 Yo, what's going on Leafrations, Leafr back again and welcome back to Monopoly Hut Episode Number 4 and today is a special one. It's Team of the Year, baby. So yeah, Team of the Year has arrived to NHL Hockey Ultimate Team and we have some big boy packs that we have chances to get those big boy packs. So let's just get right to the board and start rolling the dice here. Okay, so last episode we left off on Chance. If we get a one or a five, we get those special packs that we want here. So let's get it. Okay, like I said, one or a five is what we want here. Dice, be good to us. We get a five. Not much of a roll, but it's a five. So a five is open up one special pack. Now, before I show you what special packs are out, I'm going to show you what cards are out. So Team of the Year, again, you know the cards, Pasta, Drysidle, Panarin, Macar, Heidman, Vasilevsky. We also have some decent prime times out, Jared Spurgeon being the best one there. Some fantasy upgrades. We got that great Team of the Week still out. And yeah, these are the special packs that are out. We have, you know, these Team of the Year ones, they're not the greatest. Jumble Premium Player packs. The Ultimate Choice pack is what we're looking for. So we have one. We're not going to count the Choice pack as one. We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And of these special packs out, so we got to head to the random number generator to see what pack we get. Ideally, we're trying to get a four or five here for those two big boy packs. Let's generate a number. We get a five. That is the Ultimate Choice pack. Oh, baby. So just to make sure, one, two, three, four, five. Ultimate Choice pack, my goodness. We have a 53% chance of getting an 86 plus player, so this should be a huge upgrade. I think it's about five rounds. No more waiting here, boys. Let's open it up. 2,500 points down the drain. We're hoping for a Team of the Year. I can't cap. We're hoping for a Team of the Year here. So Robin Lainer, a nice little goalie upgrade. 84 damage to Strom, a new prime time. Not bad. Nikita Gusev and Team of the Week Graves. So let's go. I think Lainer would be an upgrade, but Markson played great. I'm going to go with Strom and Graves just because the two special cards win. Oh, we get three picks. Let's take Lainer too then. Okay. A good Ultimate Choice pack then. I thought it was only two picks here. Kyle Tarris, all Mark, okay, not the greatest round followed by here. It doesn't really matter who we take, I guess. I'm going to take the lower overalls to begin. We got three more rounds here. We need a purple card. Drew Doughty is a big pull, 85 overall. That is a huge upgrade to our defense. We made huge upgrades last episode, so this is another huge upgrade to the defense. Noah Hannafin, Gustav Nyquist, and Philip Forsberg. So we'll take Forsberg, Hannafin, and Drew Doughty, not a bad round. Come on. Give me a purple tinted player here. Come on. Jonathan Quick, Benino, and Colin Wilson. So we'll go for the three 80 overalls. Why not? We're not going to use quick. Anyways, last round. Come on, EA. Please. Varlamov. Now we're looking for Sean Monahan. We need a purple in here. We haven't pulled an 86, and we won't pull an 86. But hey, Jack Eichel, John Gibson, so that figures out our goal-tint situation, and Sean Monahan. Not a bad pack, I guess. We didn't pull an 86. We had a, what, 53% chance of pulling one, and we didn't pull one, which kind of sucks. But hey, three 85 overalls, big upgrades to the team. Not bad. Okay, we did something here, and I think it works. So these are the updated lines. I'm just going to show them now. Nylander Dushane Gurianov stayed the same. Second line. Gustav Nikols was playing on his right hand. I wanted him on his offhand. So we have him, Eichel, and Forsberg. Third line. Nylander Kuznetsov, Dylan Strom, and then JVR Monahan, Wayne Simmonds. And we did get Workhorse activated, which is huge for these four cards. Not too bad here. Not too bad for us. We've got Drew Daudi playing with Mikhail Sergachev, Roman Yosef with Josh Manson, and Neil Pionk with Jake Muzzin. And like I said before, starting that minor first now is John Gibson. While we're here, let's do a little silver upgrade. We can get rid of some silvers, maybe pull a team in the air in one of these. Who knows? All right, here we go. I mean, I've seen some crazy pulls out of these. You just never know here. I'll cut and I'll cut. Okay, so we're back in silver ranking. Time to grind for gold. Time for some big debuts out of this