it’s hard to be unbiased in situations like this, mad respect.

Don’t worry about it man just keep doing you.

As a Blues fan I think you're incredibly objective and I dont think you deserve any negativity for being a fan and speaking your mind!

Diehard Blues fan here. Watched your review last night when it came up. I didnt comment or freak out with you not wearing the Blues Jersey. The silent majority just watches and enjoys your content. Keep going! LGB

As a blues fan, you didnt need to do this. True fandom can't be hidden forever, we understand. If I was a bruins fan I would have been pissed.

As a Blues fan, I respect you to death, Shannon. I understand your disappointment and frustration and appreciate your content and objective, unbiased, point of view. Keep it up, brotha!

Next time just wear a scuba suit, full mask. Explain nothing.

I'm a die-hard Bruins fan, I could care less whose Jersey you wear. As for the game, the Bruins had 3 periods to score more goals and didn't. The Bruins need to play harder, I'm not going to cry about calls, play better, score more and that's that.

Are all those people who made Shannon frustrated happy now? “Here’s a bloody Blues jersey.” Lol.

Just go shirtless, man. Teach 'em a lesson.

Shannon youre amazing. Know that 99% of your viewers appreciate you regardless

The downside of the channel growing. Welcome new subs! This is a civil channel, folks. Let’s keep it that way!

You put out the best hockey content on youtube ... Keep going

Buddy ur content is great dont change or conform for anybody!!! Ur a fan first and foremost!!! Ur honest and thoughtful. So ignore the hate buddy!!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Oh come on. Other Blues fans should just know that Shannon is a Bruins fan. I’m a Blues fan, but I do not blame you for having an allegiance to your team. You’ve called this series perfectly down the middle. You’ve never lost your objectivity, and you’re allowed to be a fan. I can’t imagine myself putting on a Boston jersey if the situation was reversed. You’re allowed to be a fan, Shannon. You’ve done an incredible job at staying objective. You should wear whatever you want to wear.

Shannon didn't have to do this... I was ok about the last video I got it and total get it... I just didn t say anything last night because I wanted to give you your space... Shannon just do you!!!

You’re possibly the nicest, most well spoken guy I’ve seen making these types of videos. It’s a disgrace that people leave those types of comments here.

Understand why you didnt wear the jersey, and Im a Blues fan. Keep it up. Love the program.

Shout out to Shannon for looking out for the kids. You're a real man my dude.

Mr. Hockey Guy, I am a disabled veteran from St. Louis, MO. I almost NEVER comment on KZfaq. I am a lifelong blues fan (It has been a horrid 49 years). I absolutely love your channel, having just found it right around the time the blues were in last place (Dec - Jan). I watched every single video you made. I know you are not a STL fan, the Dallas series showed that. I completely understood your reasoning for not wearing a jersey, the trip was absolutely a penalty. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! Sometimes the 'hockey gods' take and sometime they give. In game 3 of the STL vs. SJ series, a hand pass literally cost the blues the game. The gods took away. Then, tonite, they gave back. That is hockey. You did the right thing tonite. Lets not forget, The Boston Red Sox ended a 85+ year drought by beating the St. Louis Cardinals......That hurt. Its only fair that the STL Blues end their 53 yr drought against Boston, maybe. The playoffs are not over, but I will be one of the thousands of ppl outside the Enterprise Center on Sunday. You have an awesome channel and thank you for your dedication. ------- 1 hockey fan 2 another.

Shannon, you do you! It's your channel. Do what you want. Thanks for being a good sport and unbiased about everything. Keep up the good work!

You could wear a Barney costume in all of your videos, I would still watch.

Your videos are one of the reason I got back into hockey. Objective reviews, no bias towards specific teams, great content! Keep it up.

As a hockey starved Canadian living and working in the U.K., I would like to thank you for your great channel and unbiased work. Also, can we all just take a moment to give thanks that we didn’t get drawn into that unholy pile of crap of a black hole that is known as soccer. Hockey Never Dies. Thank you man, you’re doing a great job.

