Just the fact that you're taking notes from as many as 10 games at a time is remarkable. Of course you are going to miss things. Hockey is a fluid game unlike baseball, where it would be much easier to track everything that happens due to its nature. The hard work is much appreciated.
Gotta get into the playoffs to even be considered for the Norris. Try and find a Norris winner who's team didn't make the playoffs.....you most likely will find 2 maybe 3 guys EVER.
Personally I think you do a great job of covering as much as possible. I would hope that people who ask why you didn't mention something are new and don't understand the grind
I wouldn`t be able to take notes, write them on a board with time, who, why, in, out, offside, strange call, saves, goals, penaltys, fights, icings, missed calls, number of shots etc etc in two games :) So thanks so much for all the work and information you provide us with Shannon.
As someone who doesn’t necessarily have time to sit and watch all the highlights, I appreciate your reviews as I can watch / listen to them the morning after while on a walk/run before my day officially starts. Even if you miss something, you’re usually quick to mention it the day after in a news video. So no sweat and keep doing what you’re doing.
I'm a school teacher and never have time to watch the highlights, or stay up late to watch the end of games. I love running around in the morning getting ready for work and listening to all your commentary. Thanks for all you do!
The amount of people shocked during last night's review about him missing Dahlin's record is crazy. It's easier to catch it if it's the only game you watch, or if you watch the highlights. Try watching 10 games at a time, trying to catch every shot, pass, save and goal
Plus, it's not much of a record. I'm a Sabres fan, but scoring goals in four games in a row? I'm surprised it hasn't happened before? Orr, Coffey, Leitch - none of these guys did it? Okay. Still... let's see how the next 78 games go. Go Sabres.
Shannon, I can only assume it was a Sabres fan such as my self that prompted your explanation at the start of video. Yes, we're a sensitive lot. Buffalo the city gets a bad wrap regarding weather and the fact that it is a small market and not a sexy destination. However, we believe our beloved Bills and Sabres are our national representatives and we will staunchly defend their honor. I believe that championship banners from both will reduce our collective sensitivity. Thanks for all you do. Thanks for all you do.
We know you work hard Shannon. I jokingly say you should have a dedicated Command Room with 15 TVs so you can catch all the action, but I know that's impossible. Keep doing what you are doing, it works and it's entertaining. There's a reason we keep coming back to your channel for all things hockey.
Shannon doesn't need to apologize for anything. You clearly love the game and cover what you can. It's significantly more than most of us would ever attempt. I enjoy watching the Red Wings and I might catch a few other bigger games a month where I can. 10 games in a night? Never change. We all appreciate what you have to say and commend your commitment to being THE Hockey Guy!
New sub here and you kick ass with all the Hockey content you out out daily. Can’t believe folks are acting so entitled!! Keep up the AWESOME work Shannon
You do a damn good job, better than most would do any day, and most of us appreciate the effort you put into your reviews and the rest of the content on your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing. 👍
I get defenseman don’t score as often as forwards (duh) but I’m surprised that the record is just at 4. Like I would’ve assumed that a guy like Bobby Orr would’ve had that record set at like 6 or 7 but I guess that shows how hard it is to score as a d-man.
So many factors, besides the obvious. This is a "to start the season" record. How many defensemen/players start the season in perfect shape and conditioning ready to play? Today's athletes versus 100 years worth of pros. Factor in expansion. If there's only 6 teams, the teams are likely better top to bottom. You might have to worry about playing defense more than you do when there are 32 teams. Style changes. Quality of ice and equipment. Rule changes, there is no two line pass anymore. The game is much more uptempo with lots of rushes, turnovers, mistakes that result in odd man rushes. I'm not taking anything away from Dahlin's achievement. I think it's incredible. Just so hard to score consistently. I believe the Buffalo Sabres record for goals to start a season is 5 by Gilbert Perreault. A hall of fame center. To give perspective.
