This is probably accurate. Yet I don’t particularly like her and I like Hrudey, mainly because I like a team with rapport like he and Ball have. I think, as a colour analyst he provides “colour” more, where she provides “analysis”.
The complaints about Cassie are over the top and a lot seem contrived justifications, especially where they are the same things others do without comment. The one complaint I find accurate is that she seems to come prepared with a few things she expects to talk about and she ends up shoehorning them into the conversation.
I do find commentary to be the second oddest thing people complain about (I barely notice it). The first is picture quality because I swear I don’t see a difference.
