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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
Don't know if anyone has commented on this yet - to me it seems like the goalie on the ref's team is from baseball: the short-sleeved shirt, the mask which looks as the one used by the umps in baseball. Hilarious game, btw and awesome commentary by NL. Can't wait for this so be released.
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!!
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
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
Seeing NL so into the game is really fun. Also his sports-like commentary is top tier as always.
32:46 was the funniest part of the video XD
Something about that hit felt personal
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

@@Noises1444thank you
"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
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
This is amazing. I love NL yelling out classic occurrences from teams and players that I have no clue who they are.
Same dood
As a hockey fan and fellow Canucks fan, TRUST ME, they are SPOT ON references and more hilarious than you might think.
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.
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.
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.

17:53 ref went on a killing spree
I've never seen The Egg this sunny side up. Makes me smile!
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.
This game seems freaking amazing, would love to see an entire series on this with the full release.
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
dude the commentary is fire...
You can't score every shot,
You can't hug every cat,
and i am rolling around laughing
"Hes pog dood!" fucking love this I hope NL does this game more.
As a Swedish hockey fan I love the hockey anecdotes from a Canadian perspective and also this game is GOTY already
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.
14:13 this was such an insane play I lost my shit when I watched it 😂
NL: "The biggest offsides of all time"
me who doesn't know anything about hockey: *giggles anyway*
"You can't make every shot, and you can't hug every cat" - Northernlion
A game that NL is completely sicko with plus hilarious banter.. gold
I think this is an all-time favorite video, just off of the passion
Hockey banter will go insane, like a Canadian goose during turkey season
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.
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.
19:21 that Cody Ceci reference made me laugh! This game is fantastic
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!
Every stick throw had my rollin
This is incredible content, NL please keep this one around. I was legit doubled over laughing
This is the kind of gameplay that made the older sports games so much more fun than the modern day hyper-realistic game.
This was actually so hype. Had my ass laughing so hard, my man throwing his stick like a tomahawk.
I hope this becomes a series when its out this was a great watch
Demo was so fun, awesome to see NL get onto this one!
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
thank you for reminding me of the "you can't hug every cat" video. i adored that girl, i wonder what shes up to
I know nothing about hockey and this had me in tears. Hope to see more of this game!
This video is Pog City. I would love a few more episodes of this game
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.
my hockey exposure is exclusively from listening to nl talk about it, have absolutely no idea what offside means but this is poggy
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
The stick fling gets me every time
Wow, this really is made for him fr
Like Golfie and Cursed to golf... Which he abandoned after couple hours.. criminal
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.
This is the most pegged a series has had me for a while.
May NL play this for the rest of time, so pegged right now
I've never seen a hockey game before, but NL's commentary and enjoyment are just off the charts!!
This is it. This is the game ive dreamed of.
Lets go.
19:23 "Horrendous shot, just call me Cody Ceci"
Leafs/Senators/Oilers fan laughed AND cried at this one
did the devs make a game just for NL? cause I am here for it!!!!
35:47 my man is hype
I hope to see more of this game as it comes out! This is funny
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
the drama of these matches is incredible. true heart break and glory
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 😁
The referee is carrying
That final game was the funniest ice hockey match I've ever seen (admittedly I haven't seen many but gosh) 😂
The stick throw celebration was just peak comedic timing
I think I legitimately laughed out loud like 5 times during that first game. My pog cup runneth over.
5:47 For those who don't know this is actually just what provincial hockey leagues look like in northern Ontario
The pure joy at display in this video truly makes for a great viewing experience.
Insanely fun to watch!
The McShaggy brothers. Priceless.
McShaggy me now or McShaggy me later. Ya Baby!
New drinking game, take a shot every time he says “Gretzky’s office”
Never seen NL so pogged playing a game
Incredible game, I really hope we see more of this! Hockey banter best banter
the ref checking the other team as SOON as the puck drops has me in fucking stitches
Comments: OMG I’m so happy to see NL play a game he actually enjoys
Me and Maury: midnight Suns analytics determined that was a lie
As a fellow Canadian I want more of this game
The ref throwing hands sent me every time 😂😂
Great game, looking forward to seeing it in full version!
Greetings from Czechia
Oh my god I got so hype for the dangle at 16:10. What a goal!
This is fantastic! I hope there is more of this on the future! NL at his best!
I could not stop laughing at the the ref, greatest powerup of all time.
Dude, I love how much you love this game. 😀
it's rare to see nl this hype over a game
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.
watching the ref bodycheck is hilarious
The glove on the Ref's goalie was insane!
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.
I have never been this pegged in my life!!! This content slaps!
Looking forward to seeing more of this when the full game comes out!
That was a blast. 10/10 am watching again!
NL is so fun to watch play sports games - this is fantastic
Was missing switch golf and now this gem appears. Glued to my screen the whole time. More please!!!
I didnt think I would like this, but NL´s icehockey knowledge makes it really entertaining.
This makes me want to see an NHL career mode series
The ref really was his best player
Please make this a series. I'll watch every episode!
And NL described exactly how I play the EA hockey games. I keep wondering why I'm always shorthanded.
Don't know if anyone has commented on this yet - to me it seems like the goalie on the ref's team is from baseball: the short-sleeved shirt, the mask which looks as the one used by the umps in baseball. Hilarious game, btw and awesome commentary by NL. Can't wait for this so be released.
Re-watch the first couple games but focus on the ref, straight comedy!
