 We are hoping that we land on some packs today. What's going on there finishers, Lee for back again and welcome back to the Wheel of Hut. Today, we are hoping we have some better luck on the wheel. If you guys missed last episode, the link will be in the description down below before I spoil it for you. I'll wait here for you guys to decide whether or not you want to watch the first episode or not. Okay, now that's done. Last episode, we landed on sets. We were able to upgrade our X Factor Connecting up to an 81 and then our second spin got us a bankrupt which we still need to minus 2269 coins once we have access to the auction house which should happen after our first game of the episode. But before we can head into our first game, we need to spin the wheel for the first time. We're hoping for some better luck. We do not want to hit bankrupt. We want to hit some packs man. We've yet to open up packs. We won both our games last episode with the team that we had with lots of silvers and bronzes. I don't think that will be the case today, right? So we're hoping for some packs. Let's go boys. First spin of the episode and we are getting open up one pack. Okay, we were hoping for some packs. We got it. We're happy. Okay, so now in terms of packs, I am able to open up any pack I want that is in the store at the time that I am recording the episode. So I got to make a decision that NHL Players Pack looks pretty good. It would help us out a lot. We get 10 items all gold NHL players with at least 480 pluses. We got the premium players packs where you get 280 pluses. And then we have this puck offer drop, which we have 17 days to get. We get one times 82 plus five times 80 pluses and two power up collectibles. So I'm kind of leaning towards the puck drop offer over the NHL players packs. I want to kind of look at the odds 46% chance at an 83 plus. And we have a 3.1% chance at an 86 plus. What is it for an 86 plus here? 1.3. So you know what? We're going to go with the puck drop offer pack. Now these cards are untradable. So let's see what our 82 plus is going to be. Hopefully it is a good player that we can throw onto the team. I mean, anything that we pull here is going to be good. Kevin Shattaker going to make the team. So anything that we pull here, any gold cards that we pull essentially are going to make the team right off the bat. Okay, so there's a power up collectible. There's our other power up collectible. We're still waiting for our 82 plus. And it's going to be Jamie Ben don't know how I feel about that. But again, it's an upgrade over anything. You've got power forward, very slow man. 82 speed, 82 Excel. Decent looking shot. I mean, he could be good. Trevor Zegris. Okay, two 82 pluses in this pack. Is this pack juiced or what? Zegris looks good. Playmaking forward 87 speed, 87 Excel. Good shooting stats. Good hands. Okay, we will take a Trevor Zegris another. Okay, Dan Vladar. Our goal turner was good last game. Do we put in Dan Vladar? That is a question. I mean, 65209. I'm going to consider throwing him in there. Okay, what is this pack? What is this pack? Two 82s and an 83. Elias Lindholm. Welcome to the team. Playmaking forward, which is a synergy I want to get going. He has an ability as well being snipe. Fast, decent shot. Okay, we will take an Elias Lindholm. Joelle will probably make the team as well. And then a goalie mask, but hey, good first pack for the series that we've opened. Zegris, Ben, Vladar, Lindholm and Joelle. Welcome to the team. And Shana Kirk, my bad. Okay, changes have been made to the team. Our first line is looking pretty juicy now. Travis Connect needs playing with Elias Lindholm and Tyler Abert. Who's either leading goal scorer of this team? We have Jamie Ben would Trevor Zegris and Spencer Watson. And then we got Nick Robertson who got the motor down to the third line playing with Pierre and Akan. And then we got Lafferty playing with Big Leary. Big Leady, sure. And Nathan Espinel. And then on D, we have Shana Kirk with Nose. We got Areola Helgeson. And then we got Dillingham, Morelli with Payar. And then in net, we did put in Dan of Ladar. So the team is looking good. Still only have two-way defensemen activated. We're one off a two-way forward, one off a defensive defenseman and four off a defensive boot. So we are getting there. In terms of our abilities here, we have Konekni with no contest. We have Zegris with puck on a string. Jamie Ben with back atcha. Tyler Bertuzzi with crease, Crasher and Elizlyn Holm will now have Snipe activated as well. So the team is looking decent. It's time to head into the first game of the episode. Now this episode we have Hutt Rival's Burst which is two-minute periods of 5v5, all right? So after this game, we will probably have access to the auction house. At that time, I will go buy something for 2,269 coins and technically go bankrupt, but I will stop some coins left over because I played a game last episode and I will be playing a game now. All right, we have found our first game, Kamakar Jackuz and Marten St. Louis. This guy looks like he has a pretty