No mention of the KO or retribution for a dirty headshot. Hmm...

Yeah, it's pretty blatant which way they lean.
It's one thing to pump the tires of McDavid as fans of the game - I think on some level one can look past that - but its another to be quietly peddling pro-Oilers headlines on your game highlights as a national provider for all Canadian fanbases.
Everyone saw Ritchie and Khaira as a straight up KO, and yet it's Neal crunching his own hand on Tkachuks helmet like a moron that somehow qualifies as a "take down" to these losers. Go figure.
I wish we got a TSN deal. That cesspool of oiler and leaf people could do their cheerleading all they want on their own network that I would happily never watch.