Honestly Shannon do what u want to do, I love ur content, one of the best content on You tube

I’m a Blues fan. I don’t see the big deal, it’s your channel. I think all of your videos, including the one you just made, have been very informative, with little bias. Glad I found your channel, it’s helped me get more immersed in the playoffs than I’ve ever been before.

As a blues fan, I hate that it ended the way it did. Not mad at you, at all, for calling it as you (and everyone else) saw it. Your videos are something I look forward to and I think you are amazing. Keep up the good work. Let’s go blues!

You doing you is the reason you're approaching 100K. Keep it up. The best "down the middle" analysis of hockey I have seen to date.

Shannon, as a Blues fan, I know you're a human being and I could imagine how you were feeling.

Nonsense, the first review was great! You did a great job keeping your cool and staying professional. I wouldn't have been able to if it was my team. Keep up the great work!!!

I’m a sharks fan, and it felt weird to see you not wear a Blues jersey. Thanks for the explanation. Your channel has probably the best hockey channel out there. Good job

I hardly comment on here, or even on KZfaq for that matter. But Shannon your videos are superb. Continue wearing those jerseys of your choice and do what you've been doing. I love your channel, and I like the fact you're a non-biased fan when you do your reviews.

Im for the blues , you shouldn't really worry about what Jersey you wear. Thank for the extra post but you did not have too.

lol considering how consistent you've been for years, don't sweat it too much, we're all fans of teams here, we understand. You've been giving us the coverage we need while ESPN spends 2 hours talking about Kevin Durant's calf strain.

Blues have one of the best uniforms/colors in NHL.

People are cowards. They feel so good sitting behind their computer screen/smartphone. People are shitty. Not all, but most in my experience.

The fact people are complaining about what jersey you wear in your videos is absolutely pathetic. Do whatever you want Shannon it’s your channel and your content will continue to be fantastic no matter what

I haven't even finished the other video, but this is amazing😂 (Someone go give Shannon a hug please, he needs it)

It IS a sharp-looking jersey.

The fact that you have to deal with the rude people and those who are vulgar in the comments in order to make the overall experience for the rest of us that much better shows that you are a true professional in what you do with this channel.

Hey Shannon..Blues fans over here love the channel..keep entertaining us with the NHL commentary..and Let's Go BLUUUUUUUES!

Man that's frustrating. Sorry you have to put up with it, Shannon. Content is great, and you do an impressive job of keeping your objectivity.

1k away from 100k! Congratulations shannon! Been watching since around 15k subscribers. You deserve it man. Humble is the word that comes to mind. If you guys ever come to Colorado I'll buy your Avs tickets!!

Binnington was the better team tonight. Respect to you, always. Keep it up!

😂 I’ll be honest, I didn’t know comments were filtered out, and always wondered what you were talking about with the negativity. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Enjoyed the videos keep it up. Keep banning the toxic people.

Sorry you have to deal with all of these toxic comments, Shannon. For all the work and effort you put in on a daily basis, you really deserve more from your viewers. You are truly objective and unbiased despite peoples’ claims. Keep up the good work and for providing us with the best hockey coverage out there!

Just found your channel the other week, the content I’ve seen has been great you have a great way of analyzing hockey and picking out details from games, you’ve seemed pretty dang impartial on your reviews. I’ll be sticking around for more!

Im here for the content Shannon! I could care less what jersey you wear. My blues won and you wore the hat that was respect enough. Keep doing what you are doing my friend!

Blues fan here, I really enjoy your content. I think you do a great job of being objective towards both sides on this (I can't say that I would be able to do the same). I admit to being a little bit chuffed when I didn't see you wear the jersey but I totally understood why when you explained in the first video. We've all had those "rip your heart out" moments as fans of any team. Just keep doing what you are doing. I love the channel and look forward to all your videos. Thank you!

Man, we all know you are a Vancouver, Boston, and Dallas fan. I been watching your videos since you had less than 5,000 subscribers and the one thing I can say about your videos (besides they're awesome) is you are fair! It's one of the main reasons why I watch you. Thank you for that Shannon.

Every time I see Shannon has to make one of these "explain myself" videos I get mad at those people. But I also feel the bond with him and the whole community getting stronger. I would've said that you don't need to do those videos, but I won't... just keep doing EVERYTHING you have been doing the way you see it! You are the best!

