Hi. I'm "Gio Palermo", also known as "legorocks99" ("legorocks99Gaming", "LR99Gaming", or "LR99"). I post video game commentaries on CZcams revolving around "hockey", with a primary focus on "Vancouver Canucks", "Montreal Canadiens", "Detroit Red Wings", and top "NHL prospects" topics. These videos are uploaded with "NHL 23" gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Sorry to hear this Lego. I’m wishing you the best this year and every year going forward. Happy New Years and have good day
Thank you Deez Nutz, you've been here forever man, I appreciate it a ton
Really appreciate the openness and honesty. Here’s to a better 2024 Lego!
I appreciate you as well Reece. Thank you!
There's nothing unusual about what your going through. I'm one of your older fans and I can relate to a lot of what your describing when I was younger. Now I am in a really great place in my life it just took time. The fact that you are willing to take control of your path is key.
I appreciate the sentiment Benjamin, hoping for the best!
Keep your head high and move forward leggo, 2024 will only be up from here. I also had my first gf at 23 who broke my heart so i feel you, i still think of her and I'm 31 now 😅. All the best for the coming year!
Damn man, hoping for the best in healing! All the best to you as well
Hang in there. We’ve all had our hearts broke. These experiences will make you stronger!!!
I hope so!
@@legorocks99 get a dog, it works.
Saw this video a bit late. I've watched your videos since 2019 and find you so relatable given I'm from Surrey and share the same love for our Canucks and even have lots of knowledge of the Red wings because of you. I'm in 8th grade and look up to you and as part of LR99 fanbase we are all supportive of you. We're all human bro. My first heartbreak was the 2019-20 season when VGK eliminated the canucks. I've been embarassed by girls in school after failed situationships. Maybe even go on a vacation if thats possible? Even Tofino. Maybe you could let us know a scheduled stream on a weekend and we could get some dono hype to help with finances for 2024. Wishing you a balanced 2024 between relationships and hockey and life. Also I believe the nucks will go far this season but with this ffranchise everything is so up in the air so just enjoy the season for the way its going. Obviously i'm not very experienced with these topics which is why I look forward to the odd video you post non hockey related. My favourite lego video of all time has to be the one where we traded for Tyler Toffoli and you weren't at your usual setup and showed your face which we all like to see and my second fav was definetly the OEL aquisition where Beagle, Roussel and Eriksson were banished to Arizona. In those videos your enthusiasm and passion for this team really stood out and I'm looking forward to your balanced 2024 and hopefully the canucks give us some more news to be enthusiastic about
Lego, your human .
I can not say sorry to you for having a life learning lesson ..
I can respect you more for sharing it though ..
Keep your head up and all the very best for you and your channel in the future..
Preach man, thank you
just wait until he meets a woman, lives with her and complains on his channel how relationships get stale living with them lol
Hey man, just some advice for you. Don't get caught up in relationships that don't work out because if it was meant to be, it would have worked out. Each failed relationship is extremely valuable for your character development as it teaches you important things about yourself that you didn't know before like what you value in a relationship, what you won't tolerate in a relationship, and the qualities of a person that you deem are important to have or not to have. The saying "things happen for a reason" is a motto I live by because everything that happens is meant to move you further along in life and to make you stronger. So things might seem dark at points, but just know that a few years from now, you'll be looking back feeling thankful for the growth you achieved from these dark times in your life. You got this brother, the redemption arc starts now.
Redemption indeed Dan, I hope you're right. Even just reflecting on things has been a huge step I think. Thank you!
Sometimes our greatest opportunities for growth come to us disguised as misfortune. 💗💗
Sorry to hear this man, I really hope 2024 will be much better!! I can really relate to what you're saying, im 23 and I was very lonely and doing my own thing for years. In 2023 I tried my best to go out more and be more positive and it changed my life. For me, 2023 was by far the best year of my life.
Heartbreak is the worst.. and it doesn’t ever get easier. You just learn to accept it and move on. Dig your content, especially since you cover a lot of Red Wings stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for sharking! I know exactly what you went through, I've been there myself.
Sorry to hear about all the troubles you've had this year, and in some ways, it's relatable to some of the troubles I experienced between ages 17 and 22. As I now enter the year where I'll be turning 44, I hope 2024 is an amazing year for both of us, and we can both get our lives back on track. Good luck dude!
(For the record, I was watching, even if the overall views were down. LGRW!)
Thank you DJ, hoping for the same! Will always be rooting for the Wings too hehe
We all go through it brother, just not in the public eye. Big respect.
