NL saying “he doesn’t get muscled off the puck” followed immediately by his player getting muscled off the puck only to throw his stick with the accuracy and deadly precision of Shaka Zulu himself and say “Well you had that coming” I am pissing myself with laughter
First time he threw the stick at the opponent, cracking the man's skull and giving him retrograde amnesia I almost choked on my lemon pepper wings. This is a great game.
Obviously you're joking, but Canadian football actually exists. It's mostly the same as American, but in the CFL there are only three downs, the field is 110 yards long, the end zones are 20 yards deep, and the field is 12 yards wider than in the NFL.
This is the most canadian roguelite ever! Love it! And also shoutout to the devs who got rids of them useless "icing" and "offside". Those rules are only there to ruin the fun :p
16:58 I was watching a local game, and one of the refs absolutely annihilated a guy who was trying to get froggy. The ref was a giant though. Probably an old player from back in the day. Dude was an absolute unit. Didn't even know the guy bounced off of his shoulder because he was skating to break up another fight.
Love how when you play the Refs, the actual Ref calls off your first goal, and then in each subsequent period literally throws the puck during the face-off to a spot where it's easier for a Ref players to get it lol! Also, The Ref goalie trying to jam his stick into everyone that comes near him. It's just too good. Can't wait for this to release.
Man, I hope there is a revival of the alternative mayhem versions of real sports again. As a kid I loved games like Mutant league football/hockey. This game sorta reminds of those but a bit more tactical.
The refs team all signaling goal when they score, disallowing the first goal against them (must be a special trait of that team?) and their goalie being an umpire is goddamn brilliant.
Honestly... I haven't laughed this hard at a video in awhile. The "Uh, excuse me! Offsides?!" had me laughing so hard! Or "I killed my own teammate and you know what? I'd do it again". My sides hurt.
This was genuinely the funniest video Ive seen in a looong time! Just the sheer joy of NL commentating and just how entertaining the game made out the matches to be was just putting the biggest grin on my face. Thank you!
Hey NL, would love to see more of this in the future. Wasn't sure if I would like it since I hate sports games, but was pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining, great stuff man
I think that this is the most genuinely excited and happy I have seen NL in a very long time. Think ive only seen him be this happy when hes told some cute stories about his kid. This was a joy to watch and i hope we get to see more of Mr.HappyEgg in the future. Also, this game looks like a hoot.
I can't wait for NL to play the full version of this. Had me in stitches. Really brings out what I love about about NL's content with the irl knowledge as well as the 90s NHL-ness 😁
I love when you talked about the puck drop music. Cause there's nothing like an Enter Sandman, Reptilia or nickelback's Burn It To The Ground to get me riled for hockey.
This game was made for NL. Top-tier banter and gameplay. I really hope he sees the enthusiasm for more content even if the analytics don’t end up supporting it. Thankfully it’s something he personally enjoys, so he’ll give the rest of the community time to fall in love with it too.
Couldnt stop laughing watching a ref body check defensemen and forwards javelining hockey sticks
He’s fucking hurling that stick like this is goddamn Hotline Miami
It was awesome to watch you play our game, thanks again!
Chat was amazing, you guys are the best!
I'm wishlishting your game as we speak
great game lad/lads, good luck on development and full release, stay pegged
@@Mark13512 Same
Am I right in half-remembering you promoting this game on r/quebec a while ago?
pogtent game!!
Im glad that NL is enjoying himself so much. He seems really happy playing this.
Who doesn't love some hockey, and a real lack of hockey games with innovative game play
I don't really understand what's going on or what he's talking about in most of this but I'm also mostly just enjoying his enthusiasm.
@@dudekazoo ngl I'm googling some of the terms he's saying and it helps so much
It sounds like you describing a pup who was recently adopted lol
You can tell because he's using his Midnight Sun's voice
The fact that the ref keeps icing the other team has me cackling 🤣
that and the stick throws were so hilarious! xD
I was losing it between the ref and the stick throws. Such a fun game to watch. NL, make this a series when it comes out!
What also got me was goalie's bottle 🍼 being launched off the goalpost and then just lying there in the middle of the ice rink for minutes XD

@@Noises1444thank you
Seeing NL so into the game is really fun. Also his sports-like commentary is top tier as always.
