I think the more legitimate problem is NBC doing them a disservice. While I can see the point of doing what they did, I don't think they set them up for success very well. My family made the comment that they were very quiet, I don't think they know the right level to project their voice at to go over the increased crowd volume that they are used to. Coyne Schofield was in the pressbox last year and wasn't ready for it, so they moved her down to ice level.You're right. That does sound sexist.
If they really want women to be successful in the pressbox for play by play or analysts, they need to make sure they are prepared because it isn't an easy job. I do think it was better than previous times. The ones that are good enough for the job need experience. And I think you can sell the public better on the national stage when they get more experience on a non-national level.
I didn't really have an issue for the quality of the content, but I did have to almost double the volume on my speakers.
