Dont lie shannon u hate my team and my team exclusively
That’s funny, I thought he hated my favourite team exclusively
Both wrong. Definitely my team
well throughout the season it honestly felt like he hated my favorite team exclusively
nah he hates my team more
Without question he hates my favorite team most.
Shoutout to everyone else in the “my team is in 25-32 tier” club.
Must be nice to have won a Cup/Draft lottery recently
If this is the price of success......
IMO you don’t need to tell us who you root for. To me, a born and raised Detroit fan, I don’t care who you root for. You’re a fair and honest guy. I watch you for your insight, and pure love of the game of hockey. Let the haters hate. We, the fans love your opinions.
I remember when Shannon would make ranking videos just for people to get mad, it was a lot of fun. 😂 I like when Shannon stirs the pot sometimes but he has reasoning for most too
this comment sums it up perfectly for me. Avs fan from Finland
But he can if he wants to
Come on now, you must realize this is how he gets paid, by making content and you watching it. He knows you dont care he roots for....🤣
Well said.
Hockey is fun. Sports are fun.
Watching my favorite analyst share his feelings. Thats fun.
Shannon as soon as a team wins a cup “You have become everything I hate”
Sharks: *Doc Rivers face*
Colorado legitimately could face the Jets, Stars, Canucks and Bruins this year. I imagine if that happened they would be a forever 32.
My thoughts exactly hahaha
i thought the same..... lol
Yes.
No just the jets and stars
@@joeroganreal No, Colorado vs Vancouver can be in the WCF and Colorado vs Boston can be a SCF.
I am primarily a Sabres fan and over time have adopted the mindset of cheering for more than one team. Without that, I think I would have dropped hockey completely over the past 13 seasons lol
If your a hockey fan, you kind of have to do that. only 1 out of 32 teams can win a year. You are set for failure just by the odds each year.
Never cheer for more than 1 team. It's what bandwagon fans do, and you'll never be taken seriously. I'm a Stars fan so I know what it's like to be dissapointed in a team you supports' failure. I also cheer for the Bills in Football, so I can understand the misery and frustration one deals with on a yearly basis cheering for a team from Buffalo.
@@bigvanvader3122it’s a game kid relax 💀💀🤣🤣
@@coastingalong huh?
lets go buff a lo! lindy is back lfg. -ryan, williamsville native
Shannon is secretly a huge Vegas fan
He has said the Vegas expansion is what initially brought viewers to his channel so I feel like he does have a soft spot for them
He definitely has a soft spot I think, just given his past videos kinda laughing at all the hate towards them. Probably more of a love/hate type thing given the playoff history with the Stars and Canucks
@@JoshJoshJoshJoshJoshJoshua
Nobody hated on Vegas until they did Fleury like they did, then pulled a Tampa and used the LTIR loophole to make improvements other teams simply aren’t able to make (try luring needed pieces to Winnipeg, Columbus etc.)
Nah! Gotta be a Coyotes/Utah whatever their new name is now.
@@nathanbork2479Well he must be pretty bummed about them losing to The Stars right ? 🤔
I knew the Kings would be bottom row. I skip a vast majority of news of the day videos because the Kings are rarely in them. I'm not mad. I'm still subbed and I still watch previews, reviews, power rankings and panic indexes, so there's that. Anyone who doesn't appreciate the effort Shannon puts in is free to start their own yt channel.
Love the content Shannon! Thank you for what you do!
You are a gem! love all your content.
Heck, in the 90s my team (to this day) the Avs. Second? Detroit. Had a big wall of Avs stuff, small wall of Wings. Roy & Yzerman jerseys side by side.
Later it became the Lightning at 2, so that Cup was fun. Now it’s probably the Canes who have always been top 4ish.
I like your thoughts about the teams. It's enjoyable to hear your thought process. Cheers to all the hard work you do!
The goat of hockey youtube 😤 love the analysis!
