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.

This... a thousand times. When she is on the panel with Hrudey and Bieksa, i think she is a huge part of it.
When she is doing color commentary? She should be no where near it. She talks about things that are irrelevant to what is happening, are not happening at all, and about players that are not on either team....during the play.
World class hockey hall of fame player and builder.
Really good TV analyst during breaks.
Awful color commentator that takes away from the game instead of adding to it.
I feel the exact same way about Kelly Hrudey as well.
