"i was very upset after lasts nights game to the point where i had to fire up my ps4 and play some gta5" -shannon 2024

I’m an Oilers fan and I’m here because Shannon gives me a perspective on the rest of the league. I love and appreciate it so much.

Barkov is easily the best two way forward in the league. I remember when he was a young kid playing in Tappara in finnish league and even as a young rookie he was showing really exceptional talent and two way play. It's great to see him becoming one of the best players in the NHL.

I am glad that there is a hockey jersey routine. helps support the entire league. So often small markets get over looked or looked down upon. Its great to see all the teams represented and seeing/hearing about players on all teams. This helps grow the league.

Barkov winning the Selke is well deserved

Barkov got more than 1600 votes for the Selke, whereas Staal who ended up second got less than 600. What's surprising for me is that Hintz was 6th with 300+ votes, not that I ever thought he wasn't good defensively but 6th best in the league caught me off-guard. Kinda like Matthews being 3rd.

As a Canucks fan i'm just happy we made it out of the first round. the fact that we brought Edmonton to game 7 is wild. If we win game 7 that's just gravy

Really feels like Edmonton and Vancouver are playing to see who gets destroyed by Dallas

As a Finn Florida - Dallas in the final would be a dream scenario. We would have at least 3 new Stanley Cup winners🎉

Barkov 🥇

so i am the resident stars fan at work , well , one of them . I wear hats everyday, everywhere. I get asked all of the time after a loss, or even a big win, how about those stars? I can totally relate to being really pissed off after a sub par effort , in my expert fan opinion . if i feel they left it all out there on the ice, then i'll concede that the better team won. i hate people asking me what happened after a loss when they played like crap, regular season or playoffs. I love my team, and yes, i need a day or two to let it soak in so to speak.. It 's a double edged sword being a passionate fan for any sport.. I live in the dfw metroplex, so i see a lot of this for the resident cowboys fans.. As usual , great video shannon , you are the one and only hockey guy imo.. thanks

Playing 9 straight playoffs games is not easy for a rookie goaltender. 1986 Patrick Roy : " hold my beer"

Won't be the last Selke for Barkov, I can see him winning 3-4 more.

The thought of THG playing GTA is hilarious to me. He’s sitting there saying “the guy calls a penalty, the car does not”

THG, clickbait, seriously the two words don't belong in the same sentence. Heck he gives way more info and entertainment than what's in the title 99% of the time.

You do what you do Shannon - excellence in puck talk 👍

Loved seeing Robertson get a few Selke votes. His defensive play seriously evolved this year.

I agree ...I love the playoffs, but find the Van / Edm series way too stressful...especially the show up not show up...by both teams..

9:45 I remember one time THG wore the losing teams jersey (I think it was a Canucks playoff game). Whatever it was it was a team he cheered for and it was a frustrating, tough loss. The comments section was on fire. The video got taken down and reposted with him wearing the winning team’s jersey. I laughed so hard at the start of the new video because Shannon was just like, “There! You happy now!?”

The hockey guy is the opposite of the usual canucks fan. Instead of rioting after a tough playoff loss, he does it in the comfort of his own home , in Gta 😂😂

At the time he retired, Brind’Amour stated he could’ve played a few more years; but he would have had to move out of Raleigh as Carolina was rebuilding and he would not do that for the sake of his family. Considering all that, it was always a stretch to see him go coach somewhere else.

exciting times to be alive!

I’m so happy Sasha won the Selke. Even though it was obvious, I’m happy for our captain! Underrated player

THG quote of the year : « Stealing some cars and things like that »

All Props to you Shannon for always wearing a winning team's jersey, even when they beat a team you actively cheer for. Just know that my heart soars like an eagle every time I see you wear the Preds Mustard/MethCat jersey! Side note: Since you mentioned the 2011 Cup Final, that series was so epic that it made the Bruins my 2nd fav team. I figured since the Preds are in the West, I can also have an Eastern Conf team to cheer for. With that said, I've pretty bummed both my teams are out of the playoffs now. I guess I'm all-in on the Rangers at this point, since Florida beat Boston so I can't go for them lol! Keep up the great work Sir! Cheers!

NHL should make 15-30 min video/show and announce all trophy winners at same time.

the GTA comment is literally all of us after our team loses😭 funny to hear that

How dare you doubt the inexhaustible stamina of SHE LOFFS???

Looking forward to seeing what changes you make next season! Should help negate the unavoidable burnout. Cheers 🥤

Shannon, I’m a dyed in the wool oilers fan. I’ve lived in Edmonton my whole life. We may cheer for different teams, but I’m as much of a fan of hockey as I am because of you 🙌🏼

Toronto losing that lead was sad for me as a Toronto dan but also because I assumed the attendance would now be lower. I really want that league yo succeed.

