b'Hey Everyone,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast.\\n\\nToday, I have a bonus episode for you, continuing with The Mighty Ducks Trilogy here is, D2: The Mighty Ducks, which came out in 1994.\\n\\nIn this movie after Gordon Bombay is injured while playing hockey in the minor leagues, he is recruited by Hendrix Hockey to coach Team USA in the Junior Goodwill Games in Los Angeles, California.\\n\\nHe gathers all the old ducks together, granted they\'re missing Peter, Karp, Tommy, Tammy and Terry from the OG crew, so 5 more ducks have to be added to the roster. That\'s where Dean Portman, Ken Wu, Julie "The Cat" Gaffney, Luiz Mendoza and Dwayne Robertson come in. The new ducks and old ducks work together to take on hockey teams from other countries, their ultimate foe just like the Hawks in the first movie, now, they have Iceland. Guys who are taller and bigger and let\'s just be honest here look like they are 22 years old playing against 13 year olds.\\n\\nOf course it can\'t be a ducks movie without crazy antics and mischief, along with montages and a wise old man giving sage advice to remind Gordon Bombay who he is and where he comes from. Yes, the five OG Ducks aren\'t the only ones missing from the sequel, Hans went back to the old country and his brother Jan (not Jan, like The Brady Bunch) has come to run the skate shop in Minnesota as well as bless the ducks with some new Ducks Uniforms in the last five minutes of the movie.\\n\\nAs far as villians go, the Wolf Stansson guy is a cartoon villain compared to Jack Riley, Gordon\'s old coach from the Pee Wee\'s who I liked a lot more after this guy. Never thought I\'d hear myself say that.\\n\\nI had a fun time rediscovering this sequel although honestly, I liked the original better.\\n\\nI can\'t wait to get to D3: The Mighty Ducks in March.\\n\\nHave a great week everyone!\\n\\nTo Write Into The Podcast Go To:\\n\\nlbomwonderyearspodcast@gmail.com'
