I have admired the class and dignity with which it has run its operation. I have supported the team for every win and every loss. The loss to the Los Angeles Kings hurt. We were beat by a better team. I can accept that. The release of Drew Remenda I cannot accept. Drew is the most colorful, insightful, and funny color commentator in the entire league. I watch a lot of hockey. Drew and Randy are the dynamic duo of broadcasting. They made watching the Sharks FUN!<br /><br />BRING BACK DREW.<br /><br />BRING BACK DREW<br /><br />BRING BACK DREW<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-32936046002070537062014-06-18T19:56:18.889-07:002014-06-18T19:56:18.889-07:00John Tortora is the DB that let the 5 time Emmy wi...John Tortora is the DB that let the 5 time Emmy winning broadcaster go. He probably will replace him with some lousy homer, because he couldn't handle the truth. The statement explaining his "firing" sits so wrong too. He's a great guy, but we want to move in another direction". Someone on top didn't like the truth. Well John, you lost 4 more TV viewers in this household alone. I'm sure if Drew decides to broadcast for another team, he will have a far higher chance of broadcasting a Stanley Cup game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-21636298788499916822014-06-18T17:29:42.618-07:002014-06-18T17:29:42.618-07:00HORRIBLE moveHORRIBLE moveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-37600901043321052862014-06-18T16:55:06.190-07:002014-06-18T16:55:06.190-07:00It seems that if you have someone that honestly sa...It seems that if you have someone that honestly says it like it is, he gets canned.<br />That's why DW is still the GM of the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-68484232273025028992014-06-18T13:01:24.298-07:002014-06-18T13:01:24.298-07:00No big loss.
