there we have it, ladies and gentlemen. "Black people don't play hockey!" Took all of, what, 5 or 6 posts? Nice.

Are you seriously bothered by that?

How about the fact that Charlie, who was a first-line center, benching himself for Aberman. I get the decision to put a kid with an unbelievable shot into the game if it means that you have a shot, but benching Charlie for Averman?
Plus, Averman was a total pushover.
- "Hey Averman, you're sitting because Charlie is the captain, better than you, and we need the spot."
-"Ok coach Bombay. By the way, thanks for the free trip out the LA. I had a blast. I don't have to worry about getting beat up EVERY TIME I AM ON THE ICE".

I wish I would have never clicked on this thread

How did Charlie go from a klutz in D1 to God-like status in D3 where he is the unquestioned leader and without a doubt first line center?

Sounds to me like you're a cake eater.
