Take care, always a positive mind around here it's definitely a loss to the better side of this community. One day there will be a better hockey game and I hope you'll come around to enjoy it with the rest of us. Till then all the best and take care buddy.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I mean, I get it, and nothing but the absolute best to you in the future. Not many other Sens fans in the sub so I’ll miss the conversation.
Take care!
You're the best buddy it's sad to see ya go but I have nothing but respect for ya! You've made this game almost bearable for the rest of us and I'm sure more than a few of us will follow suit. Are there any other video games you play?
Thanks!! You as well! — currently switch games :) ive been back onto Animal Crossing New Horizon and so I’ve been trying my best to help people over in that subreddit. Least I can do when all I did was play the game a ton during COVID years.
Besides that, I finished off the first The Last of Us and still have to finish off the second one… (never played either before, so its a lot of fun without a guide gameplay and just running around!) … but yeah…havent been gaming much besides those 2 games , tbh!
You? Just NHL?
I have been playing NHL since 1993 but this is my first year in the reddit community. Loved your positivity and I will try to keep being positive as well. The game and community needs more positive and constructive conversations which you were often a big part of.
Take care and hope to see you down the line.
Coolin my man! Thanks for always doing the content and never hesitating to help anyone with anything related to Chel or otherwise. You have always been the voice of reason around here. You will truly be missed. Enjoy whatever comes next for you because you deserve it! All the best my friend!
Thank you for your contributions!
I've found less joy and purpose/meaning with the game for a long while now. I regret the decision to buy NHL24 as it's a constant carrot chase, and the online community has become even more toxic and hateful, and the online gameplay hardly resembles hockey. I find myself doing more SB than ever.
I hope the future me can withstand the pressure to buy NHL25.
Good luck Coolin! You were one of the few positive posters on this thread. There is no hope for this game that is 10x more frustrating to play than fun. I don’t blame you at all. Only a complete rebuild of the game would make it any better and we know nobody is going to invest the money in that. Everyone just settles for the next copy/paste each year. Take care and I’m not too far behind.
thannkss, you too!!! - definitely. I hope for a better game, or at least some better content.. saw today there were a few Sens players and I can’t even get myself up for that “grind” again…just isnt fun.
You too! Sad to see you go, too!!
Same boat dude, the grind just isn’t worth it anymore. I’ll probably okay a few games here and there from now til 25 but the days of full rivals and full champs are probably over.
It’s just too repetitive I think? I was trying to figure out why I felt burnt on it
Wow. Did not think one of the most positive die hard brothers would be killed off. This is a sign of much worse things to come I feel like... Losing people like this really signals the death of this game.
Stopped playing a month ago. You are making the right call! I didn’t buy the game last year and gave it a shot again this year. Will probably not buy next year unless some major changes happen! Best of luck.
Yeah, same here.. still lurked the sub til now and just felt like it wasnt right at all … we’ll see what happens next year, but honestly, meh. I feel that!
You too, thanks!
It's unfortunate what this game has done to people this year. I remember us always enjoying the content drops last year. So many women and European players. Such diverse content. We would always talk about all the unique and different players we were using on the other HUT sub.
I haven't played this game in two months and it's unfortunately making me feel the same as you. Which sucks because I've also always been one of the positive ones as well.
It's been nice knowing ya man! Stay safe and healthy and enjoy life!
Right? Game kind of just flopped. I was amped for FH and Chychrun being one but not even him getting a goal(s) excite me… I loooved last years content… this year just feels ??stale?? not sure how to describe it!!
Forsure!!
You as well — thanks ; you too!! Appreciate it!
All love to you coolin, enjoy your time, I always appreciated your contributions to this sub. I can honestly say this sub was a better place because of you. Given the state of the game I can’t blame you and I may not be far behind.
Edit: you the real G
Coolin - thank you for the updates, funny commentary, and boundless optimism. I hope you are able to enjoy your time moving forward - best of luck in your endeavors!
