I think you’re pretty cool
Well then all is good with me and my 32 oz bottle of Miller High Life tonight my brother.
I think you’re pretty cool
You had to be there.
It was like Wayne's World but in real-life.
His show was on the Rogers community cable access channel. His guests were the most random local people. His co-stars were his buddies. One guy would just stand there drinking coffee with funky music playing for a little while and then leave.
His shenanigans on the streets of Ottawa were funny because sometimes you'd see him out there or you'd recognize where he was.
The way he used his parents in his skits was both hilarious and cringeworthy.
Let’s be real if you have 3 favorite teams, you have no favorite teamI like him. For a guy who has three favorite teams, he does a good job of sounding neutral and impartial a lot of the time.
Especially on somethings, he is far more understanding of what went down with the Thrashers than many here.I like the guy. I think I'd watch more if he interjected his opinion a bit more often because he's one of the few that have at least reasonably educated takes on YT.
He's ok but very dry. I got bored with him.
I like him. I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea, and he's not the type of big personality that usually does well on these types of platforms. But I think he's a breath of fresh air in the sports space that is dominated by blowhards, hot takes, and general lowest common denominator hot takes and rage bait. All that other content creates a very real need for something devoid of all that, and Shannon is just that: a relatively unbiased voice of reason. And I'd much rather spend time supporting a small time content creator who seems very genuine (and transparent) hockey fan than give hits to TSN.
The fact that he's so popular shows you how terrible the hockey content is out there. 90% of us can do what he does. He goes over games and tells exactly what happened. There's literally no knowledge needed and he's not charismatic in any way. I only said 90% because some people have stage fright.
Damn, does he make money on his videos? That sounds like something I can do!He’s ok. Seems like a nice guy and I admire his passion and dedication to his channel. All he does is read box score stats though and doesn’t really give any real analysis.
Oh absolutely since I don’t just believe everything I hear. It’s like poker, you like to know what the opponent looks like when he’s telling the truth and when he’s lying. You also like to know when you’re good what you’re trying to do something and you get negative feedback via losing money.You assign a positive value to receiving bad information?

The bolded part is bad for someone newer to the sport. You should never start with a foundation that's wrong. He's easily consumed hockey "content" for people that don't know just how shallow and vague to the point of wrong he often is.I appreciate what he does and having listened to him years ago and hearing his story .. I root for him.
But I don’t find his coverage that insightful or in depth at all, and outright wrong at times. Good for someone newer to the sport though.