As a Ducks fan and been a follower of the channel…I am shocked that the Ducks are that high here bc I remember you always had them bottom 10 for years haha
Thank you for the Campbell jersey. I miss those named divisions and conferences. It made hockey unique with some history behind it.
NYR # 7 welcome , Shannon ... We suck slightly less than Toronto ... Buckle - Up it will be a bumpy ride...
I feel those ducks will move up behind the jets by mid season next year Shannon. The talent coming down the pipe line will be a story for years to come get ready.
Seeing the Oilers pull off the comeback they did this year was enough of a reason to cheer for them, then they almost broke a record with the streak. That's impressive no matter what team you cheer for as far as I'm' concerned.
Hi Shannon I always look forward to your videos everyday also like the live stream with you and your wife 😄
Shannon can cheer for all the teams he wants he's earned it!
Yay the wings made the list!
San Jose being so low is a tragedy
I thought they'd be higher, sad that the Ducks bought out THG's California rooting interest! /s
@@DJVexillum Hahaa.. Yeah I guess so. But isn´t it normal to start to get feelings towards something you have personal connection to. Basic human behaviour.😁I´m a Sharks fan, but I do not mind at all.
You get Celebrini. But at what cost?
12:03 "...[except for half the teams I didn't rank here]..." lmaoo Love you Shan, keep up all the great work
As a fan It's nice to see the Anaheim's organization treat you so well.
Ngl I got excited when you grabbed the ducks magnet at 4. I'll take 8, but I legit thought top 5
As a Chicago Blackhawks fan I’m actually happy you “don’t root for” them. I come here because you ARE so level headed about how you treat every team and I can get a non bias opinion on them. Your hockey news and knowledge is on point and it’s always a pleasure to listen. Thank you for your videos!
I mean, I get why the Blues will be low on the list. Being a fan of the Bruins/Stars/Canucks, I get it.
I’ve always been a coyotes fan, now I’m heartbroken.
I would’ve put the canes at number 1 strictly out of fear of rod the bod 😂
I'm actually a bit surprised that Minnesota isn't in the top half for your. I know you've said you have no particular attachment to them even though you were a North Stars fan, but still figured they'd be above Edmonton or New Jersey for you.
you should do a list of your favorite players
imo
Favourite current players would be great! Everyone loves the big guys from history
He has done a favorite from each team before
Is there any chance you could record your talk a bit louder? I really enjoy hearing what you have to say.
Just turn up the volume
Woa I have that same jersey but it's Dale Hawerchuk
As a Tampa fan… my heart lol, but I get it.
Sick jersey
Pity cheering the Leafs is classic.
It made my heart hurt a little to see Colorado in the bottom row 😢
Penguins have been on the bottom since he started this channel
avs too. Shannon clearly hates Cole Harbour
I feel that only times this shows a bit is when you are harsher/sceptical towards your top 3... :)
My personal favourite is Sharks. From their start. Getting mainly scrubs to build a team and then that horrendous second season. In strange way I enjoy this current era more than the Marleau/Thornton underachieving era.
Second would be Stars through that I loved the North Stars outfits. Stars not that much. But as Finn the Franchise have had the most Finns through any NHL team. (total of 4996 games played by Finns).
If I would gather top 10 then I guess the rest would be in no order Panthers, Hurricanes, Predators, Senators, Wild, Black Hawks (yes I spelled it like that for reason), Flames and Canucks. Canucks sympathy partly through watching this channel.
glad you put the Leafs above the Wings, means we might get back in cup contention soon :P
From the bottom to top ten. You love to see the ducks slowly convert you
Oh damn MTL is that low 👀. Well You make great content but it was nice watching ya. 🤣
Thank You, like you said you picked them for the Stanley Cup
1. Habs
2. Oilers
3. Nucks
4. Stars
5. Panthers
26 blackhawks
27 sens
28 canes
29 vegas
30 tampa
31 boston
32. Toronto
While I dont think you are particularly biased, its nice that you were open about who you wanted to win this year
I kind of thought you’d have the avs higher, given how many amazing players they have.
