[Peter James Bond II]

Kings looking good!
Meanwhile, in Ontario: Taylor Ward has 2 assists, 1 shot and +3 in the 3-2 lead....all in the 1st.
Ward assisted on Frk and Tynan's goals, both even strength.
He's already tied Akil Thomas...25 games 2 assists. Ward: 4 periods, 2 assists.

There are probably some young girls who are watching this game. Leah Hextall is someone they can identify with. Not everything is for adult men.

Whoever the lady is doing play by play on ESPN + is awful.

She sounds like she's reading the phone book, completely bored sounding

that's fine, she's also just bad at her job

I don't know what everyone's problem is with this broadcast.

At least it gives everyone something else to bitch about besides it being pride night.

No, no it’s not.

You can’t tell me that there isn’t a better option than Leah out there though, she is completely awful.

 

[deaderhead28]

I’m literally debating if I should just watch it on mute

I was debating this myself.

 

[kingsboy11]

Probably the best period we've had all month, don't let up

Shame she's not a better announcer for those girls to look up to

Boy isn't this the TRUTH.

 

[Bandit]

If the Kings keep playing like this Leah hextall can replace Faust for all I f***ing care. Kings are up 3-0. Priorities.

Can't ask for too much more from the Kings, fantastic period

 

[Telos]

I want to like Leah. But she is an iffy broadcaster. Dunno if time will fix it or not, but her style seems a little off. Clearly she means a lot to the sport in the sense of being a barrier breaker, but I feel like there have to be better female options out there.

 

[tny760]

"forsberg tries........ to stickhandle that"

as forsberg shoots between his legs and narrowly misses

that's why i have a problem with this broadcast

Don't care, she sucks

She isnt great, but compared to the early season broadcast we had her for, she has seriously improved since the year began.

Join me. Stream is 9 seconds behind the radio feed. It's surreal.

I do feel like she has gotten better. I haven't listened to many of her broadcasts...but it does appear that she has gotten better.

 

[Telos]

This I would definitely agree with. She isn't as bad as when I first heard her at the start of the season. I think she is knowledgeable, but her tone is off and her jittery playcalling is distracting.

 

[crassbonanza]

I think Leah is pretty knowledgeable and I like her insights more than most things I hear on the sportsnet broadcasts, but her tone just doesn't fit. The tough thing for me is that it feels like she took advise on how to sound as a play by play person and she seems almost lacking in personality because of it. She has loosened up a bit as the season has progressed, but yeah it's still not great. That being said, give me her over Faust any day of the week.

 

[Trash Panda]

Solid first 20 from the kids, lots of fire being shown from unexpected sources.

Can’t let Nashville back in this, gotta string together a few consistent periods.

she'd probably be fine on color or reporting, she just can't keep up with the pace of the game on PBP. is what it is
