 That is right, we are back with Monopoly Hut in NHL 22. Let's get it. Yo, what's going on, Leaf Nationally for Back Again, and welcome back to the channel. Today, this is episode one of Monopoly Hut. We are gonna run through it this year, I hope anyways. I'm excited to do this. The board is looking amazing, so let's show you what the board is looking like this year. So looking here, just a bunch of packs on the board. If we're looking at the first strip here, we got just the regular packs, we got Banker Up, we got Buying Any Player, we got Roll Again, and then we got the Upgrade Set. So with the Upgrade Set, we can do the one where we trade in 80 plus overalls for an 82 plus, the Gold Upgrade, Silver Upgrades, and maybe even X-Factor Upgrades, depending if we get any X-Factors we want to upgrade. Looking at the second half of the strip, left side of the board, we got a regular pack, we got special packs, we got Buying Any Player Again, we got Miss a Turn, and we got Discard Best Player, which would be our best overall player. Looking at the top of the board, we have regular packs again, we got a pack line, so we open up a pack, use the players in the pack, and put them on a line. Special packs again, Buying Any Player, we got Community Chest, which we still have the envelope from two years ago when you guys gave me suggestions for the Community Chest. We have Pink Slips. So Pink Slips we haven't really landed on in previous years, but how this works is we head into a Div Rivals game, like we would play any regular game. If we win against our opponent, we get to look at his team, and we get to choose our favorite player on his team and buy him off of the auction market. And then looking at the right side of the board, regular packs, we got Chance, we got Buying Any Player, Buying Any Special Card, Bankrupt, and Second Chance, and what Second Chance is, is if we land on Discard Best Player, we have a chance to bring that player back. So we don't discard him, we just take him off of the team for the time being until we can land on Second Chance and get that player there. So pretty self-explanatory. Without further ado, let's make our HUD team and have our first role of the episode. All right, Hockey Ultimate Team, we are here. Team name, Monopoly HUD, let's get, let's get it going here. Abbreviation, as always, MUT, and Open Starter Pack. I don't think anyone would take this team name. So we should be good, we're checking, I don't know what we're checking. All right, here is our starter pack. Let's open it up, see who we do get, we're gonna get our Leaf, you know, Uniforms and Logo, Arena, all that good stuff. I'm excited to see who our X Factor's gonna be. I'm excited to see what Gold Players we are gonna get from here. Because our starter team's gonna be a little rough and most likely we're gonna be heading into our first game with some Silvers and maybe some Bronzes on our team. So I don't know how that's gonna go because you know, this is a totally different game. So let's see what we get here, just a bunch of Silvers. I'm excited to see who our X Factor player is gonna be. We're gonna wait to see. So we get David Camp, we get Justin Hall and we get Jake Muzzin, not too bad. So let's see who our X Factor is. Ooh, Kyle Conner, that isn't bad. That actually isn't too bad, I've seen worse. So we will take that, get started, skip the tutorial. We know all this good stuff here. Nothing to be really worried about. We get our free pack obviously, which we're just gonna skip. There's probably gonna be nothing in it, 600 coins. We will definitely take that. And yeah, so what we're gonna do, we have our returning user packs to open. We're gonna do the tip set packs as well. So I will do that quickly. And then I'll catch up with you guys. All right, so we collected a bunch of coins and a bunch of packs from doing those tip sets. We now have nine unopened packs. We're gonna get straight into them here. We're probably gonna skip all the loyalty rewards. We have a 81 overall choice pack, a player's pack and a mini pack. So we'll start with the mini pack, see if there's something in there. And then from the loyalties, we will skip. And then after all of this, we get to roll a dice and potentially open up more packs, which is just great. So nothing out of that, no big deal. We had a feeling there was gonna be nothing there. These loyalty reward packs, I got nothing out of them in my main account. So we're just gonna skip this. Chris Tierney, not too bad, that'll help out the team. We gotta remember, anything at this point is good. Power up collectible, that can help us with that Kyle Conner, which is huge. Another gold player's 750 coins, that's good to see. I really hope we don't roll bankrupt the first roll because we are sitting on a decent amount of coins, 3.5K to be exact. So let's hope that we don't roll in bankrupt. We got another Leafs jersey, no other gold player there, okay. Well, we did get Chris Tierney, he'll get