I know my post is simply “one post,” but I want you to know that it is distinctively clear that you are a Boston Bruin, Vancouver Canuck, & Dallas Stars fan WITHOUT the obvious bias that otherwise may be observed. I think you do a tremendous job at being 100% professional, unbiased, and a hockey enthusiast which is more than any of us expect and/or deserve. The hockey guy: you are truly a blessing. I always look forward to your videos, regardless of what subject is being discussed. Sincerely, A humble, worried, NYR fan. 🤝

In this series Ian Cole has more goals for the oilers than McDavid

That defensive stand by the Canucks in the third period was insane. Silovs carried the team on his back in that game.

The fact McDavid and Draisaitl are logging damn near 30 minutes a night is simply unsustainable. The depth in Edmonton is shallower than a kiddie pool.

I honestly appreciate you always coming into your reviews with as unbiased opinion as possible. When your following gets as large as yours is you’re bound to have people who won’t be happy with that. Keep doing you Shannon.

The fact that Oilers fans have the audacity to chant ANY opposing goalie with Skinner in net LOL

Hey THG, I don't usually comment on KZfaq but I just wanted to say I love your content! It's disappointing to see so many stupid comments recently, but I hope you remember 99% of us don't think that way and simply love your videos.

Silovs is having a great day today. Canucks exposing the main flaw in the Oilers lineup. Defense liability and suspect goaltending.

I’ve been cheering the Canucks for exactly 30 years. When was 12 my family was moving from Alaska to Alabama (dad was military) and my younger brother and I watched the Canucks go all the way to the cup finals during that move. It was 1994. We’ve been fans ever sense. ❤ You’re one of the best when it comes to breakdowns and reviews. We very much appreciate you!

Imagine telling one of the most dedicated fan of any sport on the internet that he doesn’t cheer for the teams he cheers for. Ridiculous honestly.

What a performance by Silovs, guy honestly looks unstoppable. All the goals scored against him are basically impossible to defend against. Vancouver might've discovered quite a diamond in him

Getting Ian Cole off the Lightning immediately improved our defense lol. Vancouver needs to healthy scratch him for now on

Lindholm 2 goals and Zadorov absolutely gooning guys. These guys are just oiler killers 🔥🔥🔥

Canucks PK came up huge when it mattered tonight.

Shannon, I was first drawn to your channel years back because your love for the sport was woven throughout the video I watched. I’ve felt that way with each video since. Your fandom of this beautiful game I love and of your chosen teams is something no sane person can question. Thank you for providing a forum to discuss with random strangers on their internet. Tough one for Boston. Nice one for Vancouver. Silovs is building a name for himself.

"It's true. It does come across as whining. And teams that are going to win, overcome bad calls." - this guy is legit my hockey hero

The legend of Silovs continues! 🇱🇻

That hit on Kane was awesome

Shannon my man, please try not to take these angry internet hooligans personally. There will always be haters, it is impossible to please everybody. For every annoying commenter, there are 100 that are complimenting you and appreciating you. In my books, you are a more real fan when you can be mad at your own team than those who constantly defend them no matter what. Keep up the good work, you are the goat among the hockey community 💪

Have no idea about the negative comments you get - you provide a very fair and thoughtful analysis of the games, this is especially the case with games that involve the teams you like. You have a great ability of showing your excitement for the teams you like doing well, while also giving an objective view of the game. I don't think anyone does a better job of balancing those two things than you. THG is my go to hockey commentary.

I appreciate you avoiding the whining, it doesn't make you any less of a fan it just makes you a level-headed one. Glad your teams are doing well!

Shannon, simply put…you are THE MOST honest, unbiased and fair opinoned hockey content creator I’ve come across. There will always be haters, no matter how amazing you may be. Keep doing you, good sir.

Oh mah heart. This series is gonna be a wild one, going to 6 or 7 at least. Cole is absolutely cursed lol, poor guy.

Sorry to hear that you had a rough day Shannon. Please remember that your mental health should ALWAYS come first, lots of people care for your wellbeing. And to all the malicious angry people who comment, please internalize that even though its through the medium of the internet, you are directing negativity and hurtful words to another HUMAN BEING. Thank you for your hard work as always, hope you have a good night.

Lindholm's second goal wasnt the tip in, it was a puck under his skate which he besutifully kicked up to his stick and scored on a backhand Edit: thanks for the content ☺️ go canucks!

The best moment in the game was when the camera caught Kris Knoblauch, Kane and Perry’s faces when they were given the bench minor. Kane and Perry were smiling ear to ear like” yeah that was fun, we will get a PP out of it also?”.......then the smug faces just dropped. Mcdavid skating up the ref fuming was the icing on the cake also.

Thanks Shannon. You’re the best. Hope things improve for you outside of hockey.

Zadorov shoving Kane into the bench like a middle schooler in a locker room was hilarious. Also, stay classy Bruins for ruining Shannon's mood.

“Tocchet starts reading the riot act to his players” 😂😂😂 I love it.

My team is already golfing(like usual) but gotta cheer for the Canucks!