Hey Love from up Above, thank you! It's been a while so I hope you're well
Those situations happen in life. Some people just like to inflict pain. On the other hand, people get to pick who they want. It's not you bro, your a good guy. Don't let it take you down. Keep going. The girl for you is out there. Promise, cheers!
Hahaha hopefully! We'll try to carry on, cheers to you too Paul!
You're doing great, kid! The fact you woke up and admitted to yourself you needed change in your life says it all.
He woke alright
I appreciate that man, thank you
Lego,
You're young and growing in all aspects of life. We have all been there at some point. From experience, keep growing and move forward. As a grown man, I can tell you that women in general will drain you in all aspects so there is nothing wrong with concentrating on your channel and self growth.
Wishing you a wonderful 2024. This will be your year!
Thank you Kevin, wishing the same to you!
I can relate to a lot of what you said in this video. Cudos for being accountable!
Onwards and upwards in 2024 💪
Thank you Jarrett, onwards and upwards indeed!
You also have many fans over 50. Love that you said your feelings.
Hey for sure!! I'm honestly impressed with the demographic of this channel's viewerbase, it ranges from all over which I appreciate a ton hahaha
Take this channel to 10 million subscribers viewers to make hime happy ❤❤❤❤❤ keep up the good work Legorock99
I feel you bro I had a pretty similar year in 2021
Thanks for this you rock needed something like this
My pleasure Ciaran, cheers to us man
Happy New Year, Little Brother. Thank you for sharing. Someone may also be going through this, as I have. I felt the difference in your videos this 2023 year compared to the previous year, but I'm glad you recognized it. Also, glad that you are approaching it as life lessons so that you can grow. Continue to fill your life with stuff you enjoy doing, and charge your battery to the fullest. Becoming the best version of yourself each day, love and life will come to you. Share your passion once again, and life opens up once again. I've been in the same position a couple decades ago and question if I'm deserving and my future. Fast forward to today, I have a wonderful wife and two wonderful boys who remind me I'm a wonderful dad. God Bless, Gio! 🙏
I appreciate this comment a ton Ryan, I'm humbled to have learnt that this experience has been felt before. Will try to take this advice to heart!
You’re clearly an intelligent and vibrant person. Don’t worry - the older you get, it gets easier. The first heartbreak is always the worst. It’s only a matter of time before you find your person.
I appreciate the comment Detrif, I hope you're right!
Thank you for sharing Lego, love the channel and love the honesty. Keep grinding, keep pumping out the quality content we all know you can. I’ve failed over and over again, I’ve been in a funk for 2 years now, the main thing is to not give up, be honest with yourself and keep moving forward.
You’re self-awareness and openness a underrated qualities. You will find someone that sees you in due time. Dont rush it, dont force it, become best friends first.
Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words AP, cheers!
Dude. You’re 23. Everyone gets their heart broken. You need to figure out how to balance your personal and work life. One day you’ll find your happy place in your personal life and your channel will be the better for it because it’ll give you another way of looking at things. Perspective comes with experience. No tears shed are ever wasted. Keep your head clear. All the best in’24. Cheers.
As someone who is much older than you (I'm just a tad more than double your age), I can say from experience that this learning experience will pass, and when you are in your 40s looking back, there will be some tears and some laughs remembering this part of your life. There will be regrets, no doubt, but just do your best to learn your lesson each step along the way; I think and hope that you will be just fine... Stay strong, Lego!
Dude, I still remember that "1st date" video like yesterday. Kudos to you for opening yourself up like the Canucks freeing up cap space. But hey, we all learn and improve from our life experiences. From someone in the "older" demographic, I encourage you to continue to do the most important things and let other things come to you naturally. Don't let the "slumps" ruin your good career start. No shame for not having a gf at 23. Gf's are like individual trophies, but not the Cup that you ultimately want... All the best in 2024!
Thank you John, that analogy is awesome. Best to you in 2024 as well!
One thing I've learned in my 52 years is that life doesn't take a straight path. Enjoy the great times and moments. Learn from the difficult experiences and get back up and move forward from those dark moments. Keep going and you never know where that next great moment and experience will come from. I've had some of the most difficult and stressful days of my life over the past two weeks...but I've learned from experience that life goes on and better days are ahead. All the best in the New Year Lego and to a better 2024
Hope to live up to it Donky! Thank you
Don't worry about it, Bro. That is Life, we've all been there. and you know what? We learn from that and that is what makes Life great. It gets better. Gratitude is what propels us forward to a great future. Nice sweater btw or is that a onesie? Looks comfy.
