Respectfully, the metros/voyageurs are NOT winning any cups if they hated Shane the whole time lmao. They aren't even winning that third cup if they hated Shane/were actively icing him out by that point. If teams are having problems in the locker room, especially the team turning on their star player/captain, they are going to do bad. Discontent in the locker room will and has and tbh pretty much always does end seasons and playoff runs.
I know people love the "Shane is the only reason they won anything!!" Narrative and like, they definitely wouldn't have won those cups without him! He is who the team is built around! But hockey is so extremely a team sport. If it wasn't mcDavid and draisaitl would already have like 5 cups as a duo. you can't put a generational player on a bad team and win. It's been proven time and time again that that doesn't work.
