As a Wild fan, there were times I hated us too.

As a Nordiques fan, I still loved that the Avs won the cup in 96 as most of us stayed Avs fans. Plus a bunch of players came down when Quebec got their day with the cup. Yes, the city got a day with the cup.

Glad to hear you be honest about hating Detroit because they won so much. I can imagine it gets annoying if you're not a Wings fan. People have certainly enjoyed kicking them while they're down over the past decade or so, which is understandable, if frustrating. I hope everyone hates them for winning again very soon.

I gave a thumbs up just for the Buddy Christ jersey.

Love the soda throwback!

An Avalanche of emotions here . The Nordiques were/are my favorite . 80's playoff hockey , Nordiques vs. Whomever ... CLASSIC !

The more you become a fan of hockey in general and watch out of town games you learn to like players on every team and just depending on night and circumstances determines who you root for.

As a wings fan 15:50 made me bust out laughing. Yeah, for a long time the Wings were the Yankees of hockey. Hated beyond belief and bought the Stanley Cup 3 times (kinda the forth one too). Lately it's been cautious optimism, hopefully some of our kids become star players someday.

Love this channel - I am a Flyers fan. When your channel was in the early days (and I was younger), I felt like you were always anti-Flyers, which pushed me away from your videos. Since then, I have grown into an adult, and your videos have continually improved. So happy this channel exists, keep it up Shannon :)

This is an interesting thought experiment. As an Avalanche fan I have only really hated two teams, both of which I don't hate anymore. Detroit for obvious reasons and Vancouver just for one player and incident. Now I find usually it's specific players I like or hate more than teams.

Whalers and Canes fan here, completely agree with preferring the blue jerseys over the green.

Great content...I appreciate the genuineness in your video. I do like how you normailze the ebb and flow of fandom, too.

Also your point about getting jerseys is so poignant. From Pittsburgh, black and yellow is my blood. But when I started playing EA and 2K, and collecting cards, I fell in love with LA and SJ before I knew they were rivals in the early 2000s. Then moving to Vegas in their first year I had to follow them too. Four teams, three are heated rivals. Makes it a lot of fun wearing Sharks/Kings jerseys to T Mobile lol. Hockey is just the best!

Love you Shannon never stop making vids

As an avs fan who hates the stars, I love your content and watch it everyday. Thanks for your hard work.

that sodacan brings back memories

You can hate on my Red Wings all day (I do same with Avs, for obvious reasons) but I (almost always) love my daily THG post. Thanks again for another entertaining post.

That Buddy Christ jersey is awesome, where can I get that?

THE CAN! Throwback! Love it

Loved you comment on Dan Cloutier vs the Red Wings 😂. Yup, I lost my mind over that goal too!

OMG I love Dogma! Did a paper on the film for my undergrad in The Bible As Lit. class!!!

Love the buddy Christ sweater!!!!!

Love to see the pop can being opened again!

The soda can opener is a keeper.....loved it.

David Volek answered your prayers in 93. That Pens team was probably the best Mario team, Volek slayed the RoboPenguin.

I'd like a video of teams that were so dominant they created rule changes. The Habs from the 50's or Oilers from the 80's.., etc.

I share the same sentiments about Seattle. They're the team that Vegas was *supposed* to be. Start as underdogs, start off with some losing (maybe the odd round win here and there) and build towards a Cup contender over 5-6 years. Though like Vegas, Seattle has some loveable players out of the gate, like McCann, Tanev, etc. I have a soft spot towards this team, and hope they do well! Great video THG.

As a sens fan my entire life i been so passionate about the team and extremely resentful towards management

lol when you said 5 by 5 i thought to myself "ha, just like faith used to say" and then you mentioned that. love a good buffy reference. what is this, a crossover episode?? i've watched your videos on and off for years but you're quickly becoming one of my favourite people to watch in hockey

You have some really nice checkmarks in there. I love the aesthetic of a truly great checkmark, that very first one on the Kings is a beaut.

