I think he just got confused because of the exclamation point instead of the i. You could've made it a little easier and opted for the inverted exclamation point (¡) which looks more like an i.
Shannon's hate goes so deep that he hates teams that haven't even been thought of. In leagues that haven't been made yet in cities that haven't been populated on planets that haven't even been discovered yet.
I've only been subbed for maybe less than a year or about a year. I love these videos the most. I find it hilarious you find out you hated a team for whatever reason. lol

As a Stars fan, any one who thinks your being critical of the Stars is from hate and not frustration, clearly hasn't been watching enough Stars games. They look like a completely different team after the last two years. It's insane how far they've fallen.
Oh man, this has been a hilarious vid, THG my man. You're so incredibly neutral, you take the time of talking about ALL the teams and compliment all the good more than criticize the bad in general when putting the light on a team. Those little remarks of yours make me totally get how you feel, don't worry about the actual haters, you're incredibly generous of your time. Keep it up and happy 2025! 😆
I have seen a lot more THG content on the Canes than I would expect so I don’t think you hate on us at all. Happy New Year and thanks for all the great content!
Colorado fan since the move from Quebec and followed you for last year or so. Never heard any hate for my Avs from u at all. Enjoy the content and keep it coming. Happy New Year!
Kings fan here. Def feel the hate during power rankings sometimes glossing over the kings in some of the coverage videos too and it is confirmed that THG hates the Kings the most. Still love the content still enjoy all the hard work Shannon does
I wouldn’t say THG hates the Kraken, but they are kind of the third of four children when it comes to videos hahah. Example: I could be wrong but I don’t think he covered Captain Eberle’s possible career ending injury that has him on LTIR (shattered Pelvis) for the remainder of the year if not longer depending on the rehab, while he has covered most other injuries in the league. (Ebs is now 2?months ish post surgery and he’s still in a wheelchair, but showing up at practices sometimes anyways for moral support) Secondary thought: on longer form videos, they tend to get sandwiched between teams he’ll talk about for 2-3 minutes, and generally loves. Then will give maybe 45 seconds to a full minute for the kraken before another 3 or so min on another team - so it’s probably just the placement unintentionally making it seem worse. The most recent panic index is a good example of this too. I get it though, outside of the Kraken, I’m fairly team neutral and there are some teams I just don’t have a lot to say about (like, the Habs. I know Montembeault has had some rough games and that’s kind of it.) All of this to say: we don’t truly think you hate some teams / the kraken. Lot of unintentional things can make it seem that way at times, but there’s 32 teams, 82ish games a season, easy for things to get lost.
The only vibe you've given me about the Sabres is genuine enthusiasm when they do better than expected and some pity and commiseration when they soil themselves. You wear Buf jerseys fairly often, you ranked us high in the "entertaining to watch" video and you really do give the team a fair shake (although I think you do a good job of that for all teams). During the 13 game skid, you were probably the only hockey youtuber who didn't try to capitalize by piling on our misery. Kudos to you THG!
Why so much hate for New Jersey? What are you questioning? You don't think they deserve a check mark? I scrolled all the way to the end of the video and find myself absolutely flabbergasted at the hate and disrespect you've demonstrated unjustly towards the New Jersey Devils! Oh and Happy New Year!
I am 43, my grand parents watched it, so didn't need to. As soon as I heard it saw a bunch of guys slipping and sliding on the ice, falling down in double time, bunch of random pucks going in random places, lots of fights breaking out, and the refs where nuns getting their dresses lifted up by players sticks.
All I know is you definitely hate the team I really like. Seems to be pretty fair and level headed with every other team, but if I root for them, then THG hates them!
Happy New Years folks! Reply to this comment which team you’re a fan of and the 2 current rival teams and the 2 current most hated teams. Let’s make a thread here. Oilers: Rivals: CGY 4life, FLA Hate: LAK, VGK
Would be cool to see a list video of who THG feels which teams his viewers cheer for the most. Like are there more habs fan viewers etc. I know people cheer for multiple teams.
As a long time penguins fan and subscriber I don't really see you as a "hater" and I know they are not a team you route for. I like your honesty and analysis of the game.
THG helped me understand i wasnt just a sharks fan i was a hockey fan. Theres no hate in THG, that dude watches so much hockey to think he hates any team is ignorant. Disappointment is not hate.
I’ve never really gotten the impression that you hate on teams. In my opinion you’re pretty unbiased in your content. Although that video on Brodeur being barely in the top 10 was very hateful to hockey 😂
Shannon, You were doing so well with your "hate" of NHL teams. Why did you have to remind us about the Canucks and Rangers in 1994? I could go on, but I will end by saying Happy Year 2025 to all!
