Which Games Caused THG to Rage the Most Over the Years? 

I’m shocked you didn’t add the 2 goals Chicago scored in 17 seconds in Boston to win the Stanley cup

“I worked that night, I didn’t see that game. I wasn’t surprised.” Shannon’s classic delivery.

This is why I still love this this platform. A middle-aged man raging about 30 year old hockey games with a cat sleeping in the background. Flames/Lightning game 6 better be on here Shannon!

I'm 55, and was a Bobby Orr era Bruins fan. There is literally no scenario where I would feel comfortable with Boston playing Montreal. None. If Boston was 81-0 and Montreal was 0-81, I'd assume Guy LaFleur would somehow score from beyond the grave to put game 82 away. Fair to say I'm scarred from the 70s & 80s era.

So moral of the story is Boston angers THG. They either lose in epic fashion or win the only time THG ddnt want them to. Respect to you Shannon for staying a fan of your teams!

I am surprised learning that this man can feel and express anger

Surprised you didn’t mention Chicago’s 17 seconds against Boston! What a wonderful video.

Bruins choking the lead and then the game in 17 seconds, in elimination game 6 with less then 2 minutes in the 3rd period in 2013 didn’t make you rage?

As a Seattle fan, one game that made me rage was the 7-2 loss to Edmonton at home last December where Edmonton scored 4 goals in the first 10 minutes that basically ended the contest.

I'm very surprised you didn't add Boston's epic game 7 collapse against Philly. Up 3-0 in the series and 3-0 in the game, only to lose! Boston has been a great team over the last decade but they surely can choke just as well as any other team.

As a Leafs fan half of my rage inducing games also involve the Bruins 😂

Very surprised 2002 Game 3 Det at Van, Lidstrom's center ice goal on Cloutier isnt here. Canucks up 2 games to 0, with a chance to go up 3 on THAT Red Wings team. As a fan of both teams, thrilled that I, living in Seattle, was able to get tickets for games 3, 4 and 6. As a Wings fan, I was happy/relieved, but I also covered my mouth and silently said an "oh nooooo!" for the Canucks.

As a Canucks fan i already knew what would be Shannon's number one rage quit game. Lol. Us Canuck fans all raged quit during that series.

Shannon is better at fitting information on a board than any college professor or teacher I ever had.

About the Van-Min game in 2003, when Vancouver went up 2-0 in game 7, Todd Bertuzzi said "It's over, go home" to the Minnesota bench. The Wild would proceed to score 4 straight and win the game

I’ve only been mad at one hokey game. Granted I only became a hockey fan last season. That would be game one of the canes panthers series. Like dude I stayed up for that entire time to see the canes lose.

Game 6 of the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals.

I was angry every time NJ won in that era. I hated the trap so much.

Hey shannon, habs fan here, And yes yes we do love this list

It has to be said, what other RU-vidr comes up with three or four videos a day on your feed during the off season but Mr. Guy? And I believe it when other RU-vidrs talk (don't wanna say whine) about how much time and energy goes into these videos, I have absolutely no doubt that this is true. All hail Mr. Hockey Guy! The iron man of the interweb!

I have never raged quite as hard as I did in 2019, Blues vs Sharks game 3. I was screaming hand pass at the top of my lungs. Watching that puck go in after a hand pass sent me over the edge. I was convinced for a night that the NHL was stacking the deck against my Blues. My anger quelled when the Blues won the next 3 games and then eventually the Cup. But that one night after game 3, I don’t think I’ve ever been that mad over sports. I honestly considered never watching hockey again.

Good content. As a VGK fan my worst game was the collapse against the Sharks in game 7 lol. Took me a long time to give credit where it was due. Losing game 5 to the Caps is a close 2nd

Now do a list of some of your favorite games of all time!

Quite surprised the reverse sweep against the Flyers didn't make the cut.

Oh this is going to be fun

As a Montreal fan: I love this list! So much fun!

