Preseason is over.  Time to get to the real season and do it in style like only Jagr can.

2 periods and thats still better average then Mason/Helle.

Had to...had to type that

Cassie Campbell-Pascall was excellent on colour commentary last night. Knows as much as Jets fans. Hate the 2 last names though. Pick one!

And did anyone hear Ray Ferraro on 1290 the other day. That guy should be coaching.

I was thinking there will be people who don’t like a woman as commentator. But she was excellent. 

Vegas 2-0.

Fleury  0.98 goals-against average

Why are you dreading a female voice?

There's a recalculating story here somewhere.

Cassie Campbell is AWFUL on Colour. My goodness. Nobody who hasn't played in the NHL should ever be allowed to analyze the game.

That sort of eliminates an awful lot of people that analyze and cover sports for a living.  Maybe I wasnt paying close enough attention.  But I "forgot" it was a dreaded female voice after about five minutes and enjoyed her insight. 

But, when it comes to a female talent pool for that role, you're working with a small group to choose from.  Someone has to take the plunge so good for them for doing it.  Its important to do it.  And in time, it wont even be something we talk about (and the talent will increase too).

I liked her insight, didn't like her delivery.  And no, it wasn't because it was a female voice.   There are plenty of male colour guys who I don't like their delivery either.

Possible she gets better with more practice, but as it stands right now, would not want to watch another game with her doing it.

I didn't see the game with Campbell on colour.  But it is very unusual to have a non-league-veteran doing colour.... in any sport.  IMO they are there for their insider experience.

That's 100% it.... You have to have insider experience to analyze the game on TV.

On the ice, you mean?  Cause there are a million people that make their living as hockey insiders and analysts who never played pro but cultivated knowledge and sources over time.

EDIT: ok, not a million.... ;-)

They do colour?  Who?  Big difference between analyst and colour commentator.

I did.  We're talking about colour commentary.  What are you talking about?

Well considering I quoted someone who wrote '"analyze the game on TV" and asked for clarification (who wasn't you). I think the discussion was going in a perfectly polite direction.  

"The Vegas Golden Knights will play their inaugural home game tonight against the Arizona Coyotes and the team will pay respect to the victims of last week's shooting by foregoing ads on the boards and instead using #VegasStrong around the rink. "

Just the thought of a woman doing play by play for men's hockey...its just wrong. DAMN is nothing just for men anymore???