Dahlin is much more physical this year. Years past he was scrawny and was having a hard time adapting to the North American game. But now he isn’t taking anyones crap and is pushing back. He looks like one of the best defensemen on the league.
Milan lucic being in the league still should be an inspiration to everyone around the world. If he can make 6 million dollares a year and play 1100 NHL games, you too should be able to make it.
I don't even know how you can focus that hard and pick up as much as you do in various games. You're doing a great job and you're the only channel where I watch nearly ever video.
You never need to apologize. I'm surprised at Dahlin and that record. A minor record, but I would have thought Bobby Orr, or Denis Potvin, or [insert name here] would have more than four games. This is a different era where defensemen is tightly integrated into offense, and vice versa.
Thats funny how you explained how you do game coverage. I was wondering the other day if you watch multiple games and go back and fouth frantically taking notes or watch replays until you're satisfied
I do hope all those "you missed this and that" comments are there, so we have video like this, when all that stuff is talked about. Those short videos, really helps to keep track of what is going on.
I watch highlights after, and really value your efforts that expedite your recaps. I enjoy hearing what you saw, then watching the highlights. I thought that was the experience we wanted to share? 😂 Cheers
Had no idea it was a record when I heard about Dahlin last night. I think it's a fun accomplishment and I hope he has a great season, this might be the year he has his big breakthrough.
The only thing that really bugs me about the hockey guy videos... he only addresses 'you fine people'.... what about the rest of us? I'm a jerk... maybe, just once say 'fine people and that one jerk face?' Is that too much ask? I have feelings too :)
Those Buffalo jerseys were widely panned, but I liked them. If I recall, they were yellow in front and blue in back, which I thought was ingenious, with the hope that maybe they'd confuse the other team. But I guess they didn't. In other news, Josh Bailey's coming up on game 1000 for the Islanders, which is kind of a miracle, since Islander fans have been wanting to get rid of him since game 100. His should be an interesting career video when he reaches the mark.
A late hit, a stick to the mouth, and thrown against the boards. Result: No Penalties called but possibly missed games by Sanderson plus stitches.. The NHL really needs to do a better job of protecting players from injury. Of course Aaron "damn you to hell" Dell still brings tears to my eyes for what he got away with last year. And don't get me started on Matt Cooke!
I think a five minute time-lapse of you scrawling on a board/boards on a busy evening would be a cool April Fools Day video... Just saying... (Of course, I suspect there are hurdles even to that...)
How could you not mention the dance off in the middle of the Sens game last night. You also missed when thr ice melted and they started playing pool volley ball instead. You just arnt paying attention.
Hey THG, Love the videos, but out of curiosity have you ever participated in fantasy hockey? Since you're already so busy with videos and watching hockey I would be under the assumption you don't have time to do fantasy? But I think it would be awesome if you would ever cover that in the future in-terms of players/stat-lines stuff like that :)
GEEEEEEZZZZ....do you actually expect us to allow you to have a real life?....food, no way....talk to your wife, absolutely not...lol....You're the HOCKEY ,Bunny, Kitty GUY, not the Real Life guy...get it right...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...BTW...📣📣" Thank you Shannon...Thank you Shannon...Thank you Shannon"...👍👍
He kinda had to, becuse you know, it was news? And he said in that News of the Day video that he had been suspended becuse of an anonymous Twitter poster and that he understood why. Don't understand what you wanted him to do.
Buffalo Sabres fan here. It's amazing to see Dahlin grow into the force he was predicted to be when he entered the NHL. The Sabres having Owen Power as well are loaded on the blue line.
CONGRATULATIONS... for being 1st you win... ABSOLUTELY NOT A DAMN THING.... had you been 2nd or 3rd you would have won... A FREE BAG OF AIR... please be responsible and don't spend it all at once