I’m clearly biased, but the last few games for the Wings was like something out of a movie (other than the missing the playoffs part.)
1. Blues
2. Panthers
3. Rangers
4. Sabres
5. Everyone else
32. Vegas
You spent a ton of time deciding where to put Tampa. Secretly you love them!
Could you make a video about who you think will win the most cups in the next 10 years and which team you think will take the longest to win their next cup?
Ducks baby!!!!!! Glad we’re slowly winning you over. Welcome to the Quack Attaack! Ducks Fly Together!
Ottawa is the head scratcher...?
Love that you stay neutral with your content. Also love you don’t hate the ducks anymore!!!
Gosh, crazy how different tastes can be. My ranking would almost be the reverse of that.
Ugh mannnn, some of those magnets are so sick
It’s obvious: Other than the 3 teams Shannon has historically rooted for, he roots for the underdogs. Other than NYR, he roots for those who haven’t had success for a long time.
I’m a Blues fan since 1968, and I am the same way. And for some reason, I’ve always liked NYR.
I’m also rooting for a Canadian team to win The Cup. It’s been way too long since they’ve won one.
I feel like that bottom row especially is pretty universal, all of those teams won the cup recently except SJS
I appreciate you cheering for Philly when they were so bad. Hopefully in a couple years it will be cheering because they're fun to watch. I don't know if I will survive if the rebuild fails.
For me WSH MTL NSH VAN…. All have a Caps connection
MTL since ‘67.. WSH followed since 74 became a huge fan when Langway arrived
NSH since inception when Poile became the GM
VAN when Holts and Beagle went there
do your NFL teams next ;)
I wonder if you have list of most favorite games in the season, if anything stands out. Or the opposite, the worst game. From both teams on the ice.
Make a tier list.
Even if the Sabres never see the playoffs again, I’m still cheering for my hometown hockey team. Just wish I could see a playoff game in Buffalo one time in my life
Please, Please, Please Shannon, keep rooting for Dallas. Signed: An AVS Fan! 😀
I thought you would put tampa bay in the bottom of the bottom row
Maybe put the teams in tiers of your fandom.
Wow, I also cheer for 4 out of your top 5. Just not Boston. I live near Vancouver and I lived in Ottawa for 8 months of my life. As a smaller Canadian market, I just like Winnipeg. Then, since my parents are both Finnish, I tend to cheer for teams with many Finns (ie. Dallas, Florida, Carolina, Colorado, etc). Also, I cheer for Buffalo, cuz I would like to see them have some success.
Shannon you're a fan of hockey and that's the ultimate truth
Emotional investment is what makes sports fun. I always try to pick a team to root for in any series I watch.
I just want to see Shannon celebrate the Canucks winning a cup.
Colorado has the chance, if Vancouver and Boston keep winning, to knock out the top four of Shannon's teams. #GoAvsGo
Shannon
You so rock! You are by far the best UA-camr ever ! I wish I could find a tennis UA-camr like you. Yvonne is beautiful and lovely !
i’m happy to know im not the only person that does this outside of my favorite team😂
Rough day to be a pens fan when Shannon puts you at bottom tier 😔
I’m surprised the avs are so low with players like Mac, makar, rantanen, etc.
Avs are going to potentially take out all four of his favorite teams in one year. That would be pretty funny
Where do you get all these magnets man...
We make them
Join us, Shannon. You look great in Red and White.
If they make the playoffs I could see them moving up to 7
My top 3 teams are: Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, San Jose Sharks
Stadium series is gonna be fun for you huh
I’m a Red Wings fan. Even tho they barely missed the playoffs and their defense and goaltending was horrible. I loved this years team.
Raymond put this team on his back at so many points. It was glorious
Shannon I see too many default comments like this. Detroit had good to excellent goalkeeping most of the year thanks to Lyon. I feel people bag on goalies because they don’t like save pctg, gaa or remember a few leaky goals.
