Remenda or DeBrusk?

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

I'm not sure how many games Remenda is slated to commentate this year but I find him almost unbearable. The last 2 games without him have been refreshing. Even my wife thinks he's a turd and she has very little interest in hockey. If I had my way it would be DeBrusk 100% for the rest of the season. A poll to see if a majority of people agree with me.

I Googled the schedule for Remenda/DeBrusk this year but didn't come up with much. Maybe somebody can share that information if they have it.

Side Note: Gene is a weird dude also but his level of cringe is so over the top that it is entertaining to watch him embarrass himself. He can stay.

Good. Maybe SportsNet will notice!

Extremely unpopular opinion for this board but I prefer Remenda* by a fair bit. I appreciate a guy that is actually willing to be critical of the Oilers which you just don't get from Louie.

*Provided the Oilers opponent for the evening isn't San Jose

I'd rather LDB's neutral calm and easy to listen to voice and his smart consistent and relaxed commentary, than Remendas screechy nasally sounding voice and weird and outright wrong/bad takes.

I like DeBrusk more. Remenda is just too negative for me. He also gushes about the other teams players too much. I can handle Remenda when the team actually isnt playing well, but I find even when they are playing well, hes too much of a downer to enjoy.

About to be the most lopsided poll in HF history.

Okay I try my best to be open minded about other opinions but if you like Remenda more you're just wrong. I don't care if this is a personal opinion thing. Remenda's criticisms aren't even interesting ever. It's always some dumb shit like 'oh McDavid really should've got that backcheck' WHILE MCDAVID IS ON THE BENCH. Dude has less useful opinions on Oilers games than an HF Flames poster.

Louies voice is actually nice to listen to, he has useful insights from his playing background, he ACTUALLY SHUTS UP to let the play unfold, and he isn't obsessed with pretending to be the smartest guy in the room.

This.

It's like asking if I was going to compare Marty Reasoner to a former Colorado Avalanche player who would I compare him to? Stephane Yelle or Joe Sakic? Sure, there'll be the occasional MacTavish who picks Sakic, but any competent person is going to pick Yelle.

I had to look up what Chlamydia was.

Yeah, I take Apple Pie all day long.

Everyone misses Ray Ferraro but until the NHL media contract gets renegotiated we should be happy to have DeBrusk. Where the hell is he??

I don't dislike DeBrusk at all, but we were blessed with Quinn/Ferraro.

TSN and NBC. I think he does the odd HNIC game as well?

Remenda's criticisms aren't even my problem with him.

I just can't stand how he tries to explain the most basic things, but with a tone like he's basically invented it and the viewers would never understand.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

The results are actually closer than I thought they would be.

 

[joestevens29]

The way Sportsnet is going I won't be shocked if they get rid of everyone except the play by play guys.

That's his California time showing through. You may need to dumb the game down for those markets but certainly not for a Canadian market.

Debrusk is Neal. Remenda is Lucic.

Ok. Other than Remenda, which dope voted for Remenda?

That and he has very limited knowledge of the team, like less then most fans, he was just explaining last game about “our draft pick” Persson

FYI, get ready for Remenda tomorrow because Louie does all of the late HNIC games.
