I think Leslie (much like Loubo)...is just a sincerely kind person. Does that make him an impartial grind to the truth reporter...absolutely not. Is he the kind of person that can help players with their media image and build their trademark...something that could be a draw for players to come here and overall builds good team culture all the way to the front office...absolutely!
I think you need a couple or Ryan Leslie's in a team...but you also need some grind to the truth guys. Calgary in general has a very young crop of reporters after losing a lot of top end people. There is some good intent, but a lot of growing left to do. However I do appreciate that there is a very broad spectrum of feedback from Pinder, Francis etc on one end...guys like Steinberg in the middle and then Leslie & Loubo on the positive end.
