Kelly Jelly is a superstar, but Nasher has found a reason to leave him on the bench: a stat boost for everyone else. It's the sort of decision that makes his return to Tape to Tape more than another hockey game with unusual opponents.
In "I beat the IMPOSSIBLE hockey game....", Nasher attempts the hardest difficulty, where a single loss ends the run. He picks a speed-boosting Holy Fungus power-up, takes on soccer-themed Hockey FC on a pitch-like rink, then sends his reshuffled lineup against the figure-skating Shooting Stars. Later comes a boss encounter with the frog-like Cup Cultists. The road to hockey glory has taken a peculiar turn.
The video has reached roughly 78,000 views, making it the most watched of his two uploads this week. Viewers are asking for a full playthrough and a regular Tape to Tape slot, with one proposing "Thursdays" as the obvious appointment. Another suggests a crossover with Linus from Linus Tech Tips.
Rusty Jr. supplies the other half of the week. "NHL 27 BE A PRO #8 *THE END OF RUSTY JR?!*" continues Rostislav Nasherov Jr.'s career and currently carries the most daily momentum on the channel. It also drew a slightly larger first-day audience than Tape to Tape, while the previous Be A Pro episode continues picking up views.
Nasher remains just short of a million subscribers, with the count unchanged over the week, though his current daily views are comfortably above normal. Among nearby sports-gaming channels, AuzioMF and ASP FC had substantial weeks for views. For Nasher, the liveliest new question is less about the milestone than whether Kelly Jelly deserves his place back.

@jackkiek2039See it on YouTubeI'm reluctant to do this, but petition for Nasher to play Tape to Tape against Linus of Linus Tech Tips. They talk about Tape to Tape constantly on the WAN Show podcast. Would be a fun crossover episode.

Been playing this game since the very first demo they released. It is amazing through and through. Every version before the actual release has been absolute gold. The final result is even better, honestly.