You're the best, Hockey Guy. Such great content and you're always so even-keeled and fair. Keep it up! I'm watching and subbed.

Shannon, it is your channel. Love your videos. You do you, man. We come to watch you. Not to watch what a bunch of whiners want you to do.

Almost 100K! Love your content!

STL Blues fan. Found your channel at the start of the playoffs and now watch after every game. Love the show man. Keep it up (Blues jersey or not good show) :)

Dude you're the best dont listen to the crap people post. You're consistently the most UN-biased hockey guy out there. THG is the gold standard for how a presenter should be

Love your videos mate! All the way from down here in Australia, you keep it as non-bias as possible when it needs to be but then put emotion and opinion in to give it your own personal spin. You’ve done a great review tonight and great coverage of these playoffs. Appreciate it

Dear Shannon, I can’t stand up in front of a camera and do what you do. I can’t even see myself wearing any other jersey than a wings jersey. So I appreciate what you do so much, and I always look forward to the jersey you wear! Thank you Shannon keep on doing what you are doing and we will follow! Thank you!

Shannon is experiencing the unstoppable transition that comes with the territory. That transition being that he is going from being fan to becoming a professional. Your channel has reached the volumes of followers that you are officially a legitimate and serious provider of hockey insight and coverage. Being totally honest with you, I come to your channel pretty much for 95% of my hockey news and coverage and I am in the New York market as a Rangers fan. That is how good your channel is. Point being, you don't need to explain yourself with these types of videos anymore. You have graduated to the next level, and truly, congratulations on achieving that!

Honestly I didn't mind you not wearing a Jersey. I understood. I love your videos. I mentioned you to the people I saw at bdubs. You are my go to source for the games. I look forward to your reviews and previews.

Wear a blues jersey with a Boston hat. Boom problem fixed😎

Shannon, I started watching hockey 2 years ago, live in South Florida and am proud to say I am a Panthers fan. No matter how terrible we look on some nights, I still love my team and still hope for the best. You have shown me that it is okay be a fan of an unpopular team and you have taught me an immense amount about the sport and learning the history of the sport. I love the previews, reviews, news, etc. Don't let a few toxic comments ruin your experience of these playoffs because honestly these playoffs have been unbelieveable and have left a lot of us breathless some nights. Seeing Columbus win a round, seeing Dallas beat Nashville, seeing Carolina make it to the Finals, Islanders sweep the Pens, man, this has been a damn good playoff year. Most of all, Boston has stayed composed through all of this and while they may be down 3-2 in the Finals, you have to be fair and give them credit for being where they are right now. It's been a good playoffs.

I collect sweaters/jerseys and wear all of them(have jerseys from different teams). Wear what you want.

Honestly, I think you would have gotten hate either way. It sucks but immature people feel the need to spew negativity over the littlest things. Just keep doing you and I'll watch all of your videos. Much love from STL.

Shannon, I don’t question your objectivity... anyone who is honest can see you truly care about... HOCKEY. The sport. You do a great job! Keep up the fantastic work!

These people are either new and don't understand why you do the things you do. They are definitely closed minded idiots and cry babies. You are a hard working son of a gun and keep up the amazing work.

I totally understand your position here Shannon. Keep going brother. Keep doing your thing!!!!

Keep doing you THG. You’re the best imo. Pens fan here if that makes a difference.

Shannon, your integrity is truly incredible. Can't think of too many other channels that want nothing more than to provide the best content possible, even if it means having to put personal feelings aside. Keep on with the best hockey/sports channel on KZfaq.

Screw the haters. You keep it real and I respect that. Great content

Love you Shannon, don’t let idiots on the internet get you down and keep doing you, you’re the best hockey channel out there

I come for the reviews, breakdowns of teams and games, and stat updates and analysis, I stay for all of that AND the complementary jerseys you wear for each video! It inspired me,m to start my own collection! Forget the noise My guy, keep it up!

Thanks Shannon Love these vids!!

Nothing but respect for you! I love how you try to stay objective. I have friends playing on both teams so I'm conflicted but I grew up a bruins fan. You do a great job with analysis and discussion and your love of the game is what makes it so good. You've made the playoffs more enjoyable for me. Thank you.