onto the team. A power up collectible is huge for those X factors when we pull any of them. These guys will make the team realistically another five from their coins. Those 75s and 76s will make the team ideally because our team is pretty garbage to be honest. So I guess we'll take the gold players coming our way. Tyler Mott, anything else? Johnston, and that's about it. Last loyalty reward pack, or no, second last loyalty reward pack. Okay, another 750 coins. We'll take the coin bonuses, man. Like I said, I really hope we don't roll bankrupt because, man, we'd be losing out on 4.8K right now. We get another mini pack here. So I was right about that last loyalty pack being the last one. Anything on this one? No. Okay, so we got an 81 overall choice pack, 81. I think I said that. Let's see what 81 we could get. Hopefully something good. James Reimer, Ty Smith, Kevin Lankinen, and ooh, team of the week, Sammy Vanden. I think we're gonna go with that just because it's a team of the week. It's a pretty sweet looking car too if we get bombarded, activated. So you know what, we'll take a Sammy Vanden. Maybe we shoulda took a gold tender. Yeah, just because our gold tender is probably not the greatest right now. But we'll take a Sammy Vanden. Now we got a players pack. 10 items, all players, at least five gold players, and 180 plus overall. So let's see if we can get in here. I've seen some crazy pulls out of these packs. So all right, there's our gold tender. I'm not gonna, I'm so bad at pronouncing his name. So we pull Alex. The newest Detroit Red Wing will take that. Maxime Mammon, okay. Tucker Pullman, anything else? No, nothing else. But hey, we will definitely take an Alex and let's throw these guys on the team before we roll the dice, see what we're looking at, and then we'll look up from there. All right, so this is what the team is looking like after those packs. It's not good, Doug. Like Tierney Mott, Kyle Conner, Day Harnay. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much it. Defense is looking a little decent, whole Muzzin, Vanden and Pullman, Thomas, and yep, that guy's name. And then we got Alex in it. So hopefully the board blesses us some more packs because as of now, this is just not it, chief. All right, first roll of the episode of the series. And we're using our phone for a roll the dice and we get a four. So a four, looking at the board, is open up one pack. So we're opening up one premium pack. All right, let's hope this premium pack is holding the most juiciest of juiciest poles here for us because we need something to help the team out here. So here we go, something here. Brandon Smith, that's actually our defense. We don't need defense, man. That's a little tough, actually. We do not need defense. Give me a forward because our forward core is not looking promising at all. All right, another defenseman and a center who's a silver. So this does not help us out one bit. That is so tough. Oh, we do get this EA play starter pack. I totally forgot about that. So let's open this up here real quick. Maybe there's something in here. Another chance to give us something good. Are you a forward? All right, that's not bad. We get a center there, so that's gonna remove some of the silver players in our team. Michael Shaput, Mason Mitchell. Can we get something big here? That'd be greatly appreciated here. Come on, something, no? Defenseman, defenseman. Any good forwards? No, all right. Well, our luck in packs are just not a thing so far to start off the year. That's a little tough. So I know we did get a better center. Let's throw him in. McMaster, don't mind if I do. Okay, yeah, Zach, yeah, okay. I mean, a plus two upgrade there on the left side here. I guess that's our lineup going into game one. It's gonna be interesting to say the least, man. Now you guys let me know what I can do with upgrading these guys, because as of now, I could upgrade Kyle Connor up to an 82. Now you guys let me know, because it is using my coins. Should I use X factor upgrades only when I land on the spot on the board? Should I make another spot for it on the board or should I do it whenever I want to? You guys let me know in the comment section below. For now, we're gonna keep them out of 74. Okay, so without further delay, it's time to head into our first rivals game. And as you can see here, we need to play five placement games. So I'm gonna play two this episode and then the final three off camera most likely. This way we can get some packs for the week. So we've seen what the team's looking like. It's not great. This is my first online game of the year. Haven't played one on my main account either. So this should be interesting, especially with a team like this. I don't have high hopes. So if we lose, don't be surprised. Also, since this is a trial, I'm not sure if we're gonna find too many people to play as we find an opponent. I'll keep my mouth shut. Who does he have? Braden Point, Johnny Goudreau, William