So Leah Hextall has been the Flames Sportsnet regional host for 2 seasons now.

Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on her. Interview style, interaction with the panel, hockey knowledge, Flames passion and dare I say, looks?

My personal opinion is she's a well thought out host who knows the game quite well. I believe she coined the phrase last season "come back kids & heart attack / cardiac kids" it was used frequently throughout the year last year. She never tries to "out do" the panel members and her interview questions are for the most part fair, balanced and insightful. Her hockey knowledge is decent given her family history background. I also find her attractive with good style.

Who are some of the other hosts that the other Canadian teams have? I know David Amber does hosting for the Edmonton Oilers. I don't have others Sportsnet channels so I don't know who does the Canucks games? I believe the Jets are a TSN property as are the Leafs. I am not sure who has the rights or the other Canadian teams.

Thanks

P.S Does anyone else have issues when they go to post a message or a new thread where the site doesn't actually post the message? Sometimes if I take a few minute to type a message I will go post and I will get logged out and my message wont get posted. I sometimes find I have to copy the message prior to posting and then if I run into the issue I paste and then post right away. Just something I have come across probably a dozen times or so. Thanks
