"The hardest thing is to think I'm not a San Jose Shark any more"

Reading that makes me want to cry

Those cries will quickly turn to joy win Thornton utters the same words in the near future

Hmph. Maybe his harsh criticism of the Sharks led to this. His comments after game 6 were spot-on.

New direction = color analyst who never criticizes his team?

Sad day for SJ fans.

True

But, not Drew

This just feels really wrong

 

[OrrNumber4]

This thread should be stickied. If Mike Brown gets a sticky...

Deep, deep, deep, denial

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Probably because he kissed the other teams' ass too much towards the end. We will miss you Drew!

 

[joseph_kerr]

Good luck to you Drew. Never seemed quite the same after you left to go national and came back but thanks for stuff like that.

this news gets a huge

loved randy and drew together

Welp, I'm pretty sure these are among my last few posts as a Sharks fan.

I have no idea what management is thinking but they are absolutely wrecking a great franchise. Losing Drew Remenda by choice is ... insane. Anyone with any sense of talent can tell Randy and Drew are magic together. Decisions like this seem destined to be followed by similarly insane personnel decisions, which have already begun with the Mike Brown signing and ...

I'm just about done. I became a Sharks fan by choice and I will not stick around through its unnecessary, unjustified demise.

 

[Bizz]

The Sharks didn't get rid of Remenda, CSN did.

 

[hockeyball]

I like Drew a lot, but honestly, I'm kind of ready for a change. Drew just says the same stuff over, and over, and over, and over... It gets tiring.

 

[sharski]

This is the worst rebuild ever

 

[Gilligans Island]

The Sharks didn't get rid of Remenda, CSN did.

Considering the Sharks pay his salaries (and Randy's, too), yes they did get rid of him.

man i remember that, good stuff

Same.

Hedican or Buster? That'd be fun. We need a little grit upstairs... ;-)

 

[Alwalys]

Even if by some miracle DW actually does the smart thing and simply builds on what is one of the best teams in the league, and we finally to make it ... to think that Drew wouldn't be a part of it flat out sucks. He deserves better.

 

[Levie]

Whoever is chopping the onions in here could you please stop? My eyes hurt.



(funny how this was hinted at by LS right after our loss and the majority of posters said "good riddance." I guess they got over the bitter loss and woke up that not everyone in the Sharks organization was responsible.)

 

[JayP812]

Wow this sucks. Drew is very entertaining and knowledgeable about the game. Sure, some of his opinions are out there, but for the most part he backs them up. You can tell the real excitement he has about a play or player or team in general. Also, he and Randy have better chemistry than anyone in the business. Gonna be big shoes to fill for Baker/Hedican/new guy.

Also, his homerism is way exaggerated. He can criticize the Sharks and constantly praises the other teams players. His love affair with Ryan Smyth stands out. Listen to him when we play LA. If you didn't know any better, you'd think he was a Kings homer.

 

[SactoShark]

The Sharks didn't get rid of Remenda, CSN did.

The Sharks issued a statement in which chief operating officer John Tortora said: "We would like to thank Drew for his years of service to the Sharks organization and to our fans. We wish him the best in the future."

 

[Gilligans Island]

Wonder what he did to get the ax.