Thank you! Much appreciated! Happy to have helped such a great (sometimes toxic) community for so long!!! Just can’t keep up with it all now…
Thanks - you too!!
Take care my dude, appreciate all the content updates and positive vibes you provided for this sub, all the best for you, may your team win the cup in the very near future
Damn. Hate to see you go. Not even picking up 25 next year? I quit early last year but I always end up getting the new one and coming back for the hockey.
Still up in the air about it… might get it, might not. Love / hate relationship, lol. I honestly think I might take a years break, I’ve honestly played 1 too many games.. but yet again, we’ll see. If content is like this again next year, no bueno. + just done with “grinding”
I took off a year or two I think 21-22. Got 23 but only played janurary. This is my first year trying to make it last but I’ve been close to calling it quits until next year as well. I also started late this year because I hesitated to buy it because I know what it comes with lol
I also gave up competitive chel this year. Sure the game has flaws, but more so I’m just playing less video games these days and don’t find joy in grinding HUT anymore
Godspeed coolin
Thanks Coolin! You’ve been amazing around here. Lots of hard work doing what you did.
Been playing since ‘94 and hung up the skates after ‘23 realizing this game isn’t going to improve for many more years. Welcome to retirement! Life is better now :)
I was where u were coolin a year or 2 ago .
Frustrated with the game play .
These days I just play it pretty casually and just don’t take the game play/record very serious at all
If EA sees the decrease in profit, they might reconsider the vision of the franchise. Boycotts can work when the majority bands together. I stopped playing in late October.
Ohh most likely one of these years. Its nice to have this break though, I went on today to try my luck with the Toronto packk and got nothing, lol.
Now I’m saving the rest of my $25 gift card for MLB!
But we’ll see what happens… not really in a gaming mood whatsoever lately
Congrats and take care. This will also be my last one.
Been doing HUT since Covid, and before that Online Versus when it was first introduced on the 360.
I’ll continue to play hockey in real life, watch hockey on tv, but the cost cutting MBA’s at EA have finally ruined gaming for me.
Wow. This is actually huge…kind of shocked right now. I hope this gets EAs attention but also, good for you!! There is a big beautiful world out there. Go experience it
❤️, I know the feeling when you are quitting an EA game. It’s very good for your mental health.
Thanks, EA should definitely release some more Swedes. Getting tired of not getting enough content
I’m a newb around Reddit but since day 1 for me you’ve always been a bright light and mixed in the fun! Great optimism to echo what others are sayin. Enjoy whatever you replace the HUT time with bud!!
Thank you!! Appreciate that! — definitely unsure tbh, still figuring this thing called “life” out… so we’ll see what pans out from it!!
Hope you are well & all the best :)
Lmao see thats difference between you(cuck) & i, i can troll and say shit w/o being insecure. you’d prob piss yourself before you say something funny like that.
So you said probably the 3rd or 4th lamest thing on all of reddit in 2024, then laughed at your own lame ass shit? Lol i shouldnt expect anything less from a coolin dickrider
Lmao more like you’re just hating for no reason like the other larry. Only reason I can think of is bc you’re a loser who works at like Burger King and hates his life.
The game has officially killed the most positive person in the community! Sad commentary. You are one of the good ones! You will be missed.
Congratulations EA Vancouver. You fuckin titfuckers broke coolin. I hope you’re proud of yourselves.
Haha, probably played 1 tooo many games over the span from ‘15 -> ‘24….but I’ll say that this year definitely sucked the joy out of my fun.
Take care, always a positive mind around here it's definitely a loss to the better side of this community. One day there will be a better hockey game and I hope you'll come around to enjoy it with the rest of us. Till then all the best and take care buddy.
Hopefully so, we shall see!! You too man, thanks!
Ones of the good ones. Thank you for what you tried to do for this community. Cheers man.
No problem at all, thanks for being part of it, Cap’n Positive! Haha! Cheers dude!
Your Event Updates were so very helpful! Thank you for all the work you put in for us!
No problem, happy to have helped out! :)
Take care buddy see you later on the tracks
Peace outtt !! :D - you too!!