Nylander. We are gonna get shit on. Hey, it doesn't matter. We're playing games. We got to upgrade our team, obviously. It's gonna be interesting to see how this goes. Wish me luck, guys. There you go. All right, here we go. Off to the races. Little toe drag. Get through one. Good pokes. Get that across. Oh, no. We couldn't get the shot off there. Good play, though. Our defense is good, which is a good thing, obviously. There you go. Decent passing. Kyle Conner. They are, they, they are named. I couldn't say his name for some reason. One-nothing. He gets the first goal for Monopoly Huck. Kyle Conner getting an assist. Peter Quinville getting the secondary one-nothing. Great start for the boys. Let's keep it up. There you go. Oh, this guy's got wheels. Across to Conner. Oh, my. Almost made a two-nothing there. Kyle Conner's still on the sides, by the way. Same with Sammy Vattenin, who's about to score a goal. Good shot. Let's go, Hall. There you go. Get that across. Chris Tierney from Justin Hall. What a fucking rush from Justin Hall. That's my defenseman. Shutdown Mountain Justin Hall. Gets an assist. Chris Tierney gets us on the board. Two-nothing lead before the first period ends. We love it. The icing on the cake right there for the first period. No, end the period off like this, please. And that's the end of one. We're up two-nothing. Things you'll love to see. Looking at the stats. He is dominating us on time and attack, almost a minute more. We have four shots to a zero, which is great. And we're up two-nothing. I quickly do want to see this guy's team because he clearly has a way better team. And I don't know if he quit there or if the servers just shit on us. We did get the win. He quit. So we get a rage quit in our first game. Absolutely beautiful. We love to see that. We were dominating. I felt like we played better than him. Besides the time on attack. Now we can actually see his team. So Jake Muzzin, Marcus Foligno, Morgan Riley at an 83. Tom Wilson, Neylanders at an 82. What's a John? He's hockey raiding. An 82. Potvin. Oh my God. He had an 86. Hut icon, Potvin. That card art is beautiful. So he had a good team to say the least, guys. And we were able to win it. We made him rage quit. Or maybe his trial even ended. Who knows, man? But we will take that two-nothing win. It's time to get back to the board. Before we get to the board, we completed a bunch of objectives here. So we get a bunch of coins, which is nice. We finished something in the training camp. That's 500 coins. So we are currently up to 6.5K. My goodness. Let's not go bankrupt. All right, so last time around, we rolled a four, which was one premium pack. So hopefully we can get a better roll. Maybe get some more packs here. So roll the dice and we get a five. So five again is, once again, open up one premium pack. So let's head to the store. We all know that these premium packs ain't the greatest. And we're definitely not gonna get a pull in one of them. But at this point, we're trying to build our team. Anything, any gold player at this point would help our team out tremendously. So let's see what we get in this pack here. And Owen Stevens, that can help our offense for sure. We don't need defensemen, which is the one thing I was noticing. Quinton Byfield, that's a great pull. Actually excited to use him. We will definitely need him. Good luck in card there. Quinton Byfield, welcome. One more gold player would be nice here, maybe. We get another power-up collectible, a gold tender in James Reimer, which we don't need a gold tender, but we get a power-up collectible, which is huge. And a Tri-City Americans jersey. So not a bad pack. Let's go throw those guys onto the team. So McMaster, I think he did something last year, I'm not too sure, but he's gonna get substituted for Quinton Byfield. Welcome to the team, Quinton. And he will be playing second line minutes, even though Deharne scored the first goal of the series. He's now demoted to the third line. And that left wing that we pulled, I don't think we're gonna be able to use him unless he's a right-handed player, which absolutely sucks. Technically he is better here. We do have Maxman, who's better as well. Speedwise, the same. Nolan Stevens is actually looking better here. We'll throw him into the lineup. We'd even pull him, but we'll throw him in there. And that is our fourth line done. Our left side here is still a bunch of silvers, which isn't good. And the defenseman that we pulled, don't think he'll make the team. I was wrong. Yeah, he's not making the team. So that's it. That's all the changes that we made was Quinton Byfield on the second line and Stevens, because he had better skating. Well, since our first game went so well, it's time to head into the second game. Debut Quinton Byfield. Hopefully he can do something for us here. And hopefully we can collect another win here. And we found our second game against Rizzy. He has Ovi, Aho, and Gensel. Okay, this should be another