As an Islanders fan I love this channel because he was the only one who said they were good when Trotz was coach. Everyone else labeled them lucky. Now that we are trash he tells it like it is. Only the truth on this channel.
As a jackets fan, our media stuff is so bad, i consider you the primary media for us. Plus you actually treat us as a real team where a ton of other hockey pundits write us off immediately.
As a Dallas Stars fan in the Metroplex, I can unequivocally say a few things: 1. THG is more of a Stars fan than a good chunk of fans here locally. The criticisms of the Stars have always been valid and in line with....our eyes. 2. THG is more of an American fan of hockey than a good chunk of American fans of hockey.....nationally 3. Puck off! Go Stars!
I feel this channel provides a fair and balanced view of all of the hockey teams. I don't get the sense of homerism with Vancouver, Boston or Dallas. Milestones annoy me unless it's a real statistic. For example, Ovechkin breaking the all time goal record, or someone breaking a franchise's assist record. If you have to go through a bunch of gymnastics for a stat such as "The first San Jose Shark to have 8 goals and 4 assists in their first 7 games as a rookie below the age of 21". Maybe that should be the rule, if you have to include more than two numbers in the statistic description, it's not a real milestone.
I’ve discovered your content only this season, but I’ve never felt any animosity toward my team (LAK). That said, I’ve also never been bothered by opinions of my fav teams in any sport. I also fully recognize the faults those teams may have. Keep up the great work!
The hate knows no bounds. Despite not having played for nearly, or perhaps for more than, a century, he still doesn’t bring up the Hamilton Tigers, Montreal Maroons, Montreal Wanderers, Portland Rosebuds, Quebec Bulldogs, Regina Capitals, Saskatoon Sheiks, Spokane Canaries, or Victoria Cougars. The unacknowledged loathing is believed to be behind the blocking of attempts to relocate to or expand to Portland. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
Shannon is so gonna pull a Finn McKenty and appear on some random podcast saying "I don't even like hockey. I never did! All for the money, and yes, I was on Bettman's payroll the whole time. My fans are so stupid."
THG actually stands for The Hateful Guy
add Chance the Rapper to Chicago
Plot twist: THG actually hates hockey :p
The hurtful guy
@@outsideredge holy shit lol 😀😀😀got that reference 😀❤
around Christmas, he becomes the Hockey Grouch
He takes all those trips to Anaheim because he wants to see them lose in person. Diabolical level of hatred.
I can't believe Shannon didn't put us Coyotes on the board. He does hate us, it's like we're not even a team to him anymore.
I think he just got confused because of the exclamation point instead of the i. You could've made it a little easier and opted for the inverted exclamation point (¡) which looks more like an i.
You hate to see it lol
😂😂😂
@@arzona1961 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shannon definitely hates the yotes above all others if they’re not even on the board
Pretty sure you can't call yourself a Canucks fan if you dont hate the Canucks from time to time. It's cyclical.
@@tolman33 ditto for Winnipeg as a Jets fan
I like how he does a question mark instead of a definitve no, leaving some room for hate later on down the road.
Shannon, we have been over this. You hate my team and my team exclusively.
Yup. I guess we like the same team.. 😂
Happy New Year, Shannon and Yvonne! Here’s hoping you have a good and less hateful 2025!
Devils fan here. I'm pretty sure I can never forgive THG for predicting us to win the cup last year. /s
That was hilarious.
As someone who follows the Kraken, the Jets and the Canucks I can 100% confirm you hate the Kraken, Jets and Canucks.
We need to make a Kraken/Jets combo fan club. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
@@garmgarmgarm494kraken absolutely. Jets? Only when they were in the wha. Does that count? Can I be in the dozens?
@@garmgarmgarm494 Im all in! But you're the chairman lol
this video should’ve just been like 20 seconds. “welcome back. yes i do. thank you guys so much for watching”
yeah but vids have to like 10 minutes. So after that its just a live stream of the cats. At the end, THG goes the cats hate your team too.
Nice sweater. The last two games Cleveland has had crowds of over 15,000. three days ago, 16,151. Oh, this is a hate thread.
He hates large Ohioan crowds
Can't help but notice the Thrashers aren't on this list THG....
Bring back the Thrashers
@@choppergunner8650please i miss them and i’m not even a trashers fan
He HATES the Thrashers. Misses the Nordiques a little bit, for the sweater logo.
i hated that team. Signed FL Panthers fan.
@@TonySchiavone6 I love the Thrashers. Signed FL Panthers fan 🤣
You hate the Devils for not remembering that you hate the Devils! OMG THG
He's always been jealous of Marty even now.
As a sens fan I normally find your takes on them the most fair and accurate, most people either over hype or critically undervalue them.
Shannon's hate goes so deep that he hates teams that haven't even been thought of. In leagues that haven't been made yet in cities that haven't been populated on planets that haven't even been discovered yet.
I've only been subbed for maybe less than a year or about a year. I love these videos the most. I find it hilarious you find out you hated a team for whatever reason. lol
THG only hates St. Louis because he’s Joel Hofer’s biggest fan and wants to reverse jinx them

