She’s done as play by play right?

I saw her interviewing guys behind the bench and in the tunnel during a game the other day

Are you kidding? I always hated hearing him, especially the may day may day may day call. Lots of people didn't like listening to him.

People acting like there is only hate toward her, when other pbp or colour guys get complained about all the time. She is bad and it isn't just her voice.

The fact that people will still defend her after that blows my mind. I'll bet she gets nominated for some type of broadcaster of the year award.

Ken Daniels' goal call sounds like someon dumped boiling water down his back.
Hextall's phrases are a bit odd. She gets repetitive sometimes.
And, she has a tendency to really blow names sometimes.

But, i think she does a nice job matching the pace/excitement of the game.

The most powerful Jedi would not be able to pull off a mind trick that Leah’s annoyingly cringey commentary commentary is “all in your head”. Sure, it is possible to watch a game without literally collapsing and having a migraine, and you if you are accomplished in meditation you can get through a game with her just fine. However, I am pretty sure ESPN even knows she is bad. When someone who was clearly hired because of their family connections to the league, gets shifted out of commentating so quickly, people know it is not working out.
 
Last weekend she was at ice level for the Penguins-Blues and they allowed her to talk on the broadcast. Seizing this opportunity she made two points; she said 1) the reason the Blues were going 11-7 in that game was the waiver pickup of Kapanen (LOL ????) and 2) that Toropchenko's ice time had increased 15% after he went from 11 to 14 minutes. That is false on its own terms, but when a minute or so later ESPN put up a graphic showing his ice time went from 10:38 to 14:21 it made it even more embarrassing.

She is a turnip with hair.

I saw a game with her for the first time on Saturday. I don't know why she's in broadcasting. She talks very strangely.
