She worked for TSN previously right? She was definitely a Jets homer on TSN basically doing PR for TNSE so it makes sense for her to work directly for them.

 

[Jets 31]

Bell / TSN not making enough money to afford Sarah, cheap bastards .

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Well, at least Sara doesn't have a No Trade Clause with Winnipeg on it.

 

[Jet]

I'd say I'll miss her fumbling and bumbling but I won't.

 

[Upperdeckjet]

Okay, now I will fight you! She is a sweetheart!
Just kidding, I won't fight you, but I I'm thinking really bad thoughts about your post.

 

[Buffdog]

Looks like maybe TNSE is aware of the cloud hanging over the organization and has some kind of plan to deal with it. Her and Brighteyes certainly put on a smilefest.

Maybe she will have a giant hand in turning the vibe around (see what I did there? hahahahha)

Like x 10

She's way better than Gene greasy hair Principe .

I wonder what her AAV is, as well as her cap hit to the team...

She was the in game host for TSN, so yes. You never hear Scott Oake or Kyle Bukaskis or any of the other in game hosts for the networks bash the team so I'm not sure why Sara is being held to a different standard.

 

[King Woodballs]

Good for her. Guess TSN is getting a full makeover for next season.
Any word on who the new PBP caller is?

 

[DannyGallivan]

Sounds like she’s still going to be on the broadcast, mainly post game. She made a point to say that she won’t be a company cheerleader either, unlike someone like Edmonds.

Not holding her to a different standard or any standard at all ... I honestly didn't even know that was her job with TSN or that they have similar people for all teams -- but it makes sense. Chalk it up to me almost never watching live broadcasts or following other teams.

 

[Stumbledore]

Given the way Bell/CTV/TSN is slashing costs these few years and has been firing anyone across the country with any longevity (remember Gord?), it's a smart move for Sara to jump ship when she has such a great opportunity.

CTV National News has become unwatchable. I suspect TSN is going down the same hole soon.

 

[bustamente]

Out before the next round of Bell cuts, good move for her to be a part of her hometown team, apparently she likes it here

Giant hand. I see what you did there

................and yet Jay Onrait still has a job

Fair enough, tone is often hard to figure out on an online forum.

 

[SLAYER]

................and yet Jay Onrait still has a job

Before Jay and Dan left for Fox Sports they were the best content on TSN. Their podcast was also excellent prior to their departure.

In all honesty, I haven't had cable TV since 2015 and don't miss it one bit. Now I almost never see SportsCenter, unless it's after a Jets game.

 

[WaveRaven]

So finally an NHL related signing

 

[heretik27]

I honestly wasn't really paying any attention because I thought she already worked for the Jets organization since she was always on our broadcasts interviewing our players

Good for her though!

 

[10Ducky10]

180k?

 

[CorgisPer60]

Good for Sara to get her bag, but I can't help but wonder if this is part of a restructuring effort by Bell Media. Lisa La Flamme was recently let go by Bell Media, and we _still_ have no word on a replacement for Dennis Beyak. Are they going to rotate PBP people? Remote in? We saw that they used remote/away feeds for the US teams during the playoffs in an effort to save costs.
