NHL and the media, part 2

Last week I took screenshots of my two favorite sports sites', CBS and Sporting News, main page from Monday through Friday and in the morning - the first thing a sports fans see when they open the site. After my survey of sorts I'm glad I have the NHL page at each bookmarked. Because as the results below show, the NHL is lost in the shuffle.
The NHL was not featured in the primary location with a big photo on the left hand side of the page on either site last week. Only the Sporting News featured the NHL in its secondary location, above the links on the right hand side, and that was just one day. Most upsetting is Friday's showing, seven games the night before and neither site had a link to even one of the games.