"I keep killing the ref but he's like my best player" definitely not the only team who feels like the ref is their best player
First time he threw the stick at the opponent, cracking the man's skull and giving him retrograde amnesia I almost choked on my lemon pepper wings.
This is a great game.
Already on the wings for the Superbowl!? save some for me!
@@tapetotapegame Not a chance, brother.
Amnosia
Very excited to watch NL play Canadian football
😂

@@connerblah Don't ruin the joke my guy. We know cfl is fun, just laugh along with everyone else.
@@Jwaukechon Doesn't ruin the joke because I didn't know the CFL was a thing. The joke is now added to, for me.
@@Szanth good point. I assumed and I was wrong.
20 minutes in and this is one of the most pog-full experiences I've ever lived, this game is amazing
The chatters said this when he started rumbleverse, and when he started golf and when he started Issac, the man just carries the pog within him
I had never been so invested in a game of hockey until that last game
Irl hockey needs to take some notes.
Irl hockey needs to evolve.
Looking forward to the next and the other 18462 videos he'll make of this game
You could be joking but I honestly turned on notifications (surprised they weren't on already) to see if he plays this some more, this is fantastic
@@CanadianWolverinehe loved switch sports soccer, so I’m sure there’s much more of this to come
This is the most canadian roguelite ever! Love it! And also shoutout to the devs who got rids of them useless "icing" and "offside". Those rules are only there to ruin the fun :p

"Hes pog dood!" fucking love this I hope NL does this game more.
I've never seen The Egg this sunny side up. Makes me smile!
This game seems freaking amazing, would love to see an entire series on this with the full release.
never been a huge fan of hockey but this was very nice to watch just because of how much fun NL is having with it.
May NL play this for the rest of time, so pegged right now
As a Swedish hockey fan I love the hockey anecdotes from a Canadian perspective and also this game is GOTY already

Kind of funny how NL didn't realize that the ref was throwing the puck to the opponents and kept saying he needed to work on his face-offs.
32:46 was the funniest part of the video XD
Something about that hit felt personal
Every stick throw had my rollin
17:53 ref went on a killing spree
Hockey banter will go insane, like a Canadian goose during turkey season
Man, I hope there is a revival of the alternative mayhem versions of real sports again. As a kid I loved games like Mutant league football/hockey. This game sorta reminds of those but a bit more tactical.
A game that NL is completely sicko with plus hilarious banter.. gold
14:13 this was such an insane play I lost my shit when I watched it 😂
Wow, this really is made for him fr
Like Golfie and Cursed to golf... Which he abandoned after couple hours.. criminal
This video is Pog City. I would love a few more episodes of this game
The refs team all signaling goal when they score, disallowing the first goal against them (must be a special trait of that team?) and their goalie being an umpire is goddamn brilliant.
my hockey exposure is exclusively from listening to nl talk about it, have absolutely no idea what offside means but this is poggy
This is a great video. Amazing combination of a great fun game and NL being so into it, with on point commentary all the time.
The McShaggy brothers. Priceless.
McShaggy me now or McShaggy me later. Ya Baby!
This is the kind of gameplay that made the older sports games so much more fun than the modern day hyper-realistic game.
5:47 For those who don't know this is actually just what provincial hockey leagues look like in northern Ontario
NL: "The biggest offsides of all time"
me who doesn't know anything about hockey: *giggles anyway*
Insanely fun to watch!
thank you for reminding me of the "you can't hug every cat" video. i adored that girl, i wonder what shes up to
Honestly... I haven't laughed this hard at a video in awhile.
The "Uh, excuse me! Offsides?!" had me laughing so hard! Or "I killed my own teammate and you know what? I'd do it again". My sides hurt.
19:23 "Horrendous shot, just call me Cody Ceci"
Leafs/Senators/Oilers fan laughed AND cried at this one
19:21 that Cody Ceci reference made me laugh! This game is fantastic
The referee bodychecks, javelin sticks, great commentary. This video was 10/10 I need to keep an eye on this game and I hope we get more videos
This was genuinely the funniest video Ive seen in a looong time! Just the sheer joy of NL commentating and just how entertaining the game made out the matches to be was just putting the biggest grin on my face. Thank you!