Canucks MIGHT be done for

Yep, turn on invincible mode in GTA 5 and wreck a havoc is a good way to vent...

No Demko and Boeser. Hockey Gods are cruel to Vancouver. Since 1983 cup finals I was a small kid that had his hopes crushed. Now thru the Linden,Sedins and now Hughes run I just feel numb. I feel your hidden sadness and disappointment for Vancouver.

If someone makes a thumbnail that says "clickbait video" and then talks about clickbait, is it a clickbait video?

Boesser out with blood clot issues is huge

Silovs doesn't look spent to me. He was really good in the last game. I wouldn't switch.

Do they just not have an awards show anymore? Did I miss the memo?

The grand theft auto comment was great!!!

Holy shit I was not expecting the Michkov rumors to intensify this much but my body is READY

A lil bit of GTA is a GREAT stress reliever

Just watching Barkov in that last series against the Bruins. There was no chance anyone else was gonna win that one except him.

… and Edmonton fan I feel like the canucks are going to decimate them. The choke is for real with these two teams. May the best in the west win.

If Vancouver moves on and Demko plays vs Dallas.... That's going to be one hell of a series, and if Dallas defeated them and has to play the Rangers in the final, then that is the hardest road to a Stanley Cup Championship I've ever seen

As a rookie, Ken Dryden had a record of 12-8-0 in 20 games with a goals against average of 3.01 and a save percentage of . 914 in the 1971 playoffs in his rookie season. He won his first Conn Smythe Trophy and his first Stanley Cup.

Nice jersey! 👍

A lot of the trophies and awards are mainly eastern biased. The media love the east teams or Canada for some odd reason

I honestly feel like I care more about the Worlds than the NHL sometimes. I find it cool because you get to see non-nhl players shine against NHL players and show how good they are despite not being in the NHL. Also some of the passion that some of the nation's fans have is next level. However, I totally understand you not covering them as you already do so much content and put so much effort into covering the NHL that I completely understand that you need a little bit of a break. However, I don't think you should completely not care about it either.

Ullmark to Avs or Canes?

Michkov > Gauthier

Jersey debate for newbies aka the entire nucks fanbase. One of the best content creators and really the only sane canucks fan gets ripped apart buy the nucks bandwagon, color me surprised!!!!

It was pretty tough beating Dallas with their top defenseman out and think we lost when he was in and now they have Tanev who is imitating the Terminator.. As a Canuck fan we have been climbing all season. Hope we can keep clawing our way forward.

Philly and KHL drama you don't say 😂🤦‍♂️ wonder why they would have a rocky relationship? Lol

Buffalo fans like myself were kind of hoping Brind’Amour might become available to attract as Granato’s replacement; glad he’s staying with Carolina as he is a huge reason for their resurgence after years of middling play.

Dude I respect the hell out of that. Get mad? just go play GTA 5 and take a load off. Steal some cars, stick up some stores and go on some high speed chases! Hell yeah! Btw love the channel. I’m happy I finally found a hockey guy who makes good content

Staal played the best defense this year but didn't have enough offense to please the voters. Disappointment.

It's weird, Michkov has apparently been posting videos on social media of him working out. And several times, wearing Flyers stuff. So I wonder how long the talks have been happening. Briere keeps saying "if we get him" but he did that about Kolosov/Fedotov, and that next weekend Kolosov was in town eating a cheesesteak. Draft will be interesting, Philly has two picks. If Michkov shows up early, do they abandon this part of the rebuild and use those picks to get him some immediate help / protection? Go find a veteran Russian to mentor him about being in the States, etc.

Are there any cool jersey mashups? Mixture of two or three teams, like Dallas Star with Boston B in it? :D Sounds like fun.

I thought putting DeSmith in was crazy but you are on point with your explanation as to why.......i still wouldnt though, Silovs has earned the right to battle in game 7 with the guys.

So if Vancouver wins which team does the hockey guy cheers for between Van vs Dallas

I'm in favor of moving Ullmark if it makes sense, but the Bruins should give serious consideration to moving Zacha, too. He has a similar salary and is coming off a career year. Why trade him, then? Because he's redundant. The Bruins already have a bunch of guys who play like Charlie Coyle. Zacha is one of them and Geekie is another. Strangely enough, they seem to be trying to make Frederick into another Coyle-lite, too. But I'd bet Zacha gets plenty of takers, and even if it's just for picks (Which they need), it frees up space to get the kind of center they want in free agency or maybe a trade.

