I think it's awesome that they want to shake up the boys' club but there's bound to be better female talents out there. Had to turn off Ducks / Devs. Can't do it.
Agree that she'd be a solid choice for color commentary, just doesn't have the spark for play by play
They should swap her and AJ Mleczko in their current spots. AJM has a “fuller” sounding voice that would work better for pbp and actually seems to know names and places. Her, I don’t think she works for color commentary at all, her voice is so freaking monotone, there’s no color. Pure “analysis” which misses the point because whT necessary analysis do they even provide? What happens in any game that doesn’t happen thousands of times a year? It’s about the color, the sound of their voice. She’s annoying in that role but I probably wouldn’t mind her doing pbp much.
Leahs voice wouldn’t sound as bad as for any other position but as pbp, messing everything up + the sound of her voice, sounding almost bored some moments, then she yells… sounds like someone took their 14 year old to bring your daughter to work day, grating yell. People seem to have liked her as a host and again she could probably do color. Put her and AJ on the same broadcast for all I care, just swap them once to see.
