Speculation: Drew Remenda new color guy?

[Joey Moss]

Apparently Debrusk won't be back.

@wyshynski: I've heard it all summer; @JasonGregor writes it: Yes, the great Drew Remenda could be Edmonton's new color guy. http://t.co/AYhew9434K

Remenda would be a huge upgrade to Sportsnet Oilers broadcasts.

I really hope this rumour is true.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I'd be down for that. Remenda is a great color guy. Shame San Jose let him go.

 

[Spawn]

Meh. I was never particularly thrilled with Remenda. Not looking forward to him calling all the players by their first names/nicknames while doing the colour.

 

[dustrock]

Big improvement over Debrusk

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

where's old Louie going? I actually began to like him
Quinn on the other hand....

Remenda will be great

 

[Del Preston]

Remenda used to complain about Taylor Hall's contract whenever the Sharks would play the Oilers. What a turn of events.

I hope it's true.

I agree.. I liked Louie. Kinda sad to see him go.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

He's pretty passionate about his hockey. I personally like passion.





Simpsons quote? NICE.

 

[MCDAVIDISH]

Sad to see debrusk go but kinda excited for remenda I think he'll be great.

 

[CupofOil]

Remenda is one of the best out there so I'd be thrilled with this, the Sharks broadcasts were amongst my favorites. Louie wasn't horrible but he was just sort of blah, didn't really add much to the broadcast.
Now if they can replace Quinn with just about anybody else....

 

[McPuritania]

He was pretty anti-Oiler when he got a couple games with CBC in '06. Don't care for him. I liked Louie, Quinn stinks, but Louie is great.

 

[McAsuno]

A new DJ and new color guy? Awesome.

 

[Oiler11]

Awesome at 2:19 when they go to Ray Ratto's face, mouth agape in shock, then he realizes he's on camera.

 

[RattsSSV]

Unfortunately losing DeBrusks size and having Thin as a Pin Quinn isn't doing our lineup any good.

I, like some who have posted, liked Louie. I think he was coming into his own. That being said, Remenda is one of the best in the biz.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Remenda?

Holy what an upgrade.

 

[dustrock]

Louie seems like a great guy but come on, he didn't have much insight into what's going on.

But hey he loved his grinders and punchers. Quinn gets way better to listen to when he is sick or he has a good colour guy.

 

[Replacement*]

This was my line.

Sounds like another ass kissing homer but only more intense about it. Any moment one expects him to blow up or something. lol at his ranting attack on Vigneault. Only one of the best coaches in the business.

Seems like a typical Oilers hire.

I can here the ranting and raving about fans throwing jerseys already..

Funny thing in that one clip Ratto, whoever he was telling it like it is. Something that would actually be refreshing here.

I look forward to turning the volume off on oilers broadcasts. Anyway I can just hear the rink sounds?

Didn't really mind Debrusk. I'm not a big fan of Quinn though.

 

[40oz]

For better or worse, I'm happy to see as much outside talent coming to SN as possible.

 

[rboomercat90]

He is passionate. He also seems like a homer though. I get really sick of media guys telling me how good the Oilers are playing when what I'm watching isn't matching what they're describing. I sure hope he isn't one of those kind of guys or his act will wear thin pretty quickly.


On a side note, does anybody else think he looks like Red Foreman? I kept waiting for him to call Ray Ratto a dumb ass.

 

[McDNicks17]

San Jose's broadcast always seemed like the most neutral broadcast team to me, so I'm not sure he's a homer.

Passion or temper?

The guy has been punted from several positions and from what I'm reading its nothing new.

Does this guy always rant this much. Wow, I could get paid for this....