Good news for Carolina and bad news for other teams who were hoping Brind'Amour would be available as a head coach. The PWHL is at least starting their Finals at a more reasonable time of year than the NHL. The NHL Finals shouldn't still be going on in the middle of June, unless you're playing on roller skates.

Kings fan here Cmon Canucks!

*Imagines an exact replica of the closet filled with meetup jerseys*

It’s 2011 all over again for Shannon

I would hate Ullmark going but if they can get a top 6 forward who can give someone besides Pastrnak to rack up goals (brad is great but he keeps getting older) 70-point scorer is ideal

Michkov!!!!!!

Huge Rangers fan here...I had a lot for RBA. One of the best coaches in the league. Really respect how he stood by his team. I think 8f Carolina let him go, the franchise would be set back years.

So the New Jersey debate?

You should do clickbait videos, your content on average is very honest and good attracting a few additional eyes with potential clickbait titles is not a bad idea. It is a winning formula for a lot of youtubers

I always considered the World Championships a meme because it's not best-on-best like you said.

Canucks fans about to bully THG into never wearing an Oilers jersey like they bullied that Boston pizza in Penticton.

I also choose GTA5 as catharsis. I like to get in a Nightshark and drive down the sidewalks. If I am less irritated I just aim for as many fire hydrants as possible.

So do we want to know how many pedestrian npc’s died?

Dang it! I just had dental surgery yesterday, I would have loved to play some hockey in Coquitlam. Face is still swollen though, maybe next time

The odd thing about the World championships is that for me as a hockey fan in Europe they were more important than the nhl playoffs growing up. I could cheer for a team to loose so that there Swedish players could play in the World Championships

You know Shannon is really pissed off about that Canucks game when he needs to play GTA 5 to calm down😂

no demo and no Boesser is brutal

Death truck livestreams this summer?????

Closest thing to click baiting might be some older videos where the cats in the back ground kinda stole the video. I enjoyed those videos tho.

During his rookie season, I predicted Petey would have won a Selkie, by now. Alas, well deserved by Barkov.

DeSmith has about 200 minutes of Stanley Cup playoff experience. I think it would be way more risky to put cold goalie in at this point. I would predict the result would be 8 minutes 4 shots against, two goals allowed, Silovs back in the net. Not that I think Silovs is that much or any better than DeSmith. But this point Canucks should just go with Silovs.

Why did/would Michikov want to play for the Flyers specifically? Any more to this? Any one have speculations they'd enjoy sharing?

Not that Silovs has let us down in the slightest, but I was hoping Demko would be able to come in for a 1 game do or die put it on your back kind of game. But I guess if you're not ready it just is what it is.

@THG I've been wondering what it really means that a team is struggling with scoring even though they get chances. This reason for losing is given quite often but it isn't elaborated at all. Is it bad luck? Is it a mental thing? Are the players just bad at shooting the puck? Is is something wrong with the game plan? Is it because the opposing goalie is playing really well? Especially when scoring is a problem for a longer period like it has been for the Canes in playoffs I think it should be elaborated further. Maybe this could be a video idea.

A lot of players want to play their contracts out with their teams, but you know what, being traded is a part of the business, and the team is going to do what’s best in their interest. And right now he’s the only trade chip they have that can bring a good return. They’ve already tried to trade him multiple times I mean he’s a good goalie. They are going to get a good return. Plus this summer his contract has less teams he can say no to a trade from. A lot of teams like Ottawa, San Jose, la, could use him as a full time starter.

The oilers and Vancouver are lucky they didn’t have to play Colorado or Vegas because I think they lose to both of them, and I think whoever wins tomorrow loses to Dallas as well

Hummmm flyers news??? Yee hawww .....

Death truck?

I had game 6 on, but was hardley watching. I like you, waa not happy with the Canucks effort. I went and played AoE2

When do the prospect videos start?

Why are you confused that an alberta and bc team hate each other. We hate each other as provinces in general

Was with you last night Shannon. Disappointing effort from the team. Lets have a good game 7. Go Canucks Go!

Had to fire up my ps4 & play some gta5. Getting prepped in case of another Vancouver hockey riot?? 😂

Can people stop saying "Barkov is the most underappreciated player in the NHL" now?

You’d be nuts to fire Brindy. Barking Mad Barkov as I like to call him, reminds a bit of Fedorov, just an awesome skating 2-way forward with strength, skill, and speed.

Either is Brock… Blood Clot. Poor young man. Scary but it appears to be non-life threatening.. thank god.

I love me some GTA but when my team loses a stinker of a game or series, I turn on the PS5 and play NHL 24 and avenge my team 😂. I get done on the digital ice what they couldn't get done in RL.

Sports, politics, etc All Tribalism

Stealing some cars and stuff🤣