I love how you handle talking about the officiating. Very refreshing and often helps me keep a level head. Keep it up :)

Ian Cole producing more offense than the Oilers' bottom 6.

Gotta love the the former flames are absolutely cooking the oilers 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Hockey Guy for the review. I’m not a fan of either of these teams but I enjoy you showing your personality and enthusiasm for Vancouver. I’m sorry you didn’t have a great day. Hopefully tommorow is much better, keep up the great work!

Canucks vs Saros in 6 games = 13 goals Canucks vs Skinner in 8 periods = 12 goals

This series is making me hate Edmonton more than Calgary LOL

I appreciate your professional approach

mcdavid acting out and getting laid out after the horn was the funniest thing i have seen so far in these playoffs

Agree. Aman was a standout for Canucks. Especially defensively late in the game.

We all hove those kinds of days, Shannon. Sending you some good energy. 🙂

Great work again with the review. Hope everything is OK with you outside hockey.

You’re the best THG! Thanks for making our days better even when yours isn’t necessarily going great!

Zadorov knocking Kane in the bench, and cross checking McDavid at the end made me smile.

King Silovs

What a game, holy moly. Zadorov better have his eyes open next game.

Is there a team that has seemingly been outplayed in this many playoff games yet has won 6 of the 9,what a gritty, mentally tough group this is. Silovs is phenomenal. BTW go off Shannon, you deserve to call out the d bag idiots. You are so good at being very clearly a fan of Boston, Dallas and Vancouver and staying very unbiased. Hope your day is better tomorrow

Sorry about the earlier game Shannon. The Canucks from what I saw did keep the pucks to the outside. Did Silovs steal a few? Yes. That was the stuff of legends. Keep up the great work!

Zadorov hit Kane onto the Oilers bench, but he couldn't leave the bench because a bunch of Oilers players were holding his stick to keep him there. That's why there was a bench minor called against them. I wish the refs will just call no penalties but keep the play 5 on 5 instead. But my guess is because the refs realized what happened after they made the call on Zadorov, they called a bench minor to even things up.

My body is ready for the Canucks Stars preview

11:26 that might be one of the best impressions i’ve ever seen.

As a Bolts fan, the Canucks are my playoff team to root for this year and hope they go as far as they can. Dallas is second. Really want one of Shannon's teams to win it (even though I think NY is destined for it all).

I've said this for years and I'll say it again: I simply cannot understand why the Oilers are considered a "contender" when all they have is 97 and 29. Those two guys were on the ice for HALF THE GAME, since the Oilers obviously don't have the depth people keep insisting they have. As there is ample proof, it is entirely possible to win a playoff round or two with just 97 and 29 (they're that good) but I would bet not just one but both of my testicles that you'll never win 4 rounds of a Stanley Cup playoff with only 97 and 29. But whatever...the "experts" will ignore this and forever claim that the Oilers are a "contender" when they clearly don't have what it takes as a team to earn the hardest trophy to win in professional sports.

Canucks PK stepped out when it mattered. And Oilers couldn’t score 5 on 5. Not pretty but still a win!

Enjoying the playoffs and all of the goals!! Thanks for the coverage!! All the best!!

Shannon, you’re the best and the coolest. You’re seriously the bee’s knees. Your fans love the way you do things, eff the people complaining on your videos. All this means is that now you’re popular enough to have haters 😎

Don't let the chirpers get to you Skanes! A good vent sesh is always needed after comments like that. I empathize. Oh and the Oil will get them next game... hopefully...

I hope your week is better!! Sorry to hear that your Sunday was rough. I appreciate your decision about not being whiny - very logical!

Good for you, Shannon! Obviously these clowns that constantly bitch about your reviews are the minority. Like myself, I know you’re a huge Canucks fan but you always stay unbiased in your reviews. Keep doing what you’re doing! I look forward to all your reviews and videos. Bless.

Shannon, your an amazing human being, and a wonderful hockey analyst, you have a wonderful night

I’m glad Shannon has as many subs as he does, the cruel irony is that he’s exposed to more idiots as a result of that.

Can I just say... 90% of the Oilers' offense has been that McDavid-Draisaitl line. It seemed like they played every other shift. I checked the ice time for the last couple of games, and they have both played at least 29 minutes each for both games. So yes, they got a lot of chances and a lot of shots. But... they are getting offense from only 1 line. Everyone wants to say that the Canucks are hanging by a thread but rarely do I see people acknowledge that they are defending very well. There's a reason why the Oilers are pairing McDavid and Draisaitl together. That's their only chance right now. We will see what happens for the rest of the series, but after that Hyman goal, they looked tired and barely put a last ditch effort at the end there. They really need that depth scoring, or we might see more results like tonight.

King Richard bequeaths you the title King Silovs.

I’m sorry that you did not have a great day. I hope things improve.

Thank you for all you do for us

You may not be getting paid by the NHL but you should as your channel and videos are doing a lot for the game. Excellent coverage.

Don't sweat the haters! This coming from a Flyers fan. Your reviews are number 1! A friend from the City of Brotherly Love!

