THE NHL ALL-STAR SKILLS COMPETITION...VIDEO GAME?!

I have not been this excited to make a video in a very long time as you can see today is a very special occasion we're rocking the all-star jersey because NHL Allstar Weekend is coming up I figured what better way to celebrate than with the greatest NHL game ever made ESPN NHL 2K5 now what made this game so special this is actually the last NHL game that had any sort of Allstar skills competition in it so we're going to be taking on five different All-Star skills competition challenges in order to win this entire thing we got to win three of them and it is going to be a grind for today's video we have the following the accuracy shooting competition fastest skater hardest shot a puck relay where you control the puck around cones and last but not least the Breakaway relay but before we get to the challenge there is something that's been on my mind for the last 10 plus years and that is the sky boox this feature I mean it was just insane as we get into the Sky Box look at dude I remember this like it was yesterday we got the TV with the fish tank around it we've got a trophy wall of unlockables and my favorite part was right here the game room there is air hockey and shuffle board in an NHL video game I'm telling you right now NHL 24 has a third of the features that this game has you know what here we're going to hop into a point of air hockey in what world can I hop on to an NHL video game and play air hockey the best thing was you could do a little 1 V one if you had two controllers or play against the compy now uh we're going to play the one and we are going to get that win let's go now if you thought air hockey was weird enough let me just show you the shuffle board uh game mode who thought you know we need a shuffle board mode in this game I have no idea but I'm glad they did all right I'm going to get a three here first try launch this thing down there little bit short but yeah you could you could play shuffle board the real question is do I know my NHL 2005 trivia let the record show I would have been 10 years old when this came out okay in what city is the Hockey Hall of Fame located that one's easy it's in Toronto which just so happens to be where we're going which goal tender led the NHL in goals against average for the yo they are roasting them that's got to be the bakov no it is Curtis Joseph okay anyways you guys get the point this game has literally everything all right this is unbelievable I used to just come into this room and stare at the fish tank look at this we even have a little record book most points in a game 10 points 1920 Joe Malone scored seven goals in one game holy and I'm pretty sure if you want to stay in the cup in franchise mode the cup would appear here obviously I have not so it's just a little empty place there for it nice little touch there at some point we might just have to do a full video on this game because that is just touching the surface of all the features that are in here but it's time for us to get into our Allstar skills competition five events we got to win three let's get into the accuracy challenge the Eastern Allstars versus the Western allst Stars I'm going to rock the East although Rick n and the jackets were actually in the west then we got Kovalchuk Thorton St Louis Ne Yo this lineup is nasty each player is given nine chances in 25 seconds to knock down four targets the team that knocks down the most targets with the least amount of pucks receives one point towards their overall score okay let's see what we have to do I remember dude I remember this like it's yesterday I just don't remember the ins and outs of how we actually do this so what I remember is yeah if you aim like all the way over on your that bar down is so satisfying if you aim all the way over it's going to hit off the post or go wide you have to be like just in [Music] between madonald just went four for four with a score of 4.1 dude I telling you these challenges are going to be diffic these challenges are going to be very difficult okay we just need to be a bit more precise on where we're aiming again there's like a super small sweet spot on the analog stick that's a little bit better we got 7.9 and it is only five Shooters luckily we are combining all the scores I think so even though C Mar St Louis I just want to go four for four one time I'm not really too worried about the time dude that dinging noise is so nice yo unfortunately we are hearing the dinging noise a a little bit too much as I might not even I did not even complete the challenge there Here Comes Bill Garen yeah just just go your four for five and let's move on to the next guy he almost did he got it four for six what game has air hockey and skills competitions Allin one this one is a wash boys we have we have taken the L uh there's no coming back we got one shooter left so we'll finish it off but this is just we are done for oh how did I not even mention dude we have the silver and yellow eastn Synergy sticks that we are rocking that's what everyone seems to be rocking that that's kind of how it was though low key in the league everyone was rolling with those things um unfortunately the accuracy challenge did not go well for us we did at least hit all the targets there but that's going to do it for challenge number one Lidstrom finishes off off it did take him nine shots and there is our totals so they have won with a score of 20 okay we only missed all of them with St Louis there they got all the targets and did it quicker so the West has won accuracy challenge number one up next we've got the fastest skater it's simple we skate a circle around the ring so five players per team one round per player we're going to repeatedly press the circle button to make the players go faster so I think we're literally just spamming Circle going around the rink uh we're not going to do it with all five let's do three players and the best time wins all right Joe Thor I'm spaming this Yo Joe okay we got to go around the cones dude this is unreal I mean I feel like I'm going a little bit slow but the the bar is all the way up so I think this might actually be a decent time we're going to find out here shortly 14.20 is the time to beat now I think what I could do is maybe cut the cones a little bit better we got to go around the cones go around the net we got madano he's kind of on Pace to be a little bit slower than me I think 13 14 1.85 okay we got the lead I suppose we should have actually oh the boards move yo okay I'm going to R to the board just because dude the amount of detail in this game the board Shake uh since since we ran it to the board I knew that one was an L regardless so it's all going to come down to our last one bruzi kind of buzzing as he makes his way around the final Corner not going to beat not going to beat my though we're in a good spot here fellas we're in a really good spot Marty St Louie this is perfect what a way to end it Marty St Louie is flying we have got to beat our score okay I did hit off the net there which was not ideal but we did have a nice little cut there on the edge fingers getting a little bit tired from spamming this button 10 seconds to the final that's going to be a sub 14 for the fellas let's go so as long as Bill Garren does not get a 13.48% and we have taken the victory