As Yzerman himself said, inconsistent netminding is an NHL-wide issue. Shannon, I maintain the increasing skill, speed and style of attack makes goaltending vulnerable. I wish you would make a video on this. Again, tired of media (and fans) seeing four goals on 25 shots and automatically conclude goalie was “horrible.”
As a blues fan the disrespect is real
You are using the dark arts again! You placed the Oilers at 13😮😮🤣🤣
You can certainly have 2 or multiple teams you cheer for. I personally am a big fan of the Blue Jackets and the Sharks. My dad is a big sharks fan so I became one and I live in Ohio so I cheer for the Blue Jackets. This is also why 2019 is such a fever dream for me because that's the closest I'll ever get to have my dream of San Jose vs. Columbus for the Stanley Cup.
I am surprised Wings arent a bit higher, to like 7. I always felt like they have a bit of a favored edge lately. We were fun and there's nobody hatable on the team really lol
One of my best friends is a die hard & loyal Leafs fan (I'm not). He always says "you can't cheer for 2 teams." But he's also been a huge Gretzky fan. He's grown up collecting Leafs and Gretztky items all his life. He was totally conflicted when Gretzky destroyed his Leafs in Game 7 back in 1993. It was the closest his Leafs ever got to the Stanley Cup finals in his lifetime. It is still "too raw' to razz him about -- so I've never bring it up.
You could make a grid and go through all the possible matchups. Then, you count up the votes. In theory, you end up with a team with 31 votes down to a team with 0 votes.
Thanks for not putting us in the bottom row!
It was a matter of time Ottawa
Shannon. I respect your list for sure. Except the Stars. I am roughly same age as you... grew up in Chicago and now live in Denver. I believe the NorthStars mascot/logo/name was amazing (and so do you I think). Now that name is lost forever in the hockey world because Dallas hockey wanted to piggyback on the Dallas Cowboys 'star' emblem on the helmet. Leave it to the country of Texan to steal this away forever. Luckily the Nordiques name and logo could still be resurrected some day, Colorado just borrows it from time to time.
Shannon: *loves all hockey teams and watching hockey*
One of the 32 teams: *succeeds*
How could they possibly go after shanon lol some team has to win and some fanbases are always gonna be mad
Maybe 1 - 16 like the playoffs, but without the East/West requirements?
Maybe a version at the beginning of the season of who you think and want to make the playoffs?
As a Seattle born Vegas fan who lived in Arizona. Go Canucks! Go Yotes! ( :( )
Living in WNY, you know where my tear-ridden allegiance lies, BUT this year you have made me see the league in a whole different perspective. The one series that was kinda interesting to me was Boston/Toronto. My basic instinct regarding these two teams has always been that I wanted the building to implode. Good, neither team wins. But this year at the end, I was actually a bit sad that Toronto was out. Yeah, I know, heresy. Nope, wouldn't root for the Leafs during the season, but in the playoffs my dislike for Toronto was way less that for the Bruins (sorry Shannon).
Shannon it's okay if you hate the kings we won't throw rocks or anything at you lol. We all Love our teams no matter what and It's okay to hate certain fan bases or teams
You should make a power rankings of fanbases that hated you the most this year
My list:
1- Canadien
2-avalanche
3- redwings
4-oilers
5- canucks
6- penguin
7- panthers
8- black hawks
9- islanders
10- …..nobody
I'll give it a shot for this year: 1 Sharks, always 2 Stars for Pavelski 3 Montreal, just something about this team 4 Detroit, was hoping they would get in the playoffs 5 Seattle, never disliked a Seattle team 6 Nashville 7 Carolina 8 Arizona 9 New Jersey 10 Minnesota 11 Winnipeg 12 Buffalo 13 Philadelphia 14 Toronto 15 New York I 16 Columbus
And 33 Vegas lol
Who's the entertainment guy rooting for? Avs, lightning, Vegas? 😉😅
Everyone was secretly rooting for the misfit Flyers to make the playoffs.
