Everyone in NY and LA will...and those just happen to be two of the biggest sports and entertainment cities in NA...Hype for the Rangers in NY is off the charts, can't go anywhere without hearing about them...
On top of that nobody outside of Miami wants to watch the Heat win again and nobody outside of SA small market gives a fukk about the Spurs...
NBA...
FOH... kings has been averaging over 16,000 fans a night since 1999, plus hockey been only on the west coast for less than 50 years.
love how u new yorkers run in here after getting lucky to make it the finals and talk this original 6 shyt..

False-
except for the usual suspects, ain't no one in my office/gym/circle of friends going crazy for the Rangers like that. Essentially, if you had a small inkling of interest for hockey before, you'll probably watch- but the majority of Americans still don't give a damn about the sport.
And despite everyone's attempt to slate the narrative as "NY's 1st STANLEY CUP APPEARANCE (in 20 years)" most people in the area aren't buying it. Most of us watched the Rangers WIN the cup in our lifetime, in a muuuuuch more historically significant fashion.
I expect that the ratings will be comparable to last years (which were pretty good). But they will never touch the NBA. Hell, it may not even beat the NBA pregame show

I don't even care about hockey in the slightest and here I am talking about it with you who equally doesn't give a fukk...That in and of itself should tell you the NHL is doing numbers this year...it doesn't take much to beat out the NBA, they always have weak finals numbers when LA isn't involved...
If I could bet on this I would...

this is what I was trying to say in the NHL thread. the blackhawks ratings have been through the roof locally and they were on NBC sports for the conference finals. they have had crazy ratings the last couple years, even tho I'm not a hockey watcher personally.

How about this- go to the Post, Daily News, etc... Look at the coverage at which the Rangers are being discussed. Ask yourself- they play tomorrow, but does this seem like a city excited for its team that is in a championship? How much daily coverage would the Knicks or even Nets receive if they went to the finals?
But just for numbers sake- Last year:
Chi v Bos Stanley Cup- 3.3 ratings
Miami v SA Finals- 10.4 ratings
The lowest NBA finals? 6.5 in a 2007 4-0 sweep by the Spurs.
Yea, I dont think Adam Silver is sweating the NHL too much
Who gives a shyt about ratings, NHL playoffs >>>>NBA playoffs
of course the NBA ratings will be hire. NBA promotes it's players, NHL promotes the teams
everyone want to see lebron win or lose..
if u had someone like magic johnson for the l.a. kings vs larry bird for the new york rangers, the ratings will be off the chart.
hockey playoffs are better cause there's no cut favorites
hell 90% of people knew before this nba season starts the spurs/heat will be back