decent squad on the other side. It should be an interesting game. So we got a couple of debuts here after opening our first pack in this series. This guy has played a lot of Ultimate Team 29, 23 and two is his record overall. We are 2-0. Let's try to keep that perfect record up, boys, all right? Konekni? So Bertuzzi and Bertuzzi on his first shot is gonna score. He is our leading goal scorer to continue. I believe that's his third this series at a boy, Bertuzzi, assistant from Konekni as well. And Lin Holman is debut. Not the start I was expecting, but hey, we're up 1-0. Tyler Bertuzzi has been a staple to this team. I'm not gonna lie. Okay, we're on the kill for about 53 seconds. What a play. No, okay, okay. Dude, my team feels so delayed in everything they're doing right now. It's actually crazy. We gotta watch out. He's got Joe Sake too. This guy's got a very good hockey team. There we go, here we go. Nice, get around him. Take it to the net, Zegris! Nice try, he still has it. We're gonna do it. We're doing it, boys. We tried, we tried. We had to. It was with Zegris. You gotta try it with Zegris, man. I feel like you just have to. Oh, what a pass and what a goal, man. He just, I don't know. I did not see that pass being something that was gonna be able to go through the slot like that. It ended up happening. Timo Solani makes it a one-to-one hockey game. Oh boy. Little bit worried here, boys. He's a decent player with a good team. It's not looking good, all right. Let's remember the type scenario that he's been doing. All right, we did it. All right, good, good, good. There you go. Low shot rebound, that wasn't really low shot, but we still have it. Take it to the net. Oh, okay, that almost got deflected in for us. Here we are. Oh, what a poke. End of one, the game is pretty even. Even shots, close to even time on attack. I mean, hell, this guy's a good team. I keep saying it. We just gotta keep playing our game and chipping away at this. Where is my defense? What does he do? Bro, this game actually sucks. This game actually sucks. What has my defense been doing? Hello, EA, come on, man. Need a better product than this. This should not be happening in 2023. Bro, his AI is just like attacking me constantly. It's not even him. What a pass, what a goal. We're down two to one. He's letting his AI control the game. I thought EA kind of fixed that. Doesn't really look like it though. I mean, hey, at the end of the day, he's got a better team. There's not much really we can expect right now. It's a little tough. I kind of have high hopes after the last episode and beating two guys with a team that I had. This one's gonna be more of a challenge. Take it to the middle. Get that puck, shoot it again. Horrible, like why would I want a backhand shot there? I wanted it on the forehand, not gonna work out. Good catch. And you know what? I'm just not even gonna control. If he scores, he scores. I can't believe that puck bounced to him somehow. That's a nice toe drag. I'm not gonna lie. Here we go. Over across Robertson. Oh my God, the deflection, the fact that I got to Robertson is insane. What a save, man. End of two, he's up by one. Just gotta keep playing our hearts out here, man. I don't know. This team does not feel as good as it did episode one. I'm gonna say that right now. Could it be because we're playing a better player? It's possible for sure. Who really knows? I mean, we got a third period ahead of us. We got 20 minutes to play out. We have time to tie this up. I have faith, I believe. No way Bertuzzi's getting knocked around that easily. Not my Tyler Bertuzzi. No, I wanted that around the board, that's okay. Played out of front, bang, Tyler Bertuzzi with a second of the game, fourth of the series. This card has carried, same with Travis Konekni. This first line is insane. Tie game, bang, what a goal. Let's go, boys. Okay, need faster passing, just need a faster brain. If that's possible, if someone can give me that, that'd be great. So Jamie Ben, Jamie Ben takes a hit. It's gonna work out, our player's almost dead tired. Take it to the net, bang, holy saves. Oh my God, goal tender. Keeping them in it as they should. What a poke, oh my God, that was gonna go in if we didn't get a stick on that. Brian Gianta coming in, he's gonna play to the point. I knew it too, knee poke, knee poke. Seven seconds here, boys. Don't know where the puck is, it's just bouncing to him. We're gonna hold on to it, I lied, we're not. And we're heading to overtime and we have a power play going into it. He took a penalty, it's a good thing we played that puck. Overtime it is, tied at 2-2. We could win this, boys. We could absolutely win this. Okay, Tyler Bertuzzi to Sam Lafferty. Need to get something going here. There you go, okay, okay, okay. Bertuzzi, oh, Bertuzzi's still looking for his first hat trick. He had two goals in the last episode as well. Nice, Bertuzzi. You're fine, you're fine, Bertuzzi. No way he pokes that puck. Oh, and this is game. Yep, I knew it as soon as he had that opportunity. We lose our first game and not in regulation