No more Kurz?!?!?!
Pompous d-bag and consistent smartest man in the room type.Visiting from Isles HF to ask what you all thought of Kurz.
It's a Christmas miracle!As posted in NHL News thread and Sharks News thread, Kurz is going to NYC to cover Islanders. Goldman going full time to cover Devils.
Corey has been fan of Bay Area/Sharks for more than half a decade. He's in town soon to find place to live.
You will enjoy his writing as it pertains to person centric kinds of stories because he can paint a picture.Visiting from Isles HF to ask what you all thought of Kurz.
There were kind of three Sharks writers.
- Sheng Peng (SJ HockeyNow) = Beloved and insightful.
He posts on the forum. You can learn a lot about him by just reading his interactions here.Visiting from Isles HF to ask what you all thought of Kurz.
If you can take a joke and a little snark he's a great writer. People here got their undies in a bunch when he was snarky back to people constantly telling him he's shit at everything he does.Visiting from Isles HF to ask what you all thought of Kurz.
This is a total misrepresentation of his relationship with fans. Fans and writers disagree all the time. Kurz chose a profession and subsequent jobs that are often met with public criticism. He could’ve been professional and stayed above the noise but he went out of his way to mock fans who disagreed with him or who he disagreed with. Pretending he didn’t create his legacy here is disingenuous.If you can take a joke and a little snark he's a great writer.

His actual hockey write ups from an assessment and strategic point of view are questionable and if you question them, he acts as though he is the best hockey mind ever to grace your organization.
tldr : he won't be missed
We hate him lol. He writes good "human interest" stories and stuff like that but he's pretty useless for everything else like hockey analysis, scoops, beat reporting.Visiting from Isles HF to ask what you all thought of Kurz.
I'm in the minority in that I think you need both heels and faces in the media for the lulz
Kurz would regularly get nuclear heat
Unrealistic to have this all the time, but although he wasn't a beat-writer, what stood out for Brodie for example was that he grew up as a Sharks fan. Sure you need some impartiality as a writer, but felt like Kurz was never a fan and really just doing this because he had to. Definitely won't be missed.