Shannon i'm a long time fan, It saddens me how little faith you still have in this Canucks team. "If they somehow steal this series" is such a discredit to the team. The Canucks are a great team, with great defence and some serious star power. They're right in this series and if they win it won't be considered stolen.

Shannon, just ignore those clowns who don’t consider you a “real” Boston fan. They live in a fantasy land where if you are somewhat critical or not enraged at something, you are not a true fan. I completely get being angry though. Having one’s fandom questioned by some smooth brains is incredibly annoying.

My thoughts are that this is amazing and I love watching you even more when good things happen to the Canucks. In SheLoves we trust

Love the ongoing story of Abbostford’s Goalie!

The thing about most fanbases is that they only recognize the bad officiating when their team is negatively impacted by it. It doesn't just come across as whining, it also makes people look horribly biased to the point that they can't see straight.

320 views in 3 minutes Mans rocking it

Thanks Shannon, always appreciate your synopsis of every game. To me, watching this game, Oilers top boys did everything they could to get some pucks past Silovs, but he has really excelled in goal since he's been brought in. Skinner was definitely part of the issue for Oilers tonight. Not sure how confident he is feeling but he'll have to get better in net, most definitely. It's an entertaining series to watch but I think Oilers will have to play desperate hockey from here on out if they hope to win this series.

Glad Vancouver pulled that out for you. I know how dumb it feels when you're upset about your team having a bad day when you're having a bad day, but it would be nice for something to go right. And some days it just doesn't. My team is golfing right now so I don't even have that to look forward to.

Sorry for all the negative feedback, I love what you’re doing!

Can't let the idiots get to you. They're in every fan base. Love what you do Shannon.

Great recap .

Skinner-Skinner, Chicken Dinner! With a sweet course of Pickard.

Shannon, if it's any consolation to you, that sick feeling that you have when Boston loses is the very same feeling that a lot of us have when they win... 😃...So thanks for taking the bullet for us! But I've got your back on your other two teams...To the matter at hand...I looked it up. "Silovs" is Latvian for "he who wears the red cape". Fate is the wind that brushes off the dustiest of diamonds. This kid is impressive!...Now that Carolina is whistling past the graveyard, the Canucks are the only team I have left in the playoffs, but I have to admit that I do admire Edmonton's style of play. Tic, tac, toe, tic, toc, tac, toe, tic...Bam!...It can't be overstated how well Silovs is playing. I still think this Oiler offense is the most lethal in the NHL today. I don't know if Skinner is the whole problem. They do seem to have the occasional lapses on transition, so is this an ongoing thing? Can't say...Honestly, whichever horse comes out of this race will be the one I ride throughout. I'm okay with Dallas, but I have misgivings about the Stars staying with Oettinger. Rangers? Florida? Meh...

Kane hooked and held zedorov on the check into the bench, that’s why he was all smiles after. Watch Kane’s arm as he flips

Also sorry to hear you didn’t have a great day, hopefully tomorrow will be better!

No matter which game your watching, the officiating is horrible and makes the games look fixed.

Shannon I've been watching hockey since 1972 and root for 1 team! I don't know how you root for 3!

That 3rd period by the Canucks brought back 1980 miracle on ice moments from USA vs Russia lol.

This game sums up the enigma of NHL playoff hockey. A high-powered team can dominate an opponent but still fail. It's why it's so fun!

You are the only channel on KZfaq among my crazy amount of interests, that I have notifications enabled for. I love your content, and I appreciate the middle ground that you always take. Whenever I’m pissed about a rangers loss and the inconsistent officiating, I wait for your review to ground me. Thank you for everything you do for us hockey fans!!! If there’s one nitpick, your animals should make cameos in your videos more :) Hope your days improve soon, and hope one of your teams can give you an easy win.

Was waiting for this review

Hahahaha. Well spoken. You're a Beauty!. keep doing what you do best. 🎉😂 Best series going right now. Two heavy hitters going head to head! Tocchet and staff are the mechanic's behind this machine... Nucks in 7.

Shannon, your a calm, knowledgeable, and reasonable dude. Most people are idiots. So dont worry about stupid comments. Your great

Youre the best Shannon never change

Good lord, soooo many opportunities for the Oilers to change the momentum but, the goalie & defense held

This is the first time in the playoffs the Canucks played like they did when they were at the top of the league! Starting strong, getting the lead, and shutting the other team down!

These playoffs are a strong reminder of why teams need to “control the controllables” and while officials can be inconsistent and make bad mistakes there’s not much a team can do to change that

Hope you have a better day tomorrow, Shannon! Thanks for all you do :)

LETS GO CANUCKS

Silovs run has cam ward shades

FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, PLEASE BENCH IAN COLE BEFORE HE SCORES A FUCKING HAT TRICK FOR THE OTHER TEAM.

Oilers top players are going to gas themselves out with the huge minutes they are playing

I noticed esp near the end of 2nd and 3rd period, Centerman , if a 50/50 chance of recovering puck in Edm zone, they were peeling back to backup defence

Imagine thinking someone isn't a fan of a team because they're critical of said team or not apoplectic about a no call
