[PK Cronin]

Is whats her name going to be doing the broadcast? the worst announcer of all time?

Leah Hextall, and I sure hope not.

I hope so, only because I have a lot of podcasts to catch up on with the game on mute.

 

[JBHockey]

Leah Hextall, and I sure hope not.

That's a punch in the gut and a kick in the nuts at the same time.

 

[ekill08x]

Great opportunity to crack the top 10 on tankathon tonight. Don't blow it Isles.

 

[Big L]

Oh god. Leah Hextall? I guess i'll be playing music while watching

Wow, talk about adding insult to injury. That would be awful.

 

[PK Cronin]

Wow, talk about adding insult to injury. That would be awful.

She's the only thing worse than this season.

 

[redbull]

Leah Hextall, and I sure hope not.

we're anonymous on here, permission to speak freely.....I'm totally in favor of diversity/inclusion/equality, all that. And maybe the first "pioneers" in breaking through (be it black coaches/managers in baseball/football/hockey, women in sports/media) ------- but if they can't find someone REMOTELY competent, to the point where it's INSULTING to the 99% of fans who care, maybe don't rush this?

I've read poor Leah Hextall gets some horrific DMs from not-so-nice humans, anonymous or not, which must be awful. BUT she's truly terrible at her job.

It's too bad it's unpopular to criticize anyone's WORK because you're labelled a misogynistic a-hole or worse, so we suffer in silence and she gets attacked. She's just awful. Like if redbull lined up with Bailey-Barzal tonight, I'm pretty sure some tweets may read "what's that sexy, lean, idiot who can't skate doing on the PP" (until one bounces off my ass into the net, suckers) - and it would be deserved.

All that aside, I saw Detroit live earlier this year, in that wicked new rink. They have some really nice young players, they are turning things around fast. Seider should be what Dobson becomes - incredible player. Lost on that team for now. That Raymond kid will be a player too - but let's see if Tonelli can get these guys fired UP!

 

[The Real JT]

The Real JT night?

Isles 9
Red Wings 1

 

[BelovedIsles]

A loss is probably best for this franchise.

 

[The Real JT]

I can't wait for John Tonelli night to be replaced with Josh Bailey night.

Josh Bailey night aka Black Hole night.

That would be the first NHL game with negative attendance as virtual fans are literally transported out of the arena into the atmosphere.

So, it's watching the game at home with a paper bag on my head. Neighbors may think something odd eh? LGI!

Good strategy to have #12 shoot one off your backside. Kinda like a globetrotter trick

One thing I'm confused on though--why did you refer to old bald headed Josh as sexy and lean??

Wow, talk about adding insult to injury. That would be awful.

What to do Big L?

Turn the sound down and listen to our wives?

Remind me to take the bag off when I go for my nightly walk in my robe and slippers on muttering to the moon. This way they'll think all is status quo

Unfortunately a Leah Hextall hire reeks of an inclusion hire, and not a hire of who’s the most competent for the job. i don’t care what color you are or if you have a penis or not, I just want the best people at the job they’re hired to do.

What to do Big L?

Turn the sound down and listen to our wives?

Leah Hextall might not be that bad.

 

[NC 1972]

Wow David Reid on NHL network just said and I paraphrase Barzal can spin around all he wants but.

At we can make fun of Leah with running the risk of getting stabbed in our sleep

 

[Bones45]

Josh loves Leah.

 

[scottywiper]

I am ready to be hurt again.

 

[steveat]

Can we start this game already?

 

[scottywiper]

Lol. Four goals in second and third periods in last nine games. Wprst in NHL by eight

 

[chico19341]

Let's Go, Boys!

 

[scottywiper]

Cmon ref! No!

Im actually pissing myself laughing

 

[Not4u]

What's worse our Power Play or the ESPN broadcast?

 

[steveat]

wow...

 

[scottywiper]

This is hilarious
How does Lane still have a job
