Because why wouldn’t you bust out your Gordon Bombay alter ego in the tightly contested Ducks-Blackhawks series?

The Anaheim Ducks shed their Disney roots and "Mighty" Ducks moniker in 2005, when Henry and Susan Samueli bought the team. But the organization still retains troves of fans it picked up through its original association with the three '90s Disney movies about a group of ragtag kids who became a junior hockey powerhouse under the tutelage of coach Gordon Bombay.

Well, quack, quack, quack.

Gordon Bombay was coaching his Ducks from the Twitterverse Monday night when the Ducks played the Chicago Blackhawks in what turned out to be an epic Game 5 of the NHL's Western Conference Finals.

Based on his tweets from Monday night Emilio Estevez, the actor who played Bombay in the three Mighty Ducks movies, is apparently quite an Anaheim Ducks fan. He pulled out a bunch of his most memorable Bombay quotes as he rooted for the Ducks in their overtime game against the Blackhawks. Fans -- of both the Anaheim and Mighty Ducks -- got a kick out of it.

The Ducks gave up a 4-2 lead in the third period, then came back to win 37 seconds into overtime on a goal from Matt Belesky. The 5-4 win puts them up 3-2 against the Blackhawks, and they could clinch the series and earn passage to the Stanley Cup Finals with a win in Chicago on Wednesday night.

Estevez/Bombay couldn't resist the urge to rub it in the faces of Blackhawks fans. Of course.

Emilio Estevez: "Suck it" Chicago. Fans react

But hey, "Ducks fly together. Right?"
