She has no interesting anecdotes to relay from her own hockey background to help entertain between breaks in play. She could tell a story about a brusing D she went up against in the Olympics… but none of us would know what she was talking about. That’s not her fault, but it’s one less tool in her toolkit.
She also seems to go out of her way to praise the Oilers. That triggers a lot of folks around here. I assume it’s her attempt to ‘balance’ because her family works for the Flames.
Great to break the glass ceiling, and we need more women calling sports, but they should go with the ones most talented at it. Cassie Campbell is souring the well with her heavy use in a role she isn’t suited to. She may improve with time, but you shouldn’t be “learning on the job” at the NHL level.
I’d like to see more of Cassie in a panelest role where she has time to break down content. She’s excellent at that. And a classy balance to frat manchild Bieksa.
I think Singh is fantastic.

I haven't had any thanks since the game ended, but this hits the nail on the head IMO.
She is great on the panel, discussing particular plays. But she just doesn't have a feel for the flow of the game, live. Nor is she succinct enough to make her point in the finite amount of time available, before the game moves on.
Singh is great, IMO.