As an Habs fan, I do like to revisit Mtl's wins over Boston

As an Oilers fan my most rage inducing game were: - 1986 Edm vs Calgary game 7 - 2006 Edm vs Carolina game 1 - 2017 Edm vs Anaheim game 5 - 1982 Edm vs LA game 3

Wasn't it in 2014 that Boston lost in 7 in round 2 against Mtl? I don't think they met in the 2015 playoffs

Bob Cole, from 1990 game 1, "Over the line, McTavish and Kurri, Klima steps up, he's in, shoot, score!!"

In other news... Hurricanes did a 20 year extension at their arena in Raleigh. This should shut people up for good who say it's a franchise in a doomed market when reality is the exact opposite. The team isn't going back to Hartford and there is WAAAY too much money to be made in Raleigh for them to even consider leaving ...

I remember Game 7 in 2008 between Montreal and Boston and I was shocked with what the Kostitsyn brothers did to the Bruins

Great list. I've never raged at an NHL game. The only game that fits this category for me was a high school game int he Minnesota Boys High School tournament in 1977. I learned to accept a loss gracefully.

"I was pretty choked" there is not one phrase that is better for confirming you live in BC than that. Except maybe saying that you're "hooped" 😂

In 2011, Alain Vigneault should have pulled Luongo earlier to WAKE UP the Canucks in those games. Vigneault used to drive me crazy that playoff year. He'd only pull Luongo WHEN the game was FAR out of reach - and everyone could see that the Bruins were in Luongo's head at the START of the game. Team psychology is a huge disadvantage when your team & goalie aren't at their best. Canucks needed to act early - and Vigneault would NEVER quickly yank Luongo & put in Schneider. ARGH!!! Still angry at the missed opportunity.

Florida game 7 Boston was a heart break watching Bergeron hug his team mates at the end of the game I’m not a bruin fan at all but he was one of the best it was hard to watch

This may be therapeutic for THG, but it is a *sheer delight* for me--- Yes, I am from Montreal.

This was my first season closely following the NHL and it's good to know that the Stars have a time honored tradition of bad luck in game 6's

Whomever lost the Easter epic was gonna feel that way! Will never forget that game I shoveled snow in April!

The game 5 Panthers vs Bruins comments 😂. Great video! (But btw, Canadiens vs. Bruins 3-1 was 2014, not 2015)

Greetings to ya! Coming from a fan of your videos who's formerly hailing from 'Corbould St.' in Chilliwack, and now from McCallum Rd. in Abbotsford. Keep up the great work... You're the best RU-vidr in the Wack/Abby/Lower Mainland! (and I'm not just saying that, because I know of no others!) I Can always count on a valuable, or thought provoking opinion, perspective, or commentary on hockey! Thanks!

For most younger Leafs fans it was the endings in 1993 and when Sundin already had plans to go on vacation days before they were eliminated from the playoffs.

Great video from a great fan of the game.

I’m surprised that game 3 Wings v Canucks in 2002 wasn’t on the list

As a sharks fan that 2014 kings series made me so sad and mad

Hehe, I had the best wing night of my LIFE watching St. Louis win against Boston in 2019. So good.

Kelly Hrudey makes 73 saves on the way to one of the greatest individual efforts in NHL playoff history and you are pitching a fit...my mouth was still hanging open 20 minutes after the game ended.😊

#13 NJ vs DAL, I didn’t throw anything, but I do distinctly remember putting my hands on my forehead and kneeling in a corner. That one stung

Surprised no 2010 game 7 flyers at bruins

I loved this video! Rage on Shannon! I hope you live stream you watching the next Montreal in Boston game seven. Please oh please lord make this happen.

Ugh Shannon you brought back the 2011 cup demons into my head…still enrages me

I was at game six Canucks v Boston in the Stanley Cup Final as a Vancouverite. Drove all the way from BC rocking BC plates in Boston as a young 20 year old. Bought a ticket off of a scalper wearing a 70's Orr sweater for 680$ USD. Wearing my Bertuzzi jersey alone in that crowd was intimidating to say the least.