Nordiques Fan since 1981, still and always an Avs Fan💪🏻

Coming to say the pens are definitely in the top 3 most hated. Love the content THG lol 😅😁

Saw my first professional hockey game at 11 years old in 1965, the St. Louis Braves of the CHL. They were a Blackhawks farm club. Phil Espo played for the Braves as a young kid. Didn’t know much about hockey, but the red Indian head sweaters (same as the Blackhawks) were really cool. So even as a St. Louisan, I’ve always had a semi-allegiance to the Hawks. Then 2 years later, the big NHL expansion from 6 to 12 teams, and the Blues were the hottest ticket in town - even more than the baseball Cardinals. Became a passionate Blues fan. Later moved to Ohio, where nobody followed hockey, and the only hockey I could get was scratchy radio broadcasts from Chicago and occasional cable network NHL games, often with the Hawks. So I rekindled my fandom for the Hawks. Then job change put me into Chicago and I got part share season tix to Chicago Stadium. So I’m one of those rare birds who root for both the Blues and the Hawks. How about when they play each other? I tend to favor the Blues of course, since they were the first team I really followed passionately. But in years where the Blues stink and the Hawks have playoff aspirations, I’ll switch and root for Chicago. “House Divided!” 😝

That opening took me back to years ago :D

Interesting topic to hear

Thank you for the video. How did you feel about California Golden Seals/Oakland Seals?

This video is awesome Thanks

I couldn't really hate the Colorado Avalanche when they won their first Stanley Cup, because Joe Sakic had played junior hockey for my hometown Swift Current Broncos.

Dang. For a team you aren't a huge fan of, your coverage of Flyers hockey is really good. That's really a great quality that this channel has. 360° Really good stuff.

Shannon made Hockey year around. Can't wait for September.

Love the Faith/Buffy reference. We’re due to watch that and Angel again.

I need that jersey

Opening a soda can best raw sound out there or one of em😂

That has to be the BEST 🔥🔥 jersey I have ever seen!! Love Dogma!!!

Can you do a video about your history with hockey (year started, fav players, best po series etc.) since childhood? :)

Great opening!

First started watching hockey during the 1967 expansion when CBS got the broadcast rights here in the States. Been a Montreal fan ever since. Some titanic playoff series with Boston over the years.

cracking that cold one was a power move

Where did you get that Jersey, I love it

I got the buddy Christ jersey as well. Are you going to get the 2.0 version?

The buddy Christ jersey. Awesome

Love the jersey, my dad has the same one :)

I’m a massive fan of the Jonestown Jesus Freaks too Shannon!

Minnesota, the only state/province where our sports teams could be hated for being boring. Not all of us instantly adopted the Wild in 2000. Lots of sad North Stars fans that couldn't get into the new team. I didn't force fandom on myself and it took several seasons before even caring about the Wild.

Perfect jersey for this

Amazing jersey

Loved the Pizza Pizza advertisement !😊

I loved the north stars as a boy. Used to listen to their games on the radio after I was sent to bed.

That jersey is crazy

Came for the hockey knowledge but loved the Britney Spears roasting.

the one place i can feel at home liking multiple teams in a sport. never understood why this upset people so much, sports is literally there for entertainment, and i get the most entertainment out of a sport following multiple teams

Shannon, always wondered, would you say that as you have come to expand your viewing of the league and have come to have more balanced outlooks on other teams, including straight rivals of teams you like, would you say that expanding same said coverage to an extent away from the canucks some, the counter effect has happened and you have found yourself not necessarily hating the canucks ofcourse, but found yourself feeling less attached somewhat to them?

Pop can... things about to get real

That buddyChrist jersy is awsome

Love the buddy Christ jursey. Kevin Smith would be proud

In the off-season when you have time, could you do a video on how the San Jose Sharks weren’t really an expansion team?

Growing up Montreal fan , i still cheered for Tor, unless they were playing each other Borje Salming was one of my favs probably one of my Mt Rushmore players. But i understand the media( and fans too) can temper or hone the likeabilty/hatred of the team. Doesnt affect my like of team, but yes you have 1/2 hour of Cdn hockey teams, spend 15 mins on Tor, few minutes on the next few Cdn teams, barely talking about some of the teams before back to finsh with 10 mins of leafs talk🙄 And there have been years where leafs were the worst/mediocre team, out of playoff run, number of other Cdn teams playing so well , thick of chasing playoff spot. Same formula/coverage

I was in kindergarten in central New York and picked the Nordiques as my favorite team. Only lasted one year but I stuck with the team and now a day one Avs fan. Teams I’ve hated are Red Wings, Devils, Wild, Flyers

Living in Connecticut ive only ever met a ducks fan once and i felt like i was on a safari looking at some rare animal.

