It's especially frustrating when the 1st and 4th lines have awful shifts and don't get the same treatment. Which has happened A LOT this year.
Right, like Ovie is always on top of his game and goes hard in the corners and back checks all the time.Is it? It's one thing for the 1st and 4th lines to get beaten on their shift, dominated, hemmed in, whatever....it's a completely different thing when your loafing leads directly to a bad goal for the opposition.

And I might take less aggressive play over Dowd's penalties.
Alexa seems clueless at times. She repeats what one person on the panel says and then follows it as a theme segment with rest of the panel. Alexa doesn't offer her own ideas and it can be annoying at times. Ashooh, is a "think outside the box" person, which I like because he kind of reminds me of me a bit as a person. He actually makes valid points from time to time, but it goes beyond common sense. He's a bit of the entertaining personality in the panel. This might sound sexist, but as long as Alexa looks pretty with her hot date outfits then I can mostly tolerate her. If they are planning to stick with her long term, hopefully she grows into her own and actually learns to have her own ideas a bit. If not, then viewers will get quickly tired of her besides her looks.I'm sure Ashooh and Alexa will grow into their roles. I dont remember what Carlin was like when he first started, but its still really early for them.

Already tired of her. When I want "looks" I don't tune in to a hockey game, I go to other sites When I watch hockey I want knowledgeable talent without annoying personalities.. Alexa is neither of those.

relief.What even is that?
Alexa is a noob to hockey and it shows. The more she does the show and follows the Caps, the more (hopefully) she'll know when to interject her own ideas and original thoughts. Someone else said it best before, but as of this moment she's just very robotic. And that's pretty natural being thrust into something that you are totally unfamiliar with. But at least she keeps the discussion going and maybe she'll lose some of the rigidness as she gets comfortable. Spending time with the same people over and over does breed familiarity and that is the best way to lose edges.
Ashooh is actually knowledgeable like you say, just an oddball. I think he's trying too hard to take the Stephen A Smith role where he tries to insert (what he thinks) is witty dialogue or presents his idea in some grandiose kind of way. Makes him look like a condescending expert who doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. I guess kind of like Stephen A Smith haha. Or like he's on Around the Horn on ESPN. But in those moments where he seems truly deep in thought or reflective, he loses that image or mask whatever. It makes him totally relatable and you can take what he says a lot more easier. Although it loses some of the non-topic entertainment value haha. I like genuine humor though, organic laughs.
The best part of the post-game show is not watching it. Why torture yourself? I'm somewhat curious of what May has to say, but why jump on that grenade when there's stacks of hot takes on HF?
A completely nervous giggle. “Don’t be mad at me Ovy!!!!”What even is that?
Please fix the typeface of the numbers tho. Pleeeeease. It’s like the worst elements of 90s design preserved.The screaming eagle sweater is just the shit, I hope they can keep it around as an alternate for a few years. It really looks great imo
Isn't Alexa more like the "moderator" in the Caps pre and post game shows? She is there to keep the discussion in line amongst the panel and not really interject with her own analysis.

. That kind of skill and familiarity takes time.
