Good for her, I've always liked Leah. I'm not totally sold on her pbp based on the limited sample size, but I think she just lacks the experience and polish. Give her some experience, and I think she'll shine.

Rogers should also get Katheryn Tappen for HNIC as a host.

Leah will always be a legend for her E=NG take.
I'm happy to see this, no one deserves it more.

Norm!

She should have been given the order of canada and a life time achievement award for being the only hockey personality that wasn't afraid to call it as she saw it in terms of Edmonton.