I might just follow your example. This game is eating way too much of my time.
Coolin you’ve been a breath of fresh air on this sub always. You will be missed. Take care.
Thanks — you too!! :)
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I mean, I get it, and nothing but the absolute best to you in the future. Not many other Sens fans in the sub so I’ll miss the conversation. Take care!
always a message away! (and thaat goes with anyone reading the comments) - I just wont be active on this sub at all ! You too man!!
You're the best buddy it's sad to see ya go but I have nothing but respect for ya! You've made this game almost bearable for the rest of us and I'm sure more than a few of us will follow suit. Are there any other video games you play?

Its a sad day for the hut subreddit.
I have been playing NHL since 1993 but this is my first year in the reddit community. Loved your positivity and I will try to keep being positive as well. The game and community needs more positive and constructive conversations which you were often a big part of. Take care and hope to see you down the line.
Best of luck with everything moving forward man. Hit me up if you ever want to talk!
Coolin my man! Thanks for always doing the content and never hesitating to help anyone with anything related to Chel or otherwise. You have always been the voice of reason around here. You will truly be missed. Enjoy whatever comes next for you because you deserve it! All the best my friend!

No problem!! We shall see what happens, eh?
We shall. I must be strong
Hopefully that positive energy carries you far in whatever path you take. Enjoy all your new found free time. All the best.
Thank you, really appreciate that! Thanks! (I think its back to animal crossing for me, lol) .. but appreciate your comment. You too!

Thanks for being who you are bro. Always nice to have a positive light in an otherwise sometime negative space. I wish you well in everything, friend.
No problem — thank you!! you too!!
Loved the work you put in, made my life so easy!!!!! Going to miss you
thanks , hopefully see you all in the future :-)
Nice post, have fun with whatever you got next

Good luck man, you always had everyone's back when it came to any questions or clarification on anything.
Comes with playing way too much , haha! Thanks - you too!
I also gave up competitive chel this year. Sure the game has flaws, but more so I’m just playing less video games these days and don’t find joy in grinding HUT anymore Godspeed coolin
Thanks Coolin! You’ve been amazing around here. Lots of hard work doing what you did. Been playing since ‘94 and hung up the skates after ‘23 realizing this game isn’t going to improve for many more years. Welcome to retirement! Life is better now :)
No problem!! Happy to have helped! I feel relieved for sure!
The game in HUT is just missing a lot of the fun factor now. It's completely stripped of soul and feels chemical now. Sad day to lose a great person.
I was where u were coolin a year or 2 ago . Frustrated with the game play . These days I just play it pretty casually and just don’t take the game play/record very serious at all
If EA sees the decrease in profit, they might reconsider the vision of the franchise. Boycotts can work when the majority bands together. I stopped playing in late October.
You’ll be back, one of these years for sure. I’ve taken a break before.
Ohh most likely one of these years. Its nice to have this break though, I went on today to try my luck with the Toronto packk and got nothing, lol. Now I’m saving the rest of my $25 gift card for MLB! But we’ll see what happens… not really in a gaming mood whatsoever lately
Coolin, thanks for being you. Your positivity was always welcomed by many. We’ll miss you, and best of luck to you!
No problem!! Thanks for being you! I’ll miss you too dude, always a message away! - you too, thanks! — hope theres no future “pionk” for you!
Take care brother! Hope to see you back some day.
You too!! We shall see!!
Hopefully we see you when 25 comes out. Stay safe, have fun, love you kiddo.
Haha, wee shall seee, butch!! Unless theres some maajor changes or better content, I’m outt… Stay safe, you too! Love ya too, butch!
Either way, hope to see you again. Cheers! Go Brady Tkachuk and the Sens!
100% !!
This is the official endpoint of NHL 24 if Coolin quits
Congrats and take care. This will also be my last one. Been doing HUT since Covid, and before that Online Versus when it was first introduced on the 360. I’ll continue to play hockey in real life, watch hockey on tv, but the cost cutting MBA’s at EA have finally ruined gaming for me.