though, so I guess that's something. But, I don't know, man, it was tough. This team just feels so heavy, so slow. They get knocked off so easily. Comes with the territory, it's not a great team, obviously. And I mean, looking at our player stats here, Bertuzzi with another two goal performances up to two. Connect me with two assists, Lynn Holm with an assist. It was our first line that played the game well. Other than that, our team did not play well. In terms of Dan Volotar, I mean, 800 safe percentage for an 80 overall goal tender you can't really ask for more. And then looking at the stats, it was a pretty even game, could have gone either way. We still don't have access to the auction house because you need to win three games to have access to the auction house. Why does that make sense? Don't know, but we can't go bankrupt yet, so sorry, boys. All right, so we finished that game, lost it in overtime, it's okay. We take it, it's fine. But with that being said, we're back to the board and we're back to having to spin the board. I have to take my headphones off because there's no range of motion when I do it, so we're on open one pack. We're looking for some more packs because the team definitely needs help. So here we go, spinning the wheel for the second time this episode and we're opening up three packs. Oh, baby, we couldn't ask for a much better spin. Three packs are gonna help us out big time. I think, I mean, we go with the NHL players pack. I think they're better than the premium players packs. We get to open up three of these. I have to look at the wheel one more time just to be sure, but three of these NHL players packs get to be open and we're hoping for something big here, right? Ravel, Harvey, Panhard, again, anything that we pull essentially right now is gonna help the team, right? So LaFrenier gonna help out the team for sure. Colton Sissons, okay. Morgan Frost, our centers are pretty stacked right now. I wouldn't say stacked, but where we have most of our gold players, Morgan Frost might be able to play the wing though. Erica Branson, Jacob Silverberg, Daniel Sprong, okay, not too bad. Oh my God, okay. And we pull game day Evgeny Malkin, who just got upgraded to an 85 because his team won the game the other day. Evgeny Malkin with playmaking forward, like I said, we're trying to get that synergy activated. Little slow, but his shot's amazing, great hands, good checking stats, good decent defensive stats. That is a huge pull. Our first big pull of the series, that is amazing. Welcome to the team, Geno Malkin and then Luke Glendening and Jonas Johansson starting goaltender by the way. I mean Evgeny Malkin, hello. Welcome to the team. Can we top that though? That is a question. I don't think we will be able to, but you never know. Brent Seabrook, okay. Nikita Zadorov, Dmitri Kulikov, Sean Durzi, we're getting some good defensemen, which we actually do need some good defensemen. Our D felt so slow last game. Mikhail Granlin, we're getting speedier. We love to see it. Torpchenko, okay. Phillip Zadina, David Perron and Scott Wedgwood, okay. Not as good as the last pack, but again, these players will help out the team for sure. I don't doubt it. And last but not least, the third and final pack from the wheel. What will we get? Again, can we top a Geno Malkin? Who knows? Andres Jonson, some more speed, okay. Bovillier, not too bad. Jake Muzzin, Darcy Kemper, okay. We have a good goaltender. Darcy Kemper, 82 overall, 6-5. Okay, we're happy with that. We will take a Darcy, we will take a Kalyev. Ooh, okay, we pull another goaltender. Do we use this Phillip Gustafson instead? He's 6'2", 184, probably faster than Kemper. I think we try out Gustafson, and then if he doesn't work, we have Kemper to lean on as well, okay. Not too bad. Eric Chernak, Pat Maroon, Kevin LeBank and Nosek. Okay, so not too bad of these packs, three of them. They helped the team tremendously. Let's throw out, let's throw out, let's throw on some of these guys to the team. So boys, it looks like Robertson and Lafferty are on their way out. Morgan Frost is gonna be our fourth line center for the time being. Robertson and Lafferty, they were great while they were here, but you know, better players come along and you gotta use them. Okay, so we have updated the team with all of the good pulls that we have gotten from those three packs. So this is what the team was looking like. This first line was already cooking. You add in, Evgeny Malkin with Connecting and Bertuzzi. You gotta assume that Bertuzzi and Connecting are just gonna continue to play well. Second line's looking way better. Daniel Sprung, Elias Lindholm and Jamie Ben. Third line will be Laffer and Yeh. Zegris and LeBank. And the fourth line will be Silverberg, Frost and Panard, which we threw in to get playmaking forward activated, which is gonna be huge for Laffer and Yeh. Zegris, Malkin, Lindholm, Frost and Harvey Panard. Okay, and then on defense, we have Chernak playing with Nikita Zadorov. We have Shandurzi with Dimitri Kulakov. And then we have Kevin Shadakirk playing with Jake