Does this make Sharks fans sick?

Kevin Kurz is a clown

 

[jetsforever]

That would be painful to see.

Sick that despite cutting costs, The Athletic still employs Kevin Kurz, who is a complete clown that posts ridiculous Tweets like this for the purpose of trolling fans? Yes, I am a tad sick.

I've been a Sharks fan for years and it's an absolute travesty that this guy is employed. Kurz is a terrible writer and an even worse human being, and the world would be a better place if he were unemployed and on the street begging for change and a truly capable individual had his job instead.

The beard would definitely have to go. Maybe he could turn it into an evil goatee.

The arrival of Sheng Peng has made Kurz even more noticeably terrible. It’s amazing the difference between competent sports writers.

Come to think of it, there was speculation Jumbo Joe would sign with the Leafs, but they just re-signed Spezza.

That's not speculation thats kurz starting shit trying to get clicks

Kurz is a terrible insider. He has no connections, he is snarky and condescending to the fans, he makes the worst proposals of any hockey writer I have ever seen(Hertl for Mike Richards), he follows dumb narratives(the team needs more grit, we need Mike Brown!), etc. It's annoying when his crap gets reported on news and rumor pages. If you want good Sharks info follow Sheng Peng.

Yeah but he's not the only one speculating about it. And Vegas would be looking for either a 1-2m C or a 35+ C they could attach performance bonuses to.

Doug Wilson just mentioned talking with Jumbo in his post draft video, big grin on his face, he'll be a Sharks next season.

1. Kurz is a hack who loves writing clickbait

2. Jumbo knows it would probably ruin every bit of goodwill the city of San Jose has had for him the past 15 years

 

[Zrhutch]

So what y’all are telling me is that Kurz is a great guy and y’all love his writing?

The ironic part is that he's actually a really good writer when it comes to telling stories about players and their personalities, he just has terrible hockey opinions.

 

[themelkman]

Kurz is not a source. Hes just stiring the pot

 

[Levie]

I'm surprised Kurz knows Pete Deboer is Vegas' coach and not still with the Sharks.

 

[Sempiternal]

Then they'll surely not win a Cup next season. The guy is cursed.

 

[mundyc3]

Be hilarious. I am all for the hilarity.

If 2 is true then it says a lot about the childishness of San Jose fans.

Interesting take but ok

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Kevin Kurz is a troll that likes pissing off hf sharks fans. It's San Jose or Switzerland for Joe.

They've "speculated" Joe leaving for other teams the last 2 offseasons, then he re-signed with the Sharks and said it was the Sharks or no one. Why would it be any different now?

Come on. What if Tom Brady went to go play for the Jets (other than it being hilarious), Big Papi left for the Yankees, ect. Get it together man for real


Also, sometimes the Kurz hate gets annoying to see all the time, and then he does this and I remember he deserves it

I find a lot of fan behaviour (in sports and elsewhere) to be very annoying and childish. I just don’t have the silly “hate” for rivals that a lot of fans have.
