People can say what they want. The Anaheim Mighty Ducks had one of the most iconic jerseys in all of hockey! There logo was bold and had attitude and unique. The team is resposible for contributing the mass appeal of hockey in the USA. Wayne Gretzky laid the foundation for the western expansion when moving to the LA. Kings, something that made expansions for the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim, but Hockey as a whole is much bigger a lor thanks to Disney! There is an old saying; "Don't fix it if it ain't broke!" = The original Mighty Ducks logo and team colors. Bring them back and have the "D foot" as a 2nd logo/shoulder patch.

Keep the old logo and colors, but the name being Simply Anaheim Ducks is 🔥

I may be misremembering it, but I think I read in McNall's autobiography that he never had to actually negotiate; they went to dinner, Eisner said he perceived the value of an NHL franchise in the market to be worth $100 million, and was willing to give him $50 million for the infringement. McNall, not expecting half that amount, agreed to it before the entrees arrived.

Grey up 10 minutes from the pond. Lifelong fan. The ducks are what got me into hockey

Great hearing Tom Mee’s voice.

Eisner was a genius. Did he make mistakes? BIG ONES. Did he make huge hits? Absolutely, YES. The Ducks WORKED. Still works. Look at DIsney NOW, they can't even tie their shoelaces right. Eisner wasn't perfect, but his spirit was in the right place. That's not something you can just buy or teach.

You are wrong. Gretzky helped West Coast growth. The Might Ducks movie helped more than the Anaheim team. The NHL was experiencing big growth from Bettman in the early 90s, but about to hit stagnation following the strike and Dead Puck era which the NHL never recovered from.

Little did the guy in the Rams hat know they'd leave in two years.

Guy Hebert was a great choice by management. Others may have hated the Mighty Ducks... But I loved it. The movie and all. I was like 6 at the time, so its obvious why I liked it. It makes me have a soft spot for this team after all these years! Plus, Paul Kariya and I have the same birthday! 😉
