LA vs NY two biggest markets. Any other sport this would be rating crusher but NHL dont know. What you guys think?
Los Angeles may rank ahead of Chicago in terms of city population, but the Blackhawks would give a much bigger boost to television ratings. When the Kings won the Stanley Cup in 2012, they generated the lowest ratings in five years. Last year, Chicago won the most-watched Stanley Cup Final in recorded history.
Game 7 of the Kings/Blackhawks NHL Western Conference final earned a 3.2 overnight rating on NBCSN Sunday night, the highest overnight ever for an NHL telecast on the network — including the Stanley Cup Final. The previous high was a 3.1 for Game 3 of last year’s Stanley Cup Final between the Blackhawks and Bruins.
Sadly, yes....u mean to tell me folks about to come out the woodworks to watch hockey.....something they havent watched all year or ever
As a Ranger fan I would've liked to have seen Chi in the finals. Would've been 2 of the original 6 in finals.Blackhawks are the biggest draw for the NHL.

I don't give a fukk as long as the Kings beat them motherfukking rangers asses for the next 2 weeks and bring the trophy back to L.A.
It could be close but i doubt it. .

you got a point there. But the rangers haven't been to the finals in 20 years. I think they might draw some ratings just off their market.dog are you serious? NHL is just above a Niche sport..