interesting one. I don't have a good feeling about it. I'll be honest. Is that the tyranny? Oh, good pop. Oh, did he not trip? I thought he tripped me. Good save. Good stick left. Yeah, this guy knows what he's doing, dude. Good save. That rebound was not ideal. Came right back out to Aho. We gave up our first goal. And I mean, looking at the cards he has, dude, this guy's got a really good team. This is gonna be a rough one. Okay, all right. This is just not going the way I wanted. You can really tell the difference between my shitty cards to his really good cards. There you go, Kyle Conner. Away to the races. Oh, good save by Flurry. Good chance. Finally got something going there, so. I don't know. Hopefully the signs are looking up here. Halsey playing his heart out on defense. Hull of Muzzin together, man. Real pairing in real life works in the game, I guess. Up up to Muzzin. Ah, we tried. This is not good. Muzzin's back, though. Good poke from Hull. Another great poke from Justin Hull. Things you'll love to see. Take a shot at Muzzin. Period's ending. Not a great first period to say the least, man. I did not feel good at all. And looking at the stats, you can just tell how bad we're playing. Dominating us time on attack. Shot wise, it's close. I'm not feeling good with this team, dude. I mean, look at this, Ovi. John Carlson in an 85. Aho at an 84. Keith at an 80, okay. Nugent Hopkins, Spurgeon. Yeah, Jack Hughes, and then he has Flurry and Ed, who's in 86, so it's gonna be tough to beat Mark Andre Flurry with this team. We're gonna have to get dirty and get these gritty goals here, so let's do it. Where's my team? Quinnville, why are you coming towards Byfield instead of like going to the net? This is horrible defense for me, and that is horrible. Dude, I just wanna know up there, he's coming towards me. I'm trying to pass a puck for a cross, Creaseluck. He's got 83 Gensel too. I don't know, man. This is so rough with this team, dude. We need better players than we need the Mesaap, dude. Let's go. Get that across. Ah, got caught in some feet there, and he couldn't get a clean look at that. There you go, nice little move. Gotta get created with it. Oh, what a save, dude. It's gonna be impossible to be Flurry. I'm telling you right now. Quick, beautiful, two on one. He was just holding a stick out. That was horribly played by me. Across. Oh, it's gonna be impossible to be Flurry this game. Like I'm not even joking. Not a good period again. Like we created more things offensively there. We're not gonna be Mark Andre Flurry this game. I'm telling you right now. Nine shots to my six. Time on attack. We brought it back that period, so we definitely had a better period there, but dude, I'm telling you, this Mark Andre Flurry is standing on his head. Let's go Tierney. Let's go Tierney. Chris Tierney, oh man. He just bumped me off of that puck. We got a minute left, Tierney. Like, can we just break the shuttle of these? A few moments later. Good pass. Bang, all right. We broke, yo, 28.3 seconds. All right, all right, we're gonna take a timeout. It's possible. I think it's possible we can get something done with this first line. We're gonna try it. 28.3 seconds, we're gonna call a timeout here. Calling our timeout. Did not mean to go into instant replay. Let's go. Good poke. Tierney, no, Tierney. What did we lose that puck on? Oh my God. All right, hey. It was a good fight with this team. The fact that we only lost 2-1, I mean, sure. I wanna see what Tierney lost that puck on there, man. That was something. Is it even gonna let me look at instant replays? Is this game already that broken? Yeah, the game's already that broken. Yeah, I hate to see it, dude. I don't know what we lost it on. It is what it is. It was a good battle, man. Like, look at the timeout attack. We played better, man. We just didn't shoot enough. And like, it's so hard with this team because you get bumped off the puck so easily. It is what it is. One-on-one, I'll take that. We could've came back in that game too, man. Just Mark Andre Fleury was an absolute tank. So in terms of coins and all that, we're stuck at 69.96, nice. So that is gonna be it for the episode. We really have nothing else to do. Those other three games, I'm probably gonna play off-camera quickly. Look in here. If we can, I'm interested. Are you guys down to do an X-Factor set? Or should I make that a spot on the board? We can only do this once a month. We can choose any gold player. It'd be 20 gold players for an X-Factor player. So you guys let me know. I don't even think I have enough. Yeah, so I don't even have enough gold players, but let me guys know, when I have enough gold players, should I be able to do an X-Factor player exchange or should I make a spot on the board where we can do it? Let me know, because we're only able to do these once a month. But in terms of the episode, that's gonna be it for today's video. If you guys enjoyed it, be sure to drop a like on it.