Muzin and then Inet. We have Gustafson, who we're gonna try out first over Darcy Kemper. Looking at our abilities, we gotta activate ankle breaker onto Evgeny Malkin. Other than that, it's all the same stuff, right boys? So we're heading into our second game with a different looking team with hopefully a better feeling team as well. We really have no excuses for the next one. Second game has been found. Darlene Barkov and Steven Stamko's decent looking team. But our team's looking pretty good now too. So we, I don't know. Let's just see how they perform. I'm excited to try out this Evgeny Malkin on the top line with Bertuzzi and Konekni. This guy has a similar record to me. So it's good to see, it's good to see. So I'm getting dumped and chased on, which is honestly almost worked. It looked like our defenseman was not gonna go do anything about it. What a pass to Konekni. Okay, Bertuzzi, bang. Oh my God, Bertuzzi is like the goal man on this team. I feel like he's getting another chance. It's a great, great defensive play by him. I'm not gonna lie. Skated, I believe that's Sean Durzi. Playback, Sean Durzi, first shot on goal. Good save. Over across, oh my God, Flurry is robbin' us. Don't know how we're not up by at least one. I really don't. End of one. And I feel like we're playing better. Four shots to his none. More than double his time on attack. We're feeling good. The team's looking good, feeling good. We need Malkin to win a draw though. He's worrying me just a little bit here, boys. Good long pass. Travis waiting up for Bertuzzi. Nothing really opened up for us there. Konekni just take the shot. The rebound with Malkin and Flurry robbin' his former teammate. Oh my goodness. Here we go, Daniel Sprong. No, that's Jamie Ben. That's Jamie Ben. I gotta get used to the new lines. Jamie Ben to the net. And Jamie Ben's gonna score in his second game of the series. He's gonna make it a one-nothing hockey game assistant from Nikita Zadorov and Daniel Sprong. Okay, boys, good stuff. Little backhand sauce. Cut to the middle. I see Zegris. Take it to the net. Zegris and Trevor Zegris. And his second game, I believe, makes it two to nothing. Assistant from Kevin LeBank and Eric Chernak. Bang, we are finally scoring some goals here, boys. It's nice. Kevin LeBank, what's he got cooking? That's what a lot of people are asking. That's silverware. It's not even Kevin LeBank. I don't know who's who on the ice right now. It's actually not good. That might cost us a goal here. Bang, big save. And okay, well, we had the flying pole check there. It's it offside on my screen, so I thought I was offside with Bertuzzi. Clearly we weren't. And it kind of cost us a goal cause I was trolling. Two to one. It's okay. It's okay. I'm not too too worried. We're playing way better. Poor Philip Gustafson on his first two shots. I mean, he made the flying poke and then the rebound just kind of trickled out to his guy. Can't really evaluate Gustafson right now. You know what I mean? I kind of feel bad for the guy. It wasn't his fault. It was on me. Nice. Gino, take the shot. Oh, good save. Travis Konekni. There's Gino Malkin open. Oh my God, what a save from Flurry. Gino cannot figure out his former teammate Flurry. Gino, out of front. Bang. Oh my God, Bertuzzi. I don't know how Bertuzzi does not have a goal this game. I really do not. We got full pressure activated. I feel a Bertuzzi goal coming here. Here we go, boys. Here we go. Missus is hit. Oh, that was kind of a weak shot. Our guys are tired to be fair, man. So let's get it changed. Take it to the net. All right, Flurry, man. Kept that a one goal game, but we take the win, boys. That is absolutely massive. And now we have access to the auction house. Finally, man. Oh my God. And we're getting some coins here as well. We completed some objectives as well. So there's nothing up for 2269. So it looks like we're gonna have to do 2250. Gonna be close enough to bankrupt. We'll buy this Dallas Stars jersey and we're just gonna hang on to it, all right? So there we go. There is finally our bankrupt portion of the series. We're still at 5.9K, which is pretty good. So if we land on by any player, we can probably land someone pretty decent. Since its rivals burst, and the games are pretty short, we're gonna play one more game in this episode. So that means we have to get this, or we have to, we get to spin the wheel. Before our last and final game of this episode, we landed on three packs earlier and one pack way back earlier this episode. So, okay, we get more packs, we buy a special card, buy any player. Let's see what we're gonna end up getting here on our final last spin of the episode, and it is gonna be open up one pack. So in total, this episode, we have opened up five Ultimate Team packs, which is absolutely beautiful. We needed this. Back to the store, and I think we're gonna go back to the NHL Players pack. I mean, these packs, I don't really wanna open these Hut Headliner packs. So we have one pack to open. That's what the wheel gave us. And I forgot to switch scenes. So we're opening up the NHL