Reviewing Canucks vs Oilers Game Three 

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

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

Hey THG, I don't usually comment on RU-vid 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.

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!

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

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.

Canucks PK came up huge when it mattered tonight.

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

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 💪

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! 🇱🇻

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.

That hit on Kane was awesome

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This series is making me hate Edmonton more than Calgary LOL

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I appreciate your professional approach

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

My body is ready for the Canucks Stars preview

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 😎

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.

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.

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.

King Silovs

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...

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...

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

King Richard bequeaths you the title King Silovs.

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

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!

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

Thank you for all you do for us

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

I said to someone on Facebook after the non call on McDavid for his slash to Hughes's face. It wasn't by accident, he was looking right at him. The refs didn't miss it, the puck and the play were right there. For whatever reason the officials wouldn't even discuss it. I said "do you think any Canuck player will get away with it when they do it to Conny Mcdavy? No way. You're not allowed to hurt the golden boy.

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

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

Worth pointing out Aman wasn't part of the Black Aces callups for the playoffs. He started the season in Abbotsford with one game left on his waiver exemption. They called him up mid-season after a very strong showing in Abby, and they immediately give him a 2-year one-way extension, and he hasn't left the team since. Needless to say, he got his promotion at that point and he's been a solid 13F ever since.

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

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

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

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

Shannon… I don’t know if i’m the first or the last person to tell you this but… f the haters!!! Or anyone else that says you whine about refs, you should say whatever you feel like the calls were during the game. Keep up the good work!

Love the ongoing story of Abbostford’s Goalie!

LETS GO CANUCKS

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

Great recap .

Latvia 🇱🇻 Legend😊

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!

Shannon dont let the comments get to you. You made a great point the other night, if everything is called, there is gonna be 20 penalties a game. Every game has a dynamic standard of whats acceptable, and what is not.

Silovs has been amazing to watch. Demko being out is obviously a bad thing but at least it’s given Silovs the opportunity to shine

I think tonight was more an issue of Canucks tactics with the lead then anything. Canucks may have had their best first period of the playoffs. The issues started when Vancouver got that 2 goal lead. They've done that all year. They get up 2 or more goals and then they lay back and protect the lead. They generated next to nothing in that second and were rescued by that late second period pp goal and Silovs. They still won but I think they made it so much harder on themselves. They were doing such a great job generating in the first period. That turtle technique works on most teams but is suicide against the Oilers on most nights and likely cost them game 2

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

You are the man Shannon. Don't listen to haters. You are a star to us.

You keep doing you! Who cares what the naysayers are commenting. We know you're a real Hockey fan, and thank you for entertaining us with your objective reviews!
