This is a problem with the HTML the page is using.  It's incorrectly detecting
Mozilla as Netscape 4.x and sending us buggy content designed to work with
Netscape 4.x only.

There is a bug open on getting them to fix it.

See Evangelism bug 56818 and bug 68949. However, I noted a strange thing, if you
download the page and replace:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://espn.go.com/insertfiles/nhl/css/pos_index.css" title="default">

with:
<style>
content from http://espn.go.com/insertfiles/nhl/css/pos_index.css
</style>

the page looks much better (columns next to each other). I believe this is a new
problem not covered by the previous bug reports.

URL seems invalid now, but the description matches bug 74194.  Mats' comments 
make this sound very much like a dup of bug 70833, since a side effect of his 
change is removing the offending title attribute.

The page now loads correctly.  The scripts in ua.js show that the site was 
evangelized.  Apparently we load the same stylesheet as MacIE and the page looks 
fine.
