TSN's Kings Preview Not a bad read...Only part I took exception with was this line.....
On defence, after the free-wheeling Johnson was dealt away and the defensive minded Sutter was brought aboard....
Because we all remember how entertaining Terry Murrays wide open run and gun style was right?

I like how TSN is not even trying to be unbiased. The front page is a group shot of the 7 Canadian teams. Not the Kings who won the friggin Cup for the first time. No, just more bias to the East and to Canada.
Ya, I get the fact that they are a sports-news agency out of Canada, and they have to apeal to their demo, but the last time any of those teams won the Cup was in 93. I just think it's lame.
The article was ok, btw...

Now go away.
In TSN's defense, which team is featured at the bottom of the page? THE DEFENDING STANLEY CUP CHAMPION LOS ANGELES KINGS!Originally Posted by daxx

That's becuase it's a screen shot of the Kings preview page. If you click the link in the original post, you can click on any of the 30 teams under the "CHOOSE A TEAM" header and get a similar looking page with that team's info being "featured at the bottom of the page."
That picture of Henrik Sedin makes me want to punch my monitor....
Just now, I went to the main TSA website (TSN Sports News & Headlines | Score Results, Standings | Schedules) and clicked on 2012-2013 season preview. The team at the bottom was THE DEFENDING STANLEY CUP CHAMPION LOS ANGELES KINGS (that phrase won't get old anytime soon, which is why I put in in caps). It sure seems the Kings were the default team listed.
