Even opposing teams’ fans got in on complimenting Hahn and Remenda’s ability to call a game.
“Vibes are incredibly high in San Jose, despite the kind of seasons they’ve been having. I’ve really enjoyed tuning into their games,” complimented an out-of-market Utah Mammoth fan.
Sharks fans were drawn to Hahn and Remenda despite the quality of play on the ice.
“The best compliment I can give Randy and Drew is that during the 2023-24 season, they were one of the main reasons I continued to tune in to Sharks hockey because the on-ice product certainly wasn’t a reason to keep watching,” a Sharks fan commented to The Athletic.