The Game 7 losses against St Louis and Florida were the absolute lowest I've ever felt as a Bruins fan and sports fan in general

Surprised the lidstrom slapper goal wasn't here lol

I was expecting here Red Wings @ Canucks when Lidstrom goal from the center ice.

I actually got to go to that Islanders-Canucks game and I was rooting for the Islanders, but instead of rage inducing I felt kind of sad about it because I always liked Snepsts and he ended up being the goat. When Randy Carlyle got caught in a similar situation in an earlier round that year vs. the Islanders I didn't feel bad because it was Randy Carlyle, but who didn't love poor Harold Snepsts?

Yes Shannon, you are right, I love this list. Go Habs Go !

"It's usually a hat or something small because i dont want to break anything" Thats me lol. "This video should work for fans of the channel or people who dont like me so it works for everybody" Your great Shannon 😂 I know everybody has their opinions but i struggle with why a general fan of hockey wouldnt like your content. Alway a pleasure when you upload. I catch atleast 1-2 of your daily 3-5 uploads. You carry the hockey community on youtube HARD!!!! As always much love and keep up the great work friend. P.S. i couldnt relay to the Locked On Wild comments because RU-vid keeps taking down my comment with your work email so it's in both of your courts now 🤷‍♂️

R.I.P. Petr Klima I can only imagine what THG's reaction was when Florida tied Game 7. I wonder what @SteveDangle list would be? Haha

Number 7 was actually in 2014. Also Boston was up 3 game to 1 in 2004 but lost

Just a correction that the Montreal 3-1 win over Boston happened in the 2014 playoffs and not 2015

i am curious about a regular season version of this :)

That 2011 Vancouver run was so hard to watch die in the finals (especially as someone who hates the Bruins). Only run I'd say is more painful was when San Jose went to the finals vs. Pittsburgh - love both teams but I'd happily have given '16 to the Sharks and let the Pens keep '17

I’m utterly astonished that 2002 Game 3 vs Detroit wasn’t up there.

The 2011 Canucks, bruins final was the most frustrating series for me. After game five, I remember saying out loud, the Canucks are going to loose.

Will we have a complementary list video like "Which Games Caused THG to Happydance the Most Over the Years?" ?

I'm genuinely surprised that the game 7 between Dallas and St. Louis in 2019 where Otter stood on his head did not make an appearance.

I would have liked to known the years of each of those matchups. But awesome stuff! Mahalo!

As a Montreal fan, I’m proud that the habs make up 4 out of your top 10 spots.

2011 SCF for me. I hated boston and was a huge luongo Fan.

Toronto losing to Montreal was priceless!

There’s a hole in the wall the size of a can of beer in my old apartment that was created when Derek Stepan scored the Game 7 OT GWG in 2015. I never thought the Caps would win a Cup, it just seemed like we were doomed. The next two years didn’t help either.

I was on vacation in Boston during that series against Vancouver. Was in the train station that connects to the arena watching the game at a bar. Kind of made me a Boston fan. They'll never eclipse my Devils fandom but it's interesting how a chance moment can make you like something (in this case a team).

The games I get most pissed about have always been when the games get dirty. Punches to downed opponents, hits into open doors, two handed swings on players, using the skate blades in any way to injure. Disregarding injured players and scuffling guys' skates right around their passed out faces. Fans throwing shiz on players. All that stuff boils my blood to no end.

As you put van/isles on the board, I imagine you put van/rangers!? Van should have won that series!

