Someone may want to- plenty of home games left and turns out the team is pretty darn good!!

Beat it. The PBP is just as much a part of the viewing experience as the product on the ice.

If they suck they suck.

And “bad look on the fan base” really?

I’d argue she is a bad look for the fan base because of how awful she is at her job.

By the way, nothing to do with her gender, just her skill at her job

2 minutes to go and Johnny is balls out backtracking....

Pretty amazing transformation by Darryl.

...and kudos to Johnny.

[getbak]

1 point out of first and still 3 games in hand.

[Mathgod]

You can put it into the win column.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Not gonna lie guys, I don’t think I have ever been this excited about this team.

[Bunk]

Ok, now give Marky a night off!

viewing? and here I thought you listened to the PxP....

[djsFlames]

Why does saying
Markstrom for Vezina
Sutter for Jack Adams
Gaudreau for Hart
Linholm for Selke
not feel obnoxious?

(Realistically though maybe 2 of those)

Just another incredibly strong performance. They don't have the sustained lulls, or full periods taken off, that were a hallmark of seasons past. They also just took the lead and held the lead while giving up basically nothing. Flames teams of the past would often work to get the lead only to take their foot off the gas and let the team back in.

This is a strong strong group.

"Beat it" because a colour commentator doesn't ruin my enjoyment of a good hockey game where my team is dominating? I'm sorry you're so easily upset.

This is no longer the “cardiac kids” under Hartley. They are playing such disciplined and structured hockey.

Its a mental transformation.

A positive feedback loop.

Darryl has managed to create self-sustaining hunger to play the right way regardless of adversity in the top players.

I agree she's not great at PBP, but I think Kevman's point is that the moaning about it is continuous. There's no need to constantly repeat the same thing over and over.

Like, does anyone think that anybody at Sportsnet is listening?
Its a bad look because it's just stupid complaining. Waste of bandwidth.

Good work man, completely move the goalposts of our argument

Agree that it won't change anything and the comments get repetitive. Disagree that it makes the fan base look bad.

This site's users can't be all that different in their opinion of her than the majority of listeners.

There was a dedicated thread that got disappeared a while back. It was better to have the conversation there so it didn't fill the game threads.

And what goal posts would those be? I agreed with SutterBrother politely asking to focus on the game and not the commentary. You responded by saying "beat it". My response to you was that I'm not bothered by the commentary during a very good flames game and that was moving the goal posts?

And maybe "look bad" was a poor choice of words but when there are so many great things to talk about during that win and this win streak I think the constant complaining about Cassie gets a little old.
