Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube 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 21” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

  1. This channel is quite funny when it comes down to draft, because you basically want every player in the draft. You must be very happy person when it comes down to draft. No matter who Canucks choose you will be happy :DDD

  2. SJ Scout: He can't skate
    DWilson: Disciplined you say?
    SJ Scout: No sir, he's a pylon on dull blades in mud, sir.
    DWilson: Good in all 3 zones, I like it!
    SJ Scout: Uhhh, are you messing with me?!?
    DWilson: Depth is a priority you said! First rounder on the 4th line, that's depth!

    Oliver going 7th overall, confirmed, unless Doug can trade up for him.

  3. Casper the friendly ghost!!! Many thanks for doing a video on Oliver Kapinen. He's been a prospect I've had an eye on for a while so it was really good to hear your thoughts about him. To me he's a Steve Yzerman type draft pick, no question. 200' player, good motor, work ethic, hockey IQ etc. I really hope the Wings go after him, either with the Rangers or Edmonton pick in the second round. We also need depth forwards like Kapinen to build a successful team. Fingers crossed for draft day 2……

  4. I'll give a Pringles to the person or gm that drafts him ahead of the 6'6" Finnish giant, but only if you're in the Montreal Fantasy Hockey League, and only if your name's Pierre Maguire.