Gotta put my vote in for... ---------------------------------------------- April 19, 2004 1st. Round - CGY vs. VAN - Game 7 This game made me lose it, because of the damn roller-coaster of emotions in this series.. Going from feeling hyped after being the eighth seed, and managing to trade games early on, Sinking after CGY wins games 4, and 5 handily. Then some faint glimmer of hope returns after VAN has a long fought 3OT game 6 win. Jump forward with the nerve-wracking game 7, now in the dying seconds of the 3rd period and the feelings of complete resignation have fully set in as CGY is leading 2 - 1. Then (right after Jovanovski took a penalty that will at no point be consequential... don't even worry) Like a captain possessed and pure clutch... Naslund scores with 5 or so seconds left to tie the game, and force OT... Having just had it blown off, my house was in need of roof repair! Throughout the entire 20 min. intermission, we are all positively buzzing, practically planning (miles away from reality at this point) the Stanley Cup Parade Route!! OT Starts... Let me tell ya... My psyche (after the series long emotional Yo-Yoing) fell from those heady heights pretty abruptly when at only... one and half minutes into OT (remember that "inconsequential" Jovo penalty...) Martin Gelinas scored a power play goal to (if I'm being honest) mercifully end things for us fans. I hope a remembered things accurately....

game 7s man....yeah...the most frustrating rage inducing game for me as a Ducks fan was vs LA, 2014, game 7....just what a horrible showing from the ducks and against LA!!

Joel Otto getting away with kicking puck was a disgrace but sweet revenge with Pavel Bure's Game 7 winner sealing a 3-1 comeback

Being slightly older than Shannon I was surprised the Habs massive upset win over Bruins in ‘84, backstopped by Steve Penney, didn’t make the list.

As a Leafs fan, my THG Florida @ Boston game 5 moment was Montreal @ Toronto game 5. I knew Montreal was coming back in that series. I just knew Toronto didn't have it. So, I wasn't very surprised when they lost game 6 and 7. Also, when Toronto lost to Boston in game 7 in 2013, my parents let me stay home from school the next day.

Great List!

Totally understand what you mean when saying you get nervous after 6 straight home wins and the team you cheer for has home ice advantage in game 7. I got the same feeling in the Swedish playoffs of 2021/22 where this actually happened. Six straight home wins in the final, only for my team to lose game 7 at home, not scoring (0-3) as well. While I "knew"/feared it would happen, it totally crushed my spirit....

2000 First round game 7 SJ at StL still hurts today

MTL 3-1 Game 7 win vs BOS was in 2014 Round 2. In 2015 they beat the Sens in 6 in Round 1 and then they lost to Tampa in 6 in Round 2.

Edm vs Boston Triple overtime 1990... will never forget it. the game is burnt into my mind, my therapist prob wont forget it either, ive only brought it up a million times

Man your number 11 might be the best moment of my life 😅

For the North stars and the Penguins game, it was, as we say over here, a case of the North stars shitting the bed, they shit the bed in that game.

I remember 2, 4, and 16. Great moments in my opinion.

How did you not have any 02 Canucks vs red wings? I’d imagine you were probably losing your mind watching that series and or games.

I'm surprised to not see the stars Vs Knights game in the list

that 2011 game 7 between the habs and boston ending in OT still leaves a sour taste in my mouth, they should have won that easily.

I still feel that Vancouver was doomed in 2011 once Hamhuis got injured. Felt like the defence imploded after that.

The duality of man! ❤

Montreal living in THG’s head rent free, see you next time Vancouver are making the finale Youpi said.

Game 81 for the Pens this year. All we had to do was beat Chicago… I’ve never been more disappointed in my life.

great list! I want you to SEE Shannon rage

I totally agree with you for number 1😢! My husband took the day off to watch the game and ended up falling asleep in the third period

Wild vs Canucks game 7 in 2003 was brutal. I was like 15 it rocked my whole world.

My living room was full of people watching the Canucks lose game 7 to Boston back in 2011. When it was clear the Canucks were not going to win, my friend said “oh well. There’s always next year” ….sigh

I always find it interesting that Pittsburgh has won all five of their Stanley Cups while on the road.
