Your entire childhood was a lie, everything your parents ever told you is bullshit, and Disney’s The Mighty Ducks just became the biggest fraud in Hollywood history. Somewhere during me tweeting up a storm about the Tampa Bay Lightning last night I noticed three tweets pop into my Twitter feed, and it fucked my life up real good.
In one fell swoop, Twitter user @auquf exposed ‘The Flying V’ from The Mighty Ducks as a completely bullshit play. In just three tweets he triple deke’d his way into the Hockey Twitter Hall of Fame by exposing a play that would’ve NEVER flown in a real game. So forget all that ‘Ducks fly together’ bullshit, because here’s the truth:
The Flying V was offside: Hall is not in possession of puck. Lit area in front is past the blue line. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/uYenWQM9sg

Hall is now entirely in the lit area, which is past the line (as is Germaine). He does not have possession yet (2/3) pic.twitter.com/z7Vbw4yQ2I

As Hall skates into the zone ahead of the puck without possession, the Flying V is offside. (3/3)

There you have it, bros, the ‘Flying V’ from Disney’s The Mighty Ducks was a play that would’ve been called offsides, and it NEVER would’ve stood up in a real game…QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, Mr. Ducksworth..Am I right?
And it should go without saying, but it’s OBVIOUS to anyone that’s ever played any sport before the ‘Flying V’ would’ve never worked in a game. The point here is that the play was actually illegal, not just complete garbage.
Now here’s my dilemma: I was drinking Basil Hayden’s Bourbon last night, kind of drunk, and I have no idea who retweeted these and how they ended up into my feed, so I’m not sure where I should be crediting this. They just hopped into my Twitter timeline and I found my childhood shattered in a matter of seconds.
