Los Angeles Desperately Loves Its Hockey

We grimace at the “the Knicks are gone, but New York still has championship hopes in … hockey?” local news, man-bites-dog coverage as much as anybody, but at least the white-white-toothed TV people here know what the Rangers’ logo looks like. Awful Announcing grabbed this screenshot from NBC’s L.A. affiliate last night from a piece about the three Staples Center teams still in the playoffs. Problem is, they chose the Sacramento Kings’ logo instead of the Los Angeles Kings’ one, despite the word Sacramento showing up in the logo along with the appearance of a basketball. (A commenter points out that the Clippers’ logo is outdated, too.) If the Kings and Rangers end up meeting in the Stanley Cup Finals — and each team is up 1-0 in their series — you can expect us to bring this up again.