in Challenge number two it is now tied at 1-1 next up is the hardest shot I feel like this one probably is going to come down to like what players we have so we're going to be more careful here so if we hit Shuffle players that gives us random players from around the league there's also a fantasy a fantasy draft option we can draft our teams one by this game I am telling you the features are insane we got Keith kachuck he's probably got a bomb of a shot so we just did a full draft within the allstar miname mode Let's see what happens hardest shot we're going to go same thing just three players we get two shots per player yo this might be the first use of like the skill stick back in the day I thought EA was the one to do that maybe 2K back in the day had a little skill stick for the shot Peter forsberg getting us started right yo I wonder what the timing is on this we're just going to walk in boom 93 93 doesn't seem bad for a first shot I wonder if it's speed of the shot or if it's oh no go in there again okay that was 6909 nice uh I I think it's going to be the momentum that we have in combination with how fast we flick up the stick if I were to guess so he just got 93.4 five just under me we got Joe sacket going again 85 we still have the lead there with forsberg this man could rip some slap shots Pula boom there we go there's a 90 I think there's a combination of when you should start that Clapper animation he did it later and he just got 96 with gochu sick 102 dude how Okay Jerome ainla maybe maybe boom Jerome AA with a 95 this is our final chance give it to me ainla boom 86 dude how was Koval Chucks that much faster so that is going to do it here for this one we'll let berzi berzi with a 101 I'm telling you boys I I knew that this was going to be difficult because I remember as a kid I could never win any of these challenges that is going to do it for the hardest shot challenge we have taken yet another L which means we are down one to two this is our little puck control obstacle course if we hit the cones I think we lose the puck we got to go back and get it one point will be rewarded to the team with the best overall time all right so we're just going to do another time challenge we'll do three players each we got to go around this obstacle course this one I remember being really tough okay this is a little bit more complex than I thought we have Joe Thor Oh wait we're going straight oh no we have absolutely thrown I thought we were going around that close cone that's at the end it seems it's just going to be a little warm-up run okay you can't cut the corner too tight or you are going to lose the puck dude this is actually good little practice you know if you're just starting to play the NHL series and you need a little practice they had this mode for you and we have to cross the goal L to finish it 26.1 a which is obviously not a good time we'll see what madano can do here he's running over the cone dude I mean how does he not lose the puck this this time might not be beatable 19.15 we're to take coob Chuck the full length of the ice hey we do have a little bit of better speed this time around and we had more speed than madano I think let's go around towards the boards that's where we lost the puck last time we have cut that nice and close think we actually have a chance at this here 19.15 and I threw on the final cone okay and we have to go back 25.64% Louis one of the fastest players in the league we have 19.15 to beat to keep this alive here we go boys St Louis let's cut this nice and tight I mean the thing is I have to balance being careful but also we do need to beat the time here I'm not going to lose the puck on that one turn again I think we lost it there but we did pick it up back up Marty St Louis Marty 18.94% I used to grind this like day in day out to try to beat these copies and I couldn't do it we're a little older now and we have figured it out Marty St Louis with a score of 18.94% in which each player has one attempt to score goal 40 seconds players muscate back to the blue line after taking their shot for the next player Oh 40 seconds total each goal counts as one point so we're relaying back it's going to be a line of r five players we got to see if we can do this in 40 seconds most goals wins this is actually a sick little challenge to end it we got Thor up first we're going to walk this thing in I don't even think there's not really any decks in this game so I don't know how we're going to beat this goalie we do have to Sprint back to the blue line now C dude this is sick where is this in the modern games I see that left side kind of open took it a little bit too close we do have two rounds of this so each of our players gets to go once and then we will have a second chance if this one does not go well walk in off the pipe okay our shootout quite looking like our NHL 24 shootouts we got Neer me coming in I'm going to try a [Music] Clapper Neer yo did you see there goalie actually like tossed the puck to the corner too and we ran out of time so I just had to rip a shot low one goal oh I'm playing goalie yo okay unfortunately I'm playing goalie we got for dur net he scores his first shot which means in order to win this round he's only going to need to score one more how do we flying poke check Square Brer dude what a flying poke check if we could survive this this would be insane I'm going to fake fly yep nice save there Brer what else do we have we have our butterfly with the triangle button it looks like so poke Tech with square butterfly with triangle the last shot he absolutely nips one on me okay round two we're down one we do get one more to go at this I'm going I'm going to try we got to go a little in tight little boom backand off the pipe again the other thing is we can't waste too much time because then we don't really have time for our final skater okay Mar s l are there any dicks I can kind of do this another one off the pipe dude and we need to score to keep this Alive come on give me a Clapper Clapper nearer Clapper near okay the the game's still alive we score one more here we're in this I'm going to walk in Clapper bottom left so in order to keep this game alive we do need to make every save which is what we're going to do ro Earth One keep us in this game and just like that our challenge has how do you do that how do you do that I looked at the controls and it said de with the right analog stick which is what I was doing but it was kind of just like going left and right I'm a man of the people we will finish that and yes we do take the L uh unfortunately the NHL 2K5 computers were too much to handle in today's Allstar challenge but a good challenge nonetheless you really don't realize how good you had it back back in the day dude these games man they were just complete packages you know we had the Sky Zone we had franchise mode we had all these different mini games all built into one NHL 2K5 man we need to bring something like this back also before I leave can we acknowledge how quick and snappy these menus are dude in NHL 24 it would take me 30 minutes to get through these menu screens look at this boom we're into all these different menus in a matter of seconds anyways that is going to do it for our NH 2K5 Allstar event I hope you guys enjoyed this one I had a ton of fun if you guys want me to
