Leah Hextall fired?!?!
I've only found a little information regarding this but can someone confirm?
If true, SN is truly a joke. She's one of the few SN personalities who were great at their job. And it has nothing to do with her being attractive and female. She truly understood the game and did a great job with the Flames this year.

Think I'm a bit late with this but ESPN press release about World Cup of Hockey crew reveals Leah Hextall one of the Rogers cuts.

How do you read that as getting fired? Looks like a side-gig to me.

Well that blows. She was one of the best analysts on the regional broadcasts.

The quality of Sportsnet intermission segments are embarrassingly bad to watch. I don't see how firing Leah Hextall would improve that.

I will always respect her for calling out the NHL draft rules and the Oilers on air. Made all of her male co-analysts look pathetic.

Lord I hope not. She an excellent host that kept the talking heads in line. And wasn't afraid to flip out on some nonsense.

She was one of the bright spots and provided intelligent analysis. Rogers blows.

Maybe this is why. She had bigger balls than the rest

I was told her case was that her contract completed and she's not being renewed.
That said, hard to justify letting someone go and given a severance and then re-signing somebody who's gone without one.

I'm very bummed about this part of today's announcements.
Hopefully they find someone qualified to do the job, that's all I ask.

Pretty ridiculous if true. Two steps forward (Healy, Cox), one step back (Hextall).

Just to clarify, does anyone know if she is leaving Rogers as a whole, or if she is just no longer part of the crew for the World Cup?