Players packs. Thank God I noticed last second. All right, David Kampf, Joe Pavelski. All right, to go along with Jamie Ben, we will take a Joe Pavelski. That's a good pull. Ryan Nugent Hopkins, two-a-two overall. So the team is looking mighty fine with those two pulls. Eric Halla, Chad Roodewheel, Trevor Moore, all right. We're getting faster, which we like. Sam Lafferty, who already have Anthony Ranta, another good goal tender to have. And Capo Coco, all right. So we got some pretty good cards there. Nugent Hopkins, Pavelski being the two big ones. Let's go throw them onto the team. All right, so Jakob Silverbrick had a little good run on this team. After getting Joe Pavelski, he is unfortunately getting off of the team. Okay, so really only two changes to this team. Maybe three. The first line staying the same. Second line, now Halla Pavelski playing with Lin Holm and Jamie Ben. The third line is now gonna be Daniel Sprung, Trevor Zegris and Ryan Nugent Hopkins. The fourth line will be Harvey Pinar, Morgan Frost and Trevor Moore. What I might do is switch around Ben and Nugent Hopkins to get some more speed onto that second line. The third line is pretty fast already so we can afford a slower player like Jamie Ben there. Defensively, we're staying the exact same. Goal tending, we are also staying the exact same. Third game, Koyvu Hughes Coffee. Oh boy, all right, we're coming up against a very, very good team. He's got some icons in there. It's gonna be interesting. Another Montreal Habs fan, which is okay. Let's see how this game goes, but we're gonna take advantage. Evgeny Malkin, take the shot. Okay, good hit from Konekni. That's a penalty, what? The puck was right there. And I was also spamming up on the right stick to get the rebound. And instead, we get a penalty to start off the game. All right, not ideal, not ideal at all, boys. Let's go, Malkin. Low shot rebound, and there it is. Bang, who scored that? Joe Pavowski in his debut. The player that I forgot. He makes it a one to nothing hockey game. Malkin with an assist. And same with Eric Chernacker. That was a good low shot rebound there. I knew that we needed something like that. God, whoever that is is so fast. Paul Coffey, my God. Good block. Jake Muzzin playing offense this shift. No, I did not want that there, but it might work out. Bertuzzi over to Konekni. Oh my God, just misses the net and the first period will end with us up one nothing. Back to Gino. To Bertuzzi, and Bertuzzi hits the post. Oh my God, Tyler Bertuzzi has gotten a little bit snakebitten since scoring the two goals in the first episode. Oh, that's a rebound that you don't want to see. Thank God. But yeah, Tyler Bertuzzi just can't find the back of the net right now. He's getting the chances. Just cannot find the back of the net. Good poke. Man, we really need to upgrade our defense. If we land on like by any player or something like that, we are going to need to get some defenseman. This guy loves his Michigan, man. My God, we are cooking. All right, it's okay. That's a good pass. That's a good block, though. Here we go with the Michigan. All he's trying for, man, is the Michigan. How he still has his puck, I'm not too sure. And he gets that puck through my defenseman that's sitting right on top of Joe Sakek. One-one game. Yeah, man, it's interesting. And the two, he definitely had a way better period than the first one, so not great on my end. We're still tied, though, so we're in this game. Good poke. Good hit. Up the ice, there we go. Oh, we're gone. We're gone, we're actually gone. Go, go, go. Nugent Hopkins. Over across, bang. What a save from Bobrovsky. All right, both wingers just not on their side. That pickup was great until it went right back to him. So that's something as well. Okay, interesting, interesting. Here we go with the frickin' Michigan. Such a loser, dude. All right, here we go. Over across, bang. Nice, dodge of the hit. Over across, Jamie Ben. And it goes in. I don't care. I do not care how it went in. 2.5 to go. And Daniel Sprong with the biggest snipe you will ever see. Oh, baby. We are watching this too. This guy going for Michigan's 24-7. This has to be the goal of the year so far in NHL 24, boys. Come on, look at this, right? Pass, sniped, bang. We take it. Let's go, boys. All right, so, I mean, two and a half seconds to go. We're gonna tie it up. We're gonna dump it in, and we are going to call it a game. We come out this episode 2-0-1. We haven't lost a regulation yet this series, which is nice. And we're getting an achievement as well. So we are in division three with this team. Maybe we should have lost that game to get a lower division, but hey, it's okay. We're gonna watch this coin total go up as well. To the game, we're up to 6,400 coins. We have an objective as well, which is gonna give us 1,000 coins. So we're up to 7,400 coins, which makes me a little nervous because bankrupt is always a possibility. So hopefully we can land them by any player soon and pick up a decent player for that coin amount. But anyways, guys, that is going to be Ifritay's episode.