I know nothing about hockey and this had me in tears. Hope to see more of this game!
This is it. This is the game ive dreamed of.
Lets go.
Demo was so fun, awesome to see NL get onto this one!
The stick throw celebration was just peak comedic timing
Hey NL, would love to see more of this in the future. Wasn't sure if I would like it since I hate sports games, but was pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining, great stuff man
did the devs make a game just for NL? cause I am here for it!!!!
As a fellow Canadian I want more of this game
New drinking game, take a shot every time he says “Gretzky’s office”
the drama of these matches is incredible. true heart break and glory
That final game was the funniest ice hockey match I've ever seen (admittedly I haven't seen many but gosh) 😂
If this game had custom teams with custom players and a franchise mode, it could be the greatest hockey game ever made.
I hope to see more of this game as it comes out! This is funny
“Can’t stop this.” (Two seconds later) “They stopped it.”
I think that this is the most genuinely excited and happy I have seen NL in a very long time. Think ive only seen him be this happy when hes told some cute stories about his kid. This was a joy to watch and i hope we get to see more of Mr.HappyEgg in the future. Also, this game looks like a hoot.
As a hockey fan I have never been so excited to see an upload xD
I've never seen a hockey game before, but NL's commentary and enjoyment are just off the charts!!
I can't wait for NL to play the full version of this. Had me in stitches.
Really brings out what I love about about NL's content with the irl knowledge as well as the 90s NHL-ness 😁
Great game, looking forward to seeing it in full version!
Greetings from Czechia
I think I legitimately laughed out loud like 5 times during that first game. My pog cup runneth over.
"i don't care about checking"
5 seconds later
"it's the most important thing in a videogame"
Please make this a series. I'll watch every episode!
The glove on the Ref's goalie was insane!
The Mike Smith joke was perfect.
HAHA.. I agree. Also the Tyler Myers cracks.
"Wishlisht" is actually not a typo its a reference to famous Czech hockey player Vit Lisht
I love when you talked about the puck drop music. Cause there's nothing like an Enter Sandman, Reptilia or nickelback's Burn It To The Ground to get me riled for hockey.
This is an amazing game and i look forward to seeing more of it from my favorite canadian youtuber
Gimme more. A roguelite hockey game is a combination I didn't know I needed until now.
ngl the ref body checking everyone under the sun was hilARIOUS
I could not stop laughing at the the ref, greatest powerup of all time.
this game needs a series for sure
This makes me want to see an NHL career mode series
This game was made for NL. Top-tier banter and gameplay. I really hope he sees the enthusiasm for more content even if the analytics don’t end up supporting it. Thankfully it’s something he personally enjoys, so he’ll give the rest of the community time to fall in love with it too.
The ref throwing hands sent me every time 😂😂
NHL: Northern Hockey Lion
Also, NL would make an insane NHL play by play commentator.
SERIOUSLY... I was just thinking, I want this guy sitting next to me at the next game I attend.
dang the tension!!! this was incredible
That was a blast. 10/10 am watching again!
35:47 my man is hype
Looking forward to seeing more of this when the full game comes out!
He’s so happy I love it
Never seen NL so pogged playing a game
nl should upload entire vods of this, this is bingeworthy content
Cool game basicity has Mario sports styled abilities in a rogue-lite format.
27:48 this man's singing Amish Paradise lmao
I don't think many people got that one lmao
That's how I would've done it
holy shit that ref throws elbows like he's Scott Stevens
The ref really was his best player
This is fantastic! I hope there is more of this on the future! NL at his best!
Was missing switch golf and now this gem appears. Glued to my screen the whole time. More please!!!
The nostalgia this feels like how old hockey videogames felt. My Canadian came back hard, I cheered every goal
"Vows of the Virtueless" goes pretty hard ngl
37:09 is the funniest sequence in modern gaming history.
I don't remember the last time I clicked on an NL video so fast. Let's go!
That Joey Crawford ref made this so hilarious to me
Drink everytime NL says "it's done" and it wasn't done.
This and Shadows of Doubt were my two favorites from this Next Fest, a true banger!
