So very unhappy with the feed on tonight’s NHL game @sportsnet. It glitched dozens and dozens of times! Do better @sportsnet.

@kbieksa3 I really like you but Elliott was right: it’s an Edsel. Just go back to the 3-day look. ❤️

Let’s talk about Hazel Mae, the heart and soul of Sportsnet’s Blue Jays coverage.
As someone who’s spent my entire career in broadcasting, I can say without hesitation: Hazel is a legend. She’s the gold standard—poised, professional, and unflinchingly dedicated to delivering for us, the fans. But last night in New York, after the Jays’ thrilling series-clinching win over the Yankees, she endured something unacceptable. Picture this: the postgame show in the heart of the Blue Jays’ locker room, champagne exploding everywhere like a victory geyser. It’s live television, pure chaos and celebration, and Hazel’s right in the thick of it—drenched head to toe, microphone in hand, interviewing the players who’d just punched their ticket deeper into October. With every bubbly assault, she’d start her questions the same way: “You’re LIVE on Sportsnet.” It was her subtle, classy signal—guys, keep it clean; we’re on the air. A lifeline tossed into the frenzy. Most of the players got the memo... eventually. But Kevin Gausman? He turned it into a full-on barrage. F-bombs raining down like confetti, zero filter, zero regard. “We’re not done yet, we’re fcking fired up... I don’t give a sht. We’re f*cking going, let’s go.” Live. On. TV. It wasn’t just unprofessional—it was a blatant dismissal of the woman holding the mic. Let me break it down for you from the other side of the camera: When you’re a broadcaster, live and unscripted, and your interview subject unleashes a string of expletives, your stomach doesn’t just drop—it plummets. That split-second freeze? It’s panic, pure and raw. You’re scanning the control room in your mind, wondering if the delay caught it, if the censors bleeped it, if you’re the one fielding the boss’s call at 2 a.m. Not the guy who let loose. You’re the face of the network, the buffer between the raw emotion and the audience at home. And in that moment, Hazel wasn’t just interviewing; she was surviving a storm she didn’t start.What stings even more? These players—Gausman included—weren’t even a glimmer in anyone’s eye when Hazel began carving out her legacy in Canadian sports. She’s been chronicling this game, this team, through decades of highs and heartbreaks, earning her stripes long before they laced up their first cleats. To treat her like that? It’s not just disrespect; it’s a betrayal of the mutual respect that should anchor every athlete-reporter exchange. Kevin Gausman, and frankly a handful of others who piled on, owe Hazel a massive, heartfelt apology. Publicly. Not a half-hearted DM, but a real acknowledgment of the pro she is and the ground she’s held for all of us. Blue Jays nation, let’s amplify this—because Hazel deserves better, and so do we.
