from Frozen Royalty,
...in response to the tremendous outcry and what appears to be pressure from the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks, FSW/PT executives Tom Feuer and Steve Simpson were in serious damage control mode on Wednesday and Thursday, stating that they will be “fixing” the rinkside view broadcasts, starting with the Kings vs. Ducks high definition telecast on Sunday, November 16.
In stories by the Daily News, Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register, Feuer and Simpson spoke of the changes viewers can look forward to starting on Sunday. Kudos to FSW/PT execs for finally listening to the fans…

I can’t think of one thing that’s united Kings and Ducks fans like hatred of Rink-Side View.
Here’s the OC Register’s poll. Last I looked, 486 people voted, and 30 liked it.
I’m not ready to give kudos just yet. Their first response to the fans was “if you don’t like it, don’t watch.” The fact that overwhelming backlash made them step back from their middle-finger-approach isn’t that impressive.
