She knew she was being given the spotlight to speak and she did it alright I guess but there are no facts. Just words and emotion. Like Corsi said, perhaps she should have a debate with Bettman or a bigwig and challenge them while on the show. Come with facts and not emotionally charged sweet nothings.

Which outstanding facts are you asking she present? Her job is to comment on news and stories relating to the hockey world, specifically the NHL. I certainly didn't listen to what she has said or supported over the last 24-48 hours and thought of them as "sweet nothings".
If the reporter who fronted the story can't get a word in edge wise without help from other journalists, what clout does Slone have to do what you've asked? Typically Bettman has one interview a year, and that's getting softer and softer at each subsequent All-Star game.
I feel like the expectations of personalities like Slone, in particular, are flawed. Them speaking out and offering support are literally the limitations of their power until they are invited to the table.
