I like Leah Hextall, but she's no Andi Petrillo. I jest, She's good.

I wish she'd stop saying Cal-Gary. That bugs the crap out of me. Other than that she's great; professional, knowledgeable, and well spoken.

Pretty neutral to her. Don't love her, don't hate her.

I feel like she could kick my ass. And I like that.

I've caught her hosting Hockey Central a few times too; she's way better than Millard.

Refrain from posting personal rumours. That includes broadcasters and journalists.

She's excellent, provides energy and professionalism, considering some of the stiffs they partner her with...

She doesn't make me yell at my TV like most Sportsnet employees so that's good.

I remember seeing her host the local news in back Brandon Manitoba about 8-10 years back. Even back then she was really confident/comfortable in front of the camera, not surprised at all to see how well she's done in the world.

/cool story bro

On rare occasion I see people complain that James Duthie is too ugly for them.

This. Most sportsnet panelists are awful, so she stands out in a good way.

It honestly doesn't really matter if she does or doesn't do her job well. She works for Sportsnet, which means most people watch a completely different channel between periods.

To me, she is exactly how I felt about Peter Loubardias. At first I didn't like her nasally voice, but once you get past the voice, you realize she's quite good at her job as the host.

Same thing with Loubo. Couldn't stand the "he skeeorse!" voice initially, but after getting used to it, I realized the guy is a wealth of hockey knowledge, and is quite good at what he does.

Or if you'd say it to Ron Hextall's face.

I think she's excellent. In fact, the Flames regional broadcasts are better than they've ever been. We are spoiled.
