Personally I think Campbell is a downgrade on Hrudy, but he sets the bar pretty high so being worse than him isn't being worse than average. I don't mind Cassie although she definitely ruined the call on Backlund's goal last night considering I never thought the puck hit a Flames player on the bench (just based on its trajectory you could tell it bounced off the dasher). Great goal, bad call. I'd like to see the Bruins' call.
I would call Cassie Campbell an average color commentator. If we have criticisms, which Jiri did outline, I think we should forward those to her constructively as I'm sure she would like to improve.
