Really hope they announce a new guy soon. I'm going to need some time to acclimate to this major change.

"They decided not to renew my contract," Remenda said Tuesday. "It wasn't because of anything I did or anything wrong. It was explained to me they wanted to take the broadcast in a different direction. Honestly, we parted amicably."

There it is, for those who didn't know or believe my post above. ;)

More than likely, that means he was given a severance contract that restricts what he could say. Once that period expires, we may hear more.

I'm happy for Drew's sake that he isn't attached to this team and what it's becoming

Sure would like to hear his opinion on the state of Sharksland, though

I'm sure there is, but i'm also certain it was handled professionally by both sides. His contract expired and they want someone else. That can be interpreted as being fired or let go, but i'm sure the Sharks will give a great endorsement for him as he tries to get a different job.

All local announcers are homers to varying extents, but Drew wasn't as homerish as many I've heard on other teams' broadcasts. Also, he does know a lot about the game, and found his insights and analysis generally good. I think they are making a mistake here, but it will be interesting to see who they hire as replacement.

Melodramatic post. He would probably give an honest, unemotional assessment and everyone would here would cry about him being a company man.

I wouldn't necessarily call his opinion being a company man but there will be a hint of bias with it. It's only natural. We all do it to some extent. He's likely to protect the coaching staff and put it on the players as that's just how he's wired. Nothing outlandish with that sort of assessment either.

Now if he started to protect certain players and give them excuses, I may have a point of contention but I understand why he's doing it even if I think it may be inaccurate.

You mean like Joe Thornton and Logan Couture? :laugh: You know those are his favorite players. Drew was pretty steamed after the series and he and Hedican both laid the blame at the players feet.

Well, I have a melodramatic opinion

And I agree Drew would just be Drew, and that's what I miss most

Yup or the classic one with Douglas Murray...but at least he tries, you know? lol

It's very difficult for Drew to lay blame at Jumbo's feet. He's done it ever so rarely but he certainly doesn't treat them all the same from an analytical point of view.

True enough. I think he will fit in well with the Oilers if he gets that job. Soon nothing will be Jordan Eberle or Taylor Hall's fault. It will fall on the quiet guy (RNH) and the foreign guy (Yakupov) :laugh:
