Is There a Worse Announcer Than Cassie Campbell?

[thaman8765678]

Every game she announces it is mistake after mistake and fumbling over simple sentences. I know she did alot for womens hockey but enough is enough, she is painful to listen to.

I honestly don't know a single person who can stand listening to her so why is she still on?

I don't mind her at all

I don't mind her at all

You're probably the only one.

Eh I prefer Kelly Hrudey but I don’t mind her as much as other people do.

 

[KidLine93]

She's brutal. I'm guessing they are having her on to try and get a larger female audience. There are many commentators who are more knowledgable/ better on air than she is so I don't see why else they would have her on the broadcast.

[Whoot Whoot]

she has like 1/3rd of the vocabulary needed to be an competent announcer

 

[Langdon Alger]

I used to hate her, but I think she’s getting better. That doesn’t make her good though.

 

[CherryToke]

I like her as an analyst

 

[Langdon Alger]

I like her as an analyst and that's about it

as opposed to liking her as an accountant?

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

She's not a good color commentator, she's mediocre as a panel analyst.

she's bad but not the worst in my opinion.

Instead of an announcer calling the game I mean. She's too monotone for my liking but it works fine as an analyst reporting on stuff.

 

[Oil53]

I agree,turn off the sound when she’s part of the crew

 

[thaman8765678]

Like today a good example:

Flames score a goal and we hear her "it shouldn't have counted! It shouldn't of counted it hit a player!"... multiple replays show it hitting the boards and not a player and finally on the 4th replay she sees it hitting the boards.

This is beyond painful to listen to. If I didn't like Rick Ball so much I would mute the TV.

She is horrible but fits in well with Sportsnet

Reminder: Disliking her commentary does not mean you hate women.

She's brutal. I'm guessing they are having her on to try and get a larger female audience. There are many commentators who are more knowledgable/ better on air than she is so I don't see why else they would have her on the broadcast.

Her husband is the Flames assistant GM. Don’t worry, there’s no conflict of interest there.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

With her it’s not even about the mistakes and more about the tone of her voice which makes her awful.

then its the mistakes afterward she treats everything so serious and acts nervous 24/7 it’s actually distracting.

Also her being married to the assistant flames GM
Like the guy said above hurts with obvious bias. But colour guys are usually biased, John Garrett for the Canucks is easily the most biased colour guy (I know the bruins PBP guy is but I mean colour guy) and the oilers guy remenda? I think is up there too when it comes to that so all
Three kind of suck.

 

[RalphKing]

I really dislike Ramanda or whatever his name is

 

[Goose]

Yeah, pretty much this. She will likely get better though.

 

[JerseyMike34]

"Campbell is married to Brad Pascall, an assistant general manager of the NHL's Calgary Flames."

I can't listen to her do Flames games. At no point to I believe her to be unbiased.

 

[DJJones]

I would rather listen to the Away broadcast than her.

 

[YakDavid]

Did anyone catch what she said about why Gustafsson was traded and such? I thought I heard her say something about how he got played less on the powerplay throughout the season because they were worried about how much he'd demand on his contract and they wanted more young players playing. If this is true this is terrible player management since they were sellers. Hawks fans is this true or not?

Not sure, she is in what her second year? Not much difference from when she started.

Don't worry most Flames fans hate her too.