Blues fan here, love the content Shannon and I understand why you didn’t wear a jersey. Keep up the videos and congrats on (almost) 100k subs👍

You should look into hiring a part time moderator for your videos after big/controversial games, at least for the first couple hours after the upload. It might help with your blood pressure. Just a friendly suggestion.

Almost at 100k already u the goat fr homie

Shannon, I appreciate you taking the time to apologize but there was no need for that. all the rude people can shut up, they should have a say considering theyre not a real fan. Love you shannon, contrasts on (nearly) 100K!!!!!

6:55 I swear I thought he was gonna say it has me thinking that I’m not gonna wear a shirt in reviews next year 😂

You deserved better than this Shannon, it’s a damn shame this video had to be made -a b’s fan

With a rapidly growing channel comes overly passionate fans and very rude fans. It sadly is just part of the journey. This will never go away. Just keep your head high knowing you’re the best damn hockey source on the internet and we all love ya for everything you do.

Shannon you do you. We are lucky to be able to get your great content on a daily basis. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Man you’re so close to 100k! I’ve been here since that sub count wasn’t anything like that. Keep up the work that go you here, don’t listen to haters man

Idea: Just wear the statue of liberty jersey. Not a Rangers fan but love the jersey.

Sports fans are the worst. Edit: I'm also the dude who ranted for a good 20 minutes following the game I was so angry. So I guess I confirm my own statement.

I've am a blues fan and recently found your channel and really appreciate your takes. I have never thought you were biased. I love your videos, keep up your good work!

You are awesome. I admire your analysis and objectivity. Recently discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. You’re teaching, I’m learning, and you’re pursuing a passion. Keep up the great work and ignore the detractors.

Shannon, there's nothing you can do to keep the comments clean. It's really unfortunate but there will always be haters. Just ignore it and don't let it impact how you do your videos. Keep up the awesome work.

Dude no reason to apologize! I enjoyed the eclipse story. It was relevant. The hat was enough with the great story. If you going to make it on this platform please ignore the trolls. I enjoy what you do for us. Keep up the good work. Walk tall. Chase your passion. Keep it clean. In hockey and life.

I've been following this channel for a while now and the main reason is the sensible coverage that is free of the vitriol, idiocy and bile that even infects professional coverage. Keep up the great work Shannon.

I suppose these are some of the things that come with such quick growth of your subs. I hope that as these new guys stick around some more, they realize how even-handed you are. That's the whole reason I subscribed. It's hard to find channels that deal fairly with Blue Jackets, and I've always felt that you do. Keep up the good work. Beautiful jersey, by the way.

As I Hockey Guy fan, I am deeply hurt and scared forever that Shannon didn't wear a Hockey Guy T-shirt!

Love your unbiased and objective view. I CANNOT imagine how you push through the temptation to break that.

Shannon, I love your channels. You keep doing things your way, that's what makes your channels so good. Your channels are the only ones on KZfaq that I routinely comment on. The jerseys are awesome. As a hockey fan of almost 50 years, I love them .

I'm a HOCKEY fan who is from Stlouis, I just found your channel about a month ago and really like how honest and objective you are about the game. It was a missed call and I feel bad for Boston. Hopefully the NHL will fix this kind of problem next year. Hoping for a clean game 6. Keep up the good work and LGB!

As a blues fan, I don’t care what jersey you wear. If you make great content like this then I don’t care whatever shirt you wear mate.

Can we all just say that Red Sox / Cardinals World Series 2019 would just unleash Hell and Fury?

I wouldn't have this much high quality information and be able to talk about a sport a very small percentage of people in Scotland follow and love without this channel. This is my third final with the game and my second with you Shannon. Working in retail sports betting too I get the very rare opportunity to engage with a customer about the NHL and your content is completely invaluable to my conversations. Here's too 100K, much love.

Shannon I have just recently found your channel right at the beginning of the playoffs and I've been watching stuff that you've done prior, and you are by far one of the most impartial KZfaqrs when it comes to reviewing Sports. Don't let the haters get to you because you tell it like it is and you do it in a very respectable classy way