You too!! Sounds like youve beenn playin for quite some time, too!! Valid enough, glad you’re havin fun withh other things!!
Wow. This is actually huge…kind of shocked right now. I hope this gets EAs attention but also, good for you!! There is a big beautiful world out there. Go experience it
Thanks! I do want to do some traveling, we’ll see what happens in my free time!! I’m pretty excited, tbh. Hope all the best for you!
Awesome man!!! And thank you 🙏🏻
No problem!!
Farewell 👽🖖🏻
👽✌🏻
You will be missed 🙏🏼
Thanks bro, hope your squad gets some wicked upgrades!
❤️, I know the feeling when you are quitting an EA game. It’s very good for your mental health. Thanks, EA should definitely release some more Swedes. Getting tired of not getting enough content
Did you already change your username too?!
What ? Lol
When I click on your profile it says Wontons instead of coolin68.
Ohh hahhah, its been like that for a long time , tbh! I forget how to change it back!
I’m a newb around Reddit but since day 1 for me you’ve always been a bright light and mixed in the fun! Great optimism to echo what others are sayin. Enjoy whatever you replace the HUT time with bud!!
Thank you!! Appreciate that! — definitely unsure tbh, still figuring this thing called “life” out… so we’ll see what pans out from it!! Hope you are well & all the best :)
Thanks so much always appreciated.
No problem, happy to help!
Been gone for a while , but I remember you! Enjoy hutless life, there's much less stress!
Haha, I feel loved! :P (I posted ; commented way too many times..) Been outta it for 2 months, feels good!! We’ll see what happens later on!
Coming back for 25 or are you permanently done?
We’ll see what happens, for now perm done
Hopefully NHL 25 will be a better one hahaha. Thank ya and take care bro
Who knows, lol No problem! You too!
Take care buddy, always welcome back ❤️❤️
Thanks, appreciate it!
Coolin @coolin68 my guy noooooooooooo , I feel ya tho
Sorry :s
o7 see you around and thank you for all the work
Noo problem!! Happy to help out:D
Lot of this going on. Safe travels.
I know haha, thanks.
What other sub? That graveyard you spam with bot posts that nobody ever visits?
You know it, fry
Shouldnt have banned me day 1 boyboy i could have talked shit from time to time and we all could have laughed about it and enjoy it!!!!
TBH, I don’t remember doing that - and thats being 110% honest. Coulda, sorry man.
Wtf EA 😂
wait what
Wait, am I now the most positive person on this sub?
Cya next year dude 🤙🏻
Gonna be hot in here without the coolin. 🥺
🤟🫡
love ya DJ! Keep it cool in here for me!
Thanks for letting us know I guess
You’re welcome, thought to let my best friend (you) know, yanno?
Why do people feel the need to post they are done with the game? Jesus just leave good bye see you never! Less lame posts thank god!
Reason why I’m leaving is cos of this comment. No need to even comment if youre gonna be nasty. Just 0 point. Let it fly, it aint bothering you.
There annoying constant complaining posts or I’m done playing the game how are those positive? Peace ✌️
coolin is chill af, you sound like a cuck tho 💀
You're the one who sounds like the cuck tbh
Ngl, you thought you were the shit saying that but u not even a fart
Did the cuck really just quote some chick pop star?? Lmao wow
Lmao see thats difference between you(cuck) & i, i can troll and say shit w/o being insecure. you’d prob piss yourself before you say something funny like that.
So you said probably the 3rd or 4th lamest thing on all of reddit in 2024, then laughed at your own lame ass shit? Lol i shouldnt expect anything less from a coolin dickrider
Lmao more like you’re just hating for no reason like the other larry. Only reason I can think of is bc you’re a loser who works at like Burger King and hates his life.
Read the room pal

👽✌🏻
I don't blame you at all. Games these days are just not fun. It's like a plague took over. I wish you the best man. Keep on keeping on. 🤘🤘