He runs a sweatshop of elves that do the work hehe
It is absolutely remarkable that no large sports network with hundreds of employees is able to cover all teams of the NHL but somehow one man can.
With baseball, it's much harder to stay awake.
Dahlin is an early candidate for the Norris. He's been unstoppable early on.
He’s been a beast in his own end too!
He has a new mentality this year. He’s starting to act like barnaby after the play lol
Yeah, he's been going on a tear for four games. He was really good at the end of last season too, but it's only four games.
Cheers 🍺
Gotta get into the playoffs to even be considered for the Norris. Try and find a Norris winner who's team didn't make the playoffs.....you most likely will find 2 maybe 3 guys EVER.
If he can keep this up he does have a shot at being a nominee, they gotta make the playoffs for it to have a shot though.
Personally I think you do a great job of covering as much as possible. I would hope that people who ask why you didn't mention something are new and don't understand the grind

Six months ago, who would have thought we'd see Eric Staal and Paul Maurice reunited, and with the Panthers
Great point

When you mentioned the Xhekaj/Kassian fight I had to pause and check that out. If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, go do it, you will not be disappointed

That was shocking to me as well. With over 100 years of hockey you'd think at least once there would be someone who went on a significant run

Dahlin is looking like a steal in fantasy for me at 86
I wasn't able to draft him but someone cut him after the Sabre's first game and I got him to replace the last defensemen I drafted.
Luckily THG has the youtube comments to check for any missed content

Hey. Since you changed it from Review to Recap, could you also change it from Preview to Precap? Just helps with continuity I think
😂 🤣 🙃
Following one hockey game requires pretty much my full attention. I have no clue how you would follow 10 simultaneously
You do a great job every video. Whoever disagrees is objectively wrong.
Hard core Hockey fans wish we could be you ....lol 😉😉 your hard work pays off
You should time laps a busy night, that would be fun to see
yep i was gonna say exactly that
Nice Sabre outfit
I too would love to see Shannon Scissorhands in action.
"So the Canucks are always interesting"
😁
Charlie Brown Canucks
Is slater koekoe still on the ir for Oilers
Dahlin >>>>> Makar
How do you watch all the games at once? Multiple TV's?
IMO You should enjoy the games too, the notes are nice but not overly necessary, at least not in high detail. But you know what works for you
Ottawa had 2 really bad starts the last 2 years. 4 wins in the first 20 games and similar the year before.
Those Buffalo jerseys were widely panned, but I liked them.

Omg that fight jack-eye woooah
THG - The Hockey Goat
Been telling people to be patient and the Dahlin could pull a Ekblad and suddenly be a top defenseman in the league.
Go Sabres
Recaps .... Reviews..... whatever. Call it as u see it Shannon ✅🏆✅.
For all the shit he took after leaving Boston Lucic has really carved out a pretty impressive career.
I'm shocked Staal got another contract. I don't think he has helped a team since Minnesota.
Chris Wideman said he's started calling Xhekaj 'WiFi' because his name kinda looks like a wifi password. Cracked me up.
How about a silent time-lapse of you watching and making notes. That could work.
A late hit, a stick to the mouth, and thrown against the boards. Result: No Penalties called but possibly missed games by Sanderson plus stitches.. The NHL really needs to do a better job of protecting players from injury. Of course Aaron "damn you to hell" Dell still brings tears to my eyes for what he got away with last year.

Sanderson getting dental X-rays for possible damage. Stitches inside and outside his upper lip.
Guentzel also took a B. Lemieux hit to the head.
The Hockey Guy a low key Sabs fan?
I think a five minute time-lapse of you scrawling on a board/boards on a busy evening would be a cool April Fools Day video...
Just saying...
(Of course, I suspect there are hurdles even to that...)
I love Lucic but the Flames need better bottom 6 players. Hoping Lucic, Ritchie and Lewis the best but plz don't resign them
Don't mentioned controversy is a bummer for me then maybe I'm out
Shayna is probably right stagger some games damnit.
How could you not mention the dance off in the middle of the Sens game last night. You also missed when thr ice melted and they started playing pool volley ball instead. You just arnt paying attention.