team. Let's get a W here. All right, here we go. Game number one of the episode. We're looking to keep the streak alive. We are 6-0 in the series. Looking to go 1-0 here and to improve a 7-0. So here we go. We've got Svetch, Kuznetsov on center, and then Crosby on the wing, I saw. So here we go. Let's get it, boys. Good hit there. Get that across. Bang, Jack Eichel with his first chance. I think it hit the post. Resaved didn't hit the post. Good chance, though. Good save. That was a bad rebound, but he recovered. Then across, Neil Pionk, the tip there. What a save from Rask. I cannot believe that. End of one. And I mean, we only have two shots. Time and attack is better, but T away means nothing nowadays, apparently. I just want to see. It looks like all base cards. This guy's a decent player. I'll give him that 87 Lannisgog there. I think we could win this game. This is definitely a winnable game, though. We just need to figure out two Kerasker. I feel like once the first one goes in, the floodgates are open. Across. There it is. I went silent there. Gurianov over to do Shane, one nothing. We figured out Rask. We love to see that. We love it. Sergachev over to Dowdy. Let's get that one tee from him. The deflection. Great save by Rask there. That almost trickled through the five-fold. That pass got through me. That's unbelievable. No, no, no. Thank god it was a backhand shot. And he dunks. Good to see. Good to see. Stupid play by me. Cost us a goal. GG. I thought that pass was going to get through. Clearly not. Now we've got to work for a goal. Let's go Nylander. Get that across to Shane. Nylander to do Shane. This first line is a buzzing this game. 2-1. That's it. That's it. We've got to run with him now. Let's go Pionk. Get that across. Oh, what a poke, man. He just saved himself a goal there. Jake wasn't what a poke, but he doesn't get it. Romani goaling. No, not the play from us. I thought we were up by 2 to be completely honest. Shouldn't have Manny goalie 2-2. I'm giving this kid the easiest goals of his life. Here we go. Get that across. Gurionov. Like I said, first line is buzzing. I don't even know if that was the first line that was out. I don't think so. Gurionov gets his first. We're back up on top. We need the insurance marker here, because clearly I cannot play defense today. We need that insurance marker. I do not feel comfortable in this game at all, because I just have not been playing defense at all today, I guess. Get that across. Bang, Gurionov. Second of the game, 4-2. That's the insurance marker we needed. It's OK, Willie's got this. Play that over to Strom. Ryan Strom in his debut. And that should be a rage quit. And that's it. What a way to end it. William Nylander, I think it was over to Dylan Strom in his debut. I think that was a 4-5-2 goal. So let's go. We're going to get closer to gold, beautiful. And I mean, looking at the stats, we just clearly deserve that game. I hate to say it. All right, we are rolling the dice for the second and final time this episode. What will we get? That is a 4. Don't mind the dirty floor. Nice run for no reason. A 4 it is. So a 4, if I'm not mistaken, 1, 2, 3, 4 is one special pack. My goodness. The dice has blessed us today. OK, so we're back at the random number generator. 1 through 7, we cannot open up the ultimate pack again. It was just a 1 limit. So we're looking for a 4 here, ideally. Let's see what we can get. Generate a number, and we get a 1. I don't think this is worth it. No, it's not. OK, 1 through 7 here. We're looking for a 4, maybe even a 7. I don't know. So let's see what we can get here. Generate a number, and we get a 4. OK. 4 is a jumble premium players pack. Looking at the odds, 10% chance at an 86 plus. I doubt we get anything good, because that ultimate choice pack was horrible. But pasta on the cover, maybe we can get a team of the year pasta. So let's see what we can get here. I didn't read the description. I don't know how many 80 pluses we get. So we're going blind into this. No 80 pluses yet, though. Which could be a good sign. Jonas Corpusallo, doubt we use him. Damon Severson, doubt we use him. Harkins, Hegelson, Scandella, my goodness. No way we're not going to pull anything here. Holmstrom, oh my. This pack is not good at all. Brandon Dillon, Don Skoy, oh my. Boys, this is not looking good. Peter Morazzic, we already have him. Carl Soderbergh, and that is it. Wow. Pack luck was not on our side today. That is for damn sure. Our best pull was an 81 out of that. Yikes. That means no upgrades to the