HKSR Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just saw this and thought it was hilarious. I thought with the Leafs out of the playoffs, we'd finally get to the end of the Toronto Sports Network for this year... but nope, on the eve of the beginning of Round 2, here's what the TSN.ca website looks like: That top story is about McDavid and Draisatl, but the rest belong to the centre of the universe.

Xbox Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It's what gets them the most hits whether you like it or not. If you don't like TSN why do you follow them or use their website? That's what makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks.brad Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 What would you like to see instead? The Leafs just go eliminated and today was locker clean up day. Canucks looking to hire Green isn't great news anyways lol and not official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon it's alright to have one story about the leafs but to have 9 on the front page when both Edmonton and Ottawa are still in the playoffs is just asinine. There's also the NBA playoffs, NFL draft, CFL training camp(I couldn't type that with a straight face lol) and a slew of other sports stories to be covered.

That's a little overkill, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was all that since it was "hot"/breaking news. It is more of a mix now. NBA playoffs I can see, but NFL draft and CFL training camp to TSN probably doesn't generate a lot of clicks. Remember, all the video clips would have just been cut by TSN so at the time of the above screenshot, they were the newest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The Province sports writers are no better than those monkeys on TSN. Nothing good to say about the Canucks and rave reviews about the Leafs. Even in today's paper, there's an article titled "Budding contender blossoms out east". So, I'm guessing there will be articles all summer about the upcoming Leafs season, and how close they came to winning it all. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I almost never use the website, but I have similar feelings about the channel. Years ago when it started, it was exciting to have a new source for televised games. It's fine that the Leafs get more games shown, being the biggest market, but I never felt that the representation of games were proportional, and clearly the commentary wasn't. So, while more games were added to the schedule (back when we were lucky to have half the games televised), the experience wasn't near as good. And, IIRC we didn't have a choice: it was part of our cable bills. TSN.com is just an extension of this centrist behavior, and I'm curious if it would be a better business model to serve the rest of the country better than they currently do. There are more people outside ON than in, but I guess some of those dufuses are Leaf fans too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 So TSN is a giant self-pleasuring aid for Leafs fans, thats nothing new. The only thing that annoys me is when they call themselves "Canada's Team" which is complete crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a simple case of Toronto arrogance shining through. I can totally understand the dislike for Toronto in this market. Much like English arrogance in sport.

Absolute disgrace. This is why I will never cheer for the leafs no matter what the scenario is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