Gratitude indeed! Super grateful for your comment as well, so thank you. My sweater is a hoodie, and yeah it is super comfy hahaha
Hey man, I'm sorry about your chick. If it's worth anything, I'm going to be 30 in a couple of months' time. I'm currently not seeing anyone and not married. My life isn't great, but I'm hanging in there. I wanted to do videos on CZcams, but I didn't have a niche. Maybe astrology, but I'm not even good at that. I do love hockey but I feel as if my IQ isn't as good as others to do hockey. For my lonely youngins out there reading this comment I'd suggest reading or listening to audiobooks about dating and what not. It's helped me out as a loner. We are all still young and we are still learning as well. The learning never stops. Just remember bigger and better things are coming our way :)
Thanks for the comment Gamer Dude. No shame in trying CZcams out tho! If you haven't tried yet, I'd recommend it. Sometimes you may even surprise yourself!
Take care of yourself first physically and emotionally. Everything else will take care of itself.
Don't let that man break your heart bad boy
Listen the last few years I’ve been a crazy trip. You’ve posted so consistently that it’s so hard to miss. Take some time for your self this year. Instead of relying on other people for that gratification, figure it out for yourself first. Put yourself first. Cuz at the end of day. Yes, we love your videos but you’re most important part of them. They wouldn’t be here without u so YES! We value and appreciate you more then any video you can make. So do whatever you Gotta do brother, but make it about you this year not about anyone else. We will be OK if content slows down.
Don't worry Frank, I appreciate the kind sentiment. Still got lots to talk about too!
@@legorocks99 ❤️ all good bro just glad ur ok keep up the positive attitude
Oh, man.... been there and don't miss those days of young love and getting experience with dating/relationships. Sorry you had to go through all that, but it gets better.
Take this from me, a 57 year old man.
Every emotion you experienced as a young 23/23 yr old man most teenagers on my day experienced...and it is completely normal.
You are going to experience heartbreak. Heartbreak sucks... but it is part of "growing up".
You have a radio voice and could easily work at broadcasting hockey games.
It would pull you from behind the computer...allow you to properly socialize and experience adulthood as you should.
There will be other women. Just understand that it is important to properly socialize in order to be with women...and vice versa.
You kids are engrossed in your phones so much you all forgot how to properly communicate .
So, though I am sorry to hear you were "hurt"...part of me is excited to see that you FINALLY experienced what we were experiencing at age 15-17.
Go get 'em tiger.
Seriously...try broadcasting hockey games somewhere. Seriously consider it!!!
Hoping for a better 2024 for you Lego, remember to focus on yourself first, women will come and go... the good ones will stay
Bro literally the exact same thing happened to me in 2023 and it was one of the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my entire life
Lego!! All the best in year 2024! Thanks for sharing, I feel positive things coming in near future for your channel! Look forward listening to the videos. Keep it up!
Thank you DJ Harris, I appreciate that
We love ya dude! Great vid. Love your honesty, and opening up. See dude this channel is so much more than awesome hockey thought. It is Deep thought. Your an Empath. It is a good thing.
Hahaha hopefully it is a good thing! Thank you SaltyLegion
Life lessons…. I’ve had my share . Thanks for sharing , hang in there brother, it gets better!!
Preach man, thank you
Looking forward to another year of LegoRocks videos 😀👍 hope 2024 is the best year yet for you.
Thank you Brian, you too!
sorry to hear this, cool your being honest and open here, its pretty cool.
Thanks Coley, I appreciate it
I think 2023 for me was a lit year not gonna lie , I got away with too many things last year 🤣
Happy New Years 🎉 may everyones next year be better Go Canucks Go
If you obsess over trying to get a relationship and try to force it, it will never work. You just have to work on yourself and let the relationships come naturally.
Agreed
Welcome to adult life my friend. You are only growing as a person. And we are all here to see it. Happy New Year.
I guess so! Hopefully it lasts. Happy New Year to you too Tommy
As a wings fan, you show up alot in my YT hockey searches. I've always enjoyed you and your content and what you do. Please keep providing what you do and know that people appreciate it. Lets go Red Wings! Side note, it is weird hearing your voice and not seeing video game hockey being played. :)
how about that Trey Augustine kid?
Bruh, there is nothing about relationship with women that is great or even worth it. She did you a favour. Live your life. Forget them
I support you buddy. work life balance gets a lot more important the older you get.
