P.K Subban Says NBA Superstars Lack Pride And Effort "What are they playing for?"

[Lucky_Lefty]

The Stanley Cup Final got off to a thrilling start, but the ratings for Game 1 of the Panthers-Oilers rematch were less than stellar.

Wednesday’s Panthers-Oilers NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 1 averaged a 1.2 rating and 2.42 million viewers across TNT and truTV, marking the lowest rated and least-watched Game 1 of the Cup Final since the COVID-delayed Canadiens-Lightning on NBCSN in 2021 (0.8, 1.61M). Excluding the two COVID-altered seasons, it was the least-watched Game 1 since Penguins-Red Wings on Versus in 2008 (2.35M).

Isn’t that a bit of misrepresentation since Canadian ratings aren’t factored in?

Maybe but advertisers don't care about that.


Canadian TV ratings for the Stanley Cup Finals, specifically the Oilers-Panthers series, have surged, with Game 1 drawing 4 million viewers and Game 2 reaching 4.2 million.

None of those other years factored in Canadian ratings and this is not the 1st time a Canadian