Part of being in the media is accepting criticism. That being said, I find the specific comments about her to be over the line sometimes. One poster was suspended last night for a lewd and misogynistic comment. Another made a similar remark.
That makes us as Flames fans, and this community, look really bad. No need for that garbage.

Well said Jiri. I agree with this sentiment, doing colour can’t be easy. I think she had a rough night last night especially and it is probably even tougher trying to do it all off a monitor. That said, I have two hockey playing girls who are up to speed on her achievements and contributions and idolize her. I would like to see her stick with an analyst role, I agree I think she is wired for that.
