Came home and saw D2: The Mighty Ducks on TV. I have to express my opinion on something that would've changed the whole movie. Thread 1/?
The Ducks/USA were so dominant before facing Iceland the first time, that if the first game were referee'd correctly, they don't lose. 2/?
We saw a lame penalty 3 secs into the game and an accidental ricochet shot on a referee as a result. Ref didn't need to get that close. 3/?
Ref should've known there was no intent, kept Dean in the game on a 2 min pen. Instead, Ducks lose a top D-man w/ the whole game left (4/?)
Iceland goes on a run against an unfairly, undermanned Ducks team. Banks scores, celebrates a little & gets HAPPY GILMORE'd on his wrist 5/?
Accidental contact with a ref? Instant ejection. Intent to injure and maiming the other team's best player? 2 minutes. HOW, SWAY, HOW? (6/?)
IMHO, Portman stays in, maybe Iceland gets a lead, but that bullying crap doesn't continue & tone of 1st game changes. USA had more talent.
Then, USA beats Iceland anyway in a shootout w/ a barely healthy Adam Banks, no Charlie Conway & that previous beating in their head.
Iceland was overrated. Needed help from the referees & dirty tactics to get an edge and STILL couldn't win gold. Couldn't be my squad.
Also, I think Iceland's entire team was on HGH. Or 24 years old. Or both. They deserved to lose. Alright, I've gone way too far with this.
One last thing, Dwayne Robertson should've sat instead of Charlie. Don't need the And-1 mixtape on the ice in a gold medal game. SMH Gordon.