team, unfortunately. So I guess we just head into the next game. All right, guys, so it's been a couple days since I recorded from game one. So we got a little mini-pack there. A team of the year has dropped. I think we went through that last episode, so we're good with that. We got these American cards, some new silver upgrades, a new team of the week. And the reason I'm saying that is rivals' rewards are now available, so we are going to try and pull something. So we have one inch up place, pack one, prime pack. I think it makes sense just to go untradable. It's not like we're going to sell the cards if we get someone good, because we have a chance of going bankrupt, right? So we have a little bit of a pack opening before game two. Some more packs to throw on top of this. Hopefully they're good. We'll start off with the mini-pack. We're still aiming. We haven't pulled a team of the year on the Monopoly account. We are hoping to pull one on the Monopoly account today. Who knows? Anything is possible. That is for sure. Mini-packs always are garbage for the most parts. Some people have pulled team of the years in them, but for the most part, they're garbage. Prime packs aren't the greatest, as well. Matthew's on the cover, though. Maybe we get a team of the week. We just want to see that purple tint with a team of the year card behind that. I doubt we pull anything here. We might just skip these ones, to be honest. Nothing that will upgrade to the team. But another prime pack here. I'm going to just skip it. I don't think we pull anything in these, and we don't. Not even a gold tinted player. So for these packs, they're decent. NHL players, packs, 10 items. All gold NHL players with at least 480-plus overalls. We're going to try and test our luck with these. Maybe a team of the year hiding in one of these packs. It'd be great to have. All right, so I'm getting in a bok of. Definitely won't make the team. Seabrook won't make the team. That's one of the 480-pluses. Here we go. Ooh, okay, Vlasik. Don't think he'll make the team. I think that's two of our 80s, so we have two more left. Tyler Ennis. All right, Michael Matheson. We got one more 80-plus overall. Bronze Nielsen. Montable. Mike Richier. And that's in. No one to make the team, unfortunately. Second pack here. God, please give me something good here. Something to at least upgrade the team if you don't want to give me a team of the year. There's two of our 80-pluses already. Make that three. Beautiful. Make that four. Kyle Palmeri. That's probably the rest of the pack. Mark Giordano might make the team. Palmeri might also make the team. So not two. Those two pulls aren't too bad. Silverberg, OK. Victor Rask. Cogliano and Brian Elliott. Not the greatest packs. Damon Severson is going to come in for Nielsen Pionk. And unfortunately, Jake Muzzin's coming out of the lineup for Mark Giordano, not a bad card to use as well. So the defense did get upgraded here. All right, final game of the episode. First one for this week in rivals. We are playing, I'm not going to, I don't know, it seems like we're playing a Finnish guy here, possibly. So let's see what we can do. Hopefully we get a W. Voracek, I don't know who that is on the draw there. He's got Marshawn on the side. We're hoping for another win to keep the perfect streak alive here, boys. There you go. Get that across. Bang, Dylan Strome. That is prime-time Dylan Strome. Get in that pass from William Elander and absolutely sniping it. Top chatter. Let's go, baby. Let's go, Dylan Strome. Get that in front. Dylan Strome having himself a shift, passing it over to Kuznetsov. Make that two-nothing. Let's go, boys. I am a big fan of this Dylan Strome card. I cannot lie to you guys. Giordano making his debut shift here. Debut game in general. He can do the muleyosi, couldn't it? Angarionov puts it into the back of the net. Giordano gets himself a debut assist. And I think that was like 10 seconds later and we scored another one, three-nothing. Let's go. End of one, we're up three-to-nothing. We're playing good. There's nothing much else to say. Let's go, Strome or Strome. Let's go, Giordano. Oh my, the deflection. And I said, one more goal and he should be gone. That should be it, folks. And there it is. We take a win, first, or second game of the episode, first of the rival week, Big W. So that one win almost puts us into silver. Probably we haven't been promoted to the 7 yet, but I'm not complaining. And I mean, looking at the stats, again, a well-deserved win. We stay perfect in rivals.