Sometimes it's amazing how quickly a team can change from hate to love or vice versa Case in point early years Huge Montreal fan, ..... Vancouver thought they had the stupidest jersey, a hockey rink...pffft... now I love that Jersey. Montreal fan with Atlanta flames, which grew when they moved to Calgary.esp later on moved to Calgary Mentioned Joel Otto 😅, I had cheered Van in 82 run Now such a harsh fought match that I flowed from utter dislike to admiration of Van in the series. Harold Snepts also flowed in that same vein😅. Very similar thing happened when Cheering Van who lost to the wild, equally frustrating Willie Mitchell who also because of the series became enamored with...later joining Van 😅 Sometimes players or playoff runs changes on perception. Canada Cup or Russia vs Canada series or Russia vs NHL teams, would also change one's opinion of players or teams.

Well I thought that was all super fair and honest. Some love/hate...some hate/hate..We all have these emotions.. ..Wanna hug it out?

Yeah! The soda can! Man, brings me back all those 6 years ago haha. Also, buddy christ!

I’ve hated the flyers too but I can’t stop loving them

Alains morrisette was the debbie gibson of pop in the 90s in Canada hockeyguy

You & Yvonne seen "Mallrats"; I think I've seen "Dogma", but it's been many, many moons ago!

What about when Bourque went to the Avs to win a cup? Did you like that or hate that, being a Bruins fan and all?

Tbh I missed the soda can opening 😂

lets be honest, Shannon loves every team out there.

15:55 Lmao 😂💀

Without even hitting "play"... I just need this jersey.

That was a heartbreaker series for Vancouver in 02, but don't worry redwings fans love you.

Im so happy to have you in my life and that you make me think there is good Canadian people. All the things that has happened with Canadians in Sweden has sadly giving me a bad view of the people.

Nailed it on TML for reasons to hate in Canada. No love here though. Love the videos Shannon.

Where did you get that Buddy Christ jersey? I need one as someone who is a passionate fan of the movie and has visited many of the filming locations.

Did you rank the divisions? :)

As a Devils Fan I hate the Rangers and Penguins I liked the Islanders though

This subject is Shannon’s highest viewed video I can see why he’s doing it again , good shit tho

Ottawa valley represent

I like the Wings that is it. Been a fan since Gordie been up and down but I ride with that same with the Lion's . Still I appreciate your opinion.

Soda can opening!!! Is this a recommended video from 2016??

"I loved Montreal" - Words that I thought you would never utter!

no way he brought the soda can back 😂🤣

Damn the soda what a tb 💀😂

More love than hate.. Whew!

I love this video and your honesty, but I have to disagree with your view about Vegas. You said they haven't had any growing pains or hardships, any fan that was around with the Marc-Andre Fleury trade knows hurt, but also you need to remember how Vegas started they're very first franchise game...they were having to deal with the Vegas shooting and they had a lot riding on the outcome of game one and the inaugural season. Thanks for your awesome work!

I would love to hear you talk about GTA

Vancouver, Boston, Dallas and Ottawa? I cheer for Edmonton, Montreal and anyone playing the Leafs.

I think your feeling on CBJ is universal (fans included). Nothing to hate (unless you have a phobia related to cannons) but nothing notable enough to get super excited for. They’re just…there.

I loved the Ducks going back to that first year. I remember that first year with Paul Kariya, who is from the Vancouver area. I was in Anaheim at the Disneyland Hotel in January, right before the earthquake, and I remember watching a local broadcast of a Ducks game with Tinkerbell and being 11 years old, I still thought Disney was kind of cool. Roger Rabbit was one of my favourite movies (and man, does that movie ever hold up). I remember having those giant breakfast burritos at the Monorail Cafe. I soured a bit on the Ducks around the time Burke went there and those players pretty much fell into their lap. But I still like the city (even though I can’t stand hot weather physically) and I never met a nasty person there. You guys do decent angel hair pasta, too.

This Jolts for you⚡
