  • Welcome to the TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS! This year's Xmas Challenge combines both Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra for 15 DAYS of nail-biting head-to-head challenges, with Andy, Ellen, Jane, Luke and Mike scrabbling to be crowned the ultimate 2022 cross-channel champion of champions.
    DAY 6 brings us the NHL 22 What the Heck is Hockey Challenge, in which our two brave competitors must figure out the noble sport of "iced hockey", and then use that knowledge to defeat their opponent in a "match". Who will come out on top? What on earth is icing? And why are there THREE periods? Watch on, for the answers to these questions and more.
    Come back tomorrow for the Day 7 challenge, right here on Outside Xbox!

    hey guys! i love all of your vids, a lot, but... this nonsense is the funniest thing I think I've ever watched from you and it's been wonderful. I don't know much about hokey but you guys trying to piece-it-together has been so delightful. I've watched it 4 times now, (2 more then the other Christmas challenge games) and it never gets any less hilarious. THANK YOU so much for the entertainment value.

    This was a thrilling game, close score, big rivalry, and lots of deke jokes. And that last part was the only thing on purpose. Gotta love oxboxtra.

    As a pretty well life long hockey fan/player, this was incredibly painful to watch, but still awesome.
    Hoping this is a staple for years to come.

    Hockey can be a delightful game when there's this much action happening on the ice and not just because a pair of gamers are literally battling it out for a holiday-themed challenge. The Bruins are a solid team in not only being an institution within the sport but having maybe their pick of premium players on their roster. I"m by no means a hardcore fan but I know enough that skating around on ice that definitely isn't about to give way for the better half of three hours with hard sticks that can and have cut up player's faces is a trial. Most all the players have been playing since youth, tend to be built, quite tall and from parts of the world where getting signed to a team is like leaving your tiny town for a pro-football career.
    You guys are right that at time, the fights are often the best part of the entire game when they happen but there are times where the players realize it's really just a game and being sore about their last encounter doesn't serve anyone. Chara, a Bruin who's retired now, was a six-foot something sweetheart who didn't kindly to bad etiquette and knocked guys over for it. He even escorted the gurney of a fallen player off the ice after body-checking him into the glass because at the end of the day, it's all a game and harboring grudges serves no one.
    Also, this game is one of the most sensible version of hockey period. You guys could be struggling to play scuba hockey instead of a mix of American, Canadian and European ice skaters ready and often willing to help loosen your teeth if you piss them off badly enough.

    I'm from Pittsburgh. I'm pretty sure they're called the Penguins just for the alliteration. It gets cold but far from Antarctic. Anyway it was nice to hear Luke get excited about them.

    • @bast713
      @bast713 Před rokem +1

      Probably, but it's nice that it's also an animal that belongs on the ice. I feel like they put more effort into naming the Penguins and Steelers than they did the Pirates. (I'm also from Pgh area.)

    Reading the title makes me think of that one Madden challenge Mike had one year where they had no idea what was going on and it was hilarious...hope it's like that again
    Edit: ah yes, Mike's classic "what does it mean?!?!" Followed by some ludicrous answer by Andy in a confident voice

    That was absolutely marvelous. As a Blackhawks fan, loved watching and hearing you guys try to discern hockey. Would love to see the crew try to play and discern baseball like MLB The Show someday too.
    edit: and now I just realized they did!

    Thank you Luke. I was so hoping they would pick the Pens, but alas. 😂 I do love Mike and Jane’s bloodlust for a good donnybrook (all my hockey knowledge comes from a few Pens games I went to and Letterkenny)

    As a massive hockey fan, this both massively frustrated and massively delighted me. I hope this becomes an annual challenge.
    Also, when they cycled through the teams and said "We're just going to anger all the hockey fans...Blue Jackets? Rubbish."...as a Blue Jackets fan...yeah, that's pretty accurate.

    Soccer: pass an item back and forth until you get it past the opposing goalie, usually between 0-3 points.
    Hockey: literally the same thing but on ice and violence.

    My totality of hockey love can be summarized as "I'm Canadian" which means, I know most of the rules and the teams, but only really care during the Stanley cup finals, and the Winter Olympics. And listening to everyone trying to explain, or dis-explain, hockey is amazing.
    Also I heard you Luke "Toronto: Home of Pup" darn straight!