I was thinking he can't really hate the Islanders, because the Islanders fans hate their team and ownership more than he can ever.
As a dallas fan, to be fair, even I'm hating them just a little bit this season 😆
Happy New Year Shannon.
That monsters jersey is sharp. Add it to the list of things imma spend money on i shouldn't.
As a Stars fan, any one who thinks your being critical of the Stars is from hate and not frustration, clearly hasn't been watching enough Stars games. They look like a completely different team after the last two years. It's insane how far they've fallen.

Rangers fan here and I’m hating them this season. Past two months I don’t even think I watched a full game
THG doesn't hate on any teams as much as the teams that he cheers for hahaha
Hockey types wouldn’t trust you if you liked everyone. True fans can give that impartial critique. Your site is a gem
I have seen a lot more THG content on the Canes than I would expect so I don’t think you hate on us at all. Happy New Year and thanks for all the great content!
But is he ever saying nice things about the Canes 😂
I’m not ready to give up on the Wings for this season yet especially after with a new coach and how they played against the Caps the other day.
"Hate, hate, hate-hate-hate... LOATHE ENTIRELY." -THG (I guess)

I love when Shannon does the silly videos
The only vibe you've given me about the Sabres is genuine enthusiasm when they do better than expected and some pity and commiseration when they soil themselves. You wear Buf jerseys fairly often, you ranked us high in the "entertaining to watch" video and you really do give the team a fair shake (although I think you do a good job of that for all teams).

THG resorting to using black magic on the viewers that can see thru his charade.
He had a question mark by both ducks and Sharks, it’s clear why he hates the kings. Still can’t believe he snubbed Kopi for the all star team 1 /s
A reminder that for haters, they just keep on hatin’.
Why so much hate for New Jersey? What are you questioning? You don't think they deserve a check mark? I scrolled all the way to the end of the video and find myself absolutely flabbergasted at the hate and disrespect you've demonstrated unjustly towards the New Jersey Devils! Oh and Happy New Year!
😂
As a Sharks fan, I think you are a big supporter! You were happy when they won the lottery to get Celebrini!
Agree!! And I know Shannon will be happy to see SJ win the Cup.
You have been very fair to the Devils this year. No complaints. If only the 🤬 officials would get on your level...
Don’t worry, Shannon. Sabres fans hate the Sabres more than you or anyone else.
Its honestly impressive how they managed to fuck it up so bad given who they have had over the last 10 years
Jinxy McJinxface jinxing every team in the NHL. At this rate Slavia Praha will be Shannon's pick for the Stanley Cup.
Never change Shannon
Did he just say Benny Hill? Lol that's all you could watch at 11pm when I was a kid! Who Googled it?
I am 43, my grand parents watched it, so didn't need to.

Fans: we are bad and you criticize us. Hate!
As a Kraken fan I think you have been way too generous with Seattle.
Happy New Year!! Go Jets Go!! 🎉🎉
I’ve always felt you’re one of the most even handed people I’ve ever listened to, certainly in the realm of sports
Happy New Year from ALL Devils fans! Yes, even from the irrational haters, if there are any out there. 😂
"If there are any (haters) out there..."
Bro seems to have forgotten that the New York Rangers exist 😂
Go monsters. looking great Shannon
Has a Habs fan, I would like to apologize for the small portion of demented fans that complained about any of your videos.
How dare you hate on the Devils?!?! You Taylor Ham boy! (You can turn that ? to check now lol we felt left out)

It's simple: they're playing bad because they're sad that you hate them.
Nothing gets under THGs skin like people saying he hates a team
THG actually despises Buffalo and knowingly uses his jinxing powers everytime he “roots” for them or says something optimistic about them.
