I say Thumbs Down, big time. Although the change is a good idea, it just seems too busy. It's full page now, but just cuttered and looks disorganized. What do you guys think?

The main page looks like crap, but the TSN NHL still looks normal.

Thumbs down. No visual hierarchy. All the titles are red on white or off-white, and there is very little size differential. Columns 2 and 3 are too close in terms of size--two should be the clearly dominant column.

It's cluttered and they are trying to include way too much on the home page. Thumbs down.

So, now the TSN main page looks like the ESPN page.

It doesn't bother me as I only go to the NHL and hockey pages anyway.

Well TSN is essentially ESPN jr.
Sites look very similar, can't say I like the new TSN look. Too cluttered, looks like they are trying to fit WAY too much onto one page.

I hate it. I share all the complaints above.

But, the thing I hate the most is all of scripted advertising. Granted, they will always have advertising, but because all the adds move or play video, it is almost impossible to focus your eyes on anything of substance.

brutal, one reason why i never go to espn.com is because there is too much stuff going on at once. you get bogged down just from a quick glance.

the layout before was perfect. clean, simple, and spaced out. bad choice in trying to go espn style. i hate it.

thing is each column is almost the exact same size. so you don't really get that true centre piece which should be the top headlines. that garbage on the far right is stupid. TSN, you don't have espn motion, so there's no need for a third frickin column with garbage spam to more articles that i'll never read! how bout subbing that last column for a live scoreboard or something, my god. boils my blood as tsn is usually the 1st site i check out in the morning, and i g2 wake up to this garbage

It's almost exactly the same as to where everything is located... but what a cluster **** of colors and graphics... One thumb up though. Not that bad.

It looks horrible. I don't know why they felt the need to change it.

Even Sportscenter has changed it's look to something similar to the website.....to make things look more futuristic or what?
But I can't rag on Sportscenter, espcially when Jennifer Hedger is showing me highlights.

I've been checking out SI.com... great layout, awesome information on the big 3. They even have a news and rumours section, which I love.

Unfortunatly... no CHL, no CFL, and NHL takes a backseat. But dig for it, and you'll find it's there.

Did TSN the channel change anything? I was watching the Jays highlights and usually it will just show the score at the end but instead they cut to information on the stats, score on a different screen like the score.
