I find Shannon kind of harmless. He's not a guy I look to for great NHL insight like Brian Burke or trade rumours such as Bob McKenzie but at least he's not one of those hot take (Steven A. Smith, Skip Bayless) guys like Kypreos has become where they say stupid things just to get a rise.

Sometimes I will see the quote in my signature and I laugh to myself knowing that it is almost six(!!!) years old. Love seeing how far the Oiler delusions go back

Shannon goes nuts, defends Nicholson and patronizes the rest of the cast at 54:00.
At 59:46, he trusts his "instincts" about McDoofus and him wanting to stay in Edmonton long term.
Shannon is no good, I agree. But wow what a brutal line up. Bob Mcowan, Arash Madani, John Shannon. How does Brunt put up those guys? That was painful to listen to.
And how about that intro to the Oilers segment around 44 mins? “You’re only allowed to call him Bob. People who call him Bobby are now forced to call him Mr Mcowen.” So cringeworthy.
Prime time Sports is no good.

Brunt is buddy buddy with McCown and has been a guest on his show forever.

Another blast from the past courtesy of Ron Maclean:
On the Edmonton Oilers’ 2015-16 playoff hopes: “Fantastic. I think for sure playoffs. I tell you who’s going to be lights-out this year is Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall.
“They went over to the World Championship and played with Crosby, which is similar to Messier and Gretzky. Not that they needed any encouragement but those two Oilers flanked Mario Lemieux at the crucial moment of the Canada Cup in ’87. Now you have two Oilers flanking Sid to a gold. You watch Eberle take off. He’s already been great in international hockey, but I think this is going to be his year, Taylor Hall’s year.
“And Connor McDavid and Darnell Nurse will fit in. Gimme a glass of wine or a beer, and I think in two years they win the Cup. That may be a little eager, but I don’t think more than four.
^ Good gracious. Layering hoodies under a sport coat? Then a vest on top?
I'm no peter12 but that is embarrassing. Needed to bring his girlfriend there and not have these glorified salesman pounce on him push him into terrible clothes and convince him to be some sort of guinea pig for thier company's awful concepts and terrible style.
That really is the puffy shirt eposide from Seinfeld all over again. I'm sure he's getting paid to wear these clothes but have some self respect man.

80s reference - Check
Gretzky and Messier reference - Check
"This is going to be his year" - Check
Stanley Cup Guarantee - Check
Results from irrelevant international tournament being used to support baseless claims - Check
Pay zero attention to recent NHL results, standings, ability to draft and develop prospects or respect how hard it is to win a Stanley Cup in today's NHL? - Check
Ron Maclean = NO GOOD
