It was knuckle-puck time — again!
Kenan Thompson, the two-time “Mighty Ducks” star recreated his iconic slap shot with ex-NHLer P.K. Subban on the latter’s ESPN+ show, “P.K.’s Place.”
The segment showed the two flipping the puck on its edge and releasing fiery slapshots into the net, resembling Thompson’s signature move in the 1994 movie “D2: The Mighty Ducks” in which he played Russ Tyler.
Almost three decades later, the “Mighty Ducks” trilogy evokes plenty of nostalgia — with a hefty dose coming when Thompson channeled Tyler’s famous long.
Kenan Thompson taught PK Subban his ‘Might Ducks’ character’s infamous shot.ESPN+“It’s hard to be accurate, but it drives goalies crazy,” the “Saturday Night Live” star explained to Subban.
The ex-Devils star worked as an NHL studio analyst this season and postseason on ESPN alongside Rangers great Mark Messier and saw “P.K.’ Place” debut on the Worldwide Leader’s streaming service on May 3.
It dives into the history of professional hockey as he talks with both past and present hockey stars as well as famous fans of the game.
“I have a vested interest in growing the game and know the importance of the rapidly expanding sports landscape, so I look forward to bringing my unique insights from having recently been on the ice and now my off-ice perspective,” Subban said when the show was announced in November 2022.
Known for his larger-than-life personality on- and off-the-ice, Subban’s media career seemed almost inevitable once he hung up the skate after the 2021-22 season.
“For a long time, I’ve sat in the locker room with teammates and discussed what it would be like to be on the other side as analyst,” he said.
He’s doing just that — and now he’s added a knuckle-puck to his arsenal.
