Aside from her inability to not say ‘Gutsy performance.... she has to be the most Captain Obvious analyst ever. It’s like a 12 year old is providing colour.
“As you see there, the goalie couldn’t get across the crease so they scored on the side of the net that wasn’t covered.”
Gee..... thanks Cassie, my eyes don’t work, can you maybe put a blinking red circle around the area that the goalie wasn’t covering just to make it perfectly clear?

The thing is most colour commentators regurgitate the same things all the time. As do most play-by-play people, and every single player interview is the same cycle of cliches.
I've heard as many commentators, players, and coaches say gutsy performance as anyone else. However, I've also noticed when Campbell talks about the Flames, the opposition, players, the play or the game, it's confronted with an aggression and distain never reserved for others.
And this isn't targeted at you specifically, pylon. Frankly, it's really good to see you back and posting on the semi-regular. This is just a general observation I've made as a fan regularly participating in the GTs. Cassie Campbell receives far harsher criticism on this forum than any other commentator, despite making the same calls and observations as any other, despite being viewed as a 'homer' by other fanbases.
I would say I suspect the reason, but I know the reason.