Oh yeah for sure, I'm starting to feel that now for sure
Happy New Year Lego
Happy New Year to you too Stu
So, Gio, you say that you’re sharing your experience to, maybe, offer insight to others who are younger than you.
You’re 23.
I’m 63.
Let me offer you a little insight. You are, of course, free to take it or leave it.
My life experience has been different from yours, for a variety of reasons. But universal truths are universal, and some of the things you’re discovering now, I learned a long time ago.
Forget about how much money you’re making. You made the most money when you were doing what you loved doing, and doing it well. The reason you made the most money was because people responded to that passion, and supported you. When you started to “mail it in,” people also responded to that, but in a negative way. Your work and income will always be important, but you obviously have a gift, and so, as many wise people have said, do what you love and the money will follow. But so will happiness and peace of mind.
Most people want love and companionship, but you can never control another person’s heart. The best you can do is be yourself and hope that you find someone who appreciates and supports you. I wish I could promise you that you’ll find that person, but what I can promise you is that you’ll never find them if you turn your back on what’s important to you and who you really are.
So, put your passion and energy back into your videos, but don’t forget to be open to love. And, perhaps most importantly, keep your heart and mind open. Sometimes, what you’re looking for is right in front of your face, but you just don’t see it.
That’s it. Hope 2024 is an amazing experience.
Might just print out this comment and frame it. I appreciate this comment a ton Bradley, and I have an undeniable feeling that you're right. Thank you for the kind words, and I'll try my best to internalize them for 2024 and beyond.
I got bad news for you buddy, life only sucks more and more the older you get :P
You can either focus on yourself through career progression, gym, goals or try to force the issue from the same standpoint. Don’t be surprised with the same results if you stand still and do nothing. Your mind will still wonder to her the next few years btw, but less and less if you focus on yourself
Facts. I learned a lot about that throughout the second half of 2023. You're absolutely right
Your first love is something you feel only once in a lifetime and the first heart break is the same thing. everything else after that is over rated. don’t get yourself worked up on women. they come and go. once in a blue moon, a perfect woman will fall out of the sky and land right in your lap. what is meant to be yours will be yours… don’t hold onto something that is not…
I can’t agree more that your content went down hill. I stopped watching you because of the uniformed content, the click bait, and the effort drop. I hope you can get back to your 2022 thoroughness.
I appreciate you taking responsibility and being honest. I really haven't noticed much of a change, but that says more about me than you.
Having said that we need to send you to the sin bin.
Hahaha sin bin indeed, we'll see 😂 Thank you for the comment tho, Redbeard
@@legorocks99 Please, do what ever you have to do to stay healthy. Sin bin comment was to bring some humor into a very serious issue, stay healthy.
Thanks!
Hey Brian, thank you for the Super Chat, your presence is always appreciated
The middle split hair style… bruh !
🙄
Enjoy your life as hockey fans and happy hockey year, single or married. Feel free to connect with passionate male and female hockey fans with different life stages but common hobby in Game Over podcast after Canucks game, for instance.
Marriage is not for everyone. Love and relationship is all about right timing instead of trying harder, forcing the issue and make life worse. Having said that, looking for someone with common hobbies and values would help build a long-term relationship. (e.g. The Hockey Guy happened to find his Ms. Right in a similar fashion.)
I would think you should view CZcams as a sie hustle. You're smart. You need to train for a legitimate career. Settle on something you like that will guarantee good income. Do whatever it takes to succeed in that chosen career path.
Love you lego ❤
The average male experience.
I do enjoy your commentary, but I've never liked the video game play background.
The Lord loves you.
I think if you spend some time
Editing NHL highlights with commentary, it will become more of a challenge. I like the commentary but I am tired of looking at the NHL gameplay.
You must have been home schooled eh. Sounds like grade seven
@ 7:03 you mention "They" as in your in a relationship with how much women? :) But if your talking about friendships, than i msunderstood
you need to get red pills go watch fresh and fit it gone to help you a lot with the women brother trust me....and keep progressing 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Bro what is you wearing? 💀
looks like a sweater
@@duck.2849 made by someone from the rainbow brigade 🙈
Dude looks good why u mad?
@@kevinmalone3630 are you from cali cause that looks like someone got splashed with kool aid at a special event ☠️
It’s one of those Barbie movie sweaters with the “I am Kenough” logo on it. lol It’s supposed to be self accepting and inspiring or something. It’s more of a joke imo given the context of the vid.
Gym
Reason why you making less is your video quality is terrible bro . Be succinct !!! Stop saying something that could be said in 30 seconds and stretch to 10 mins waste of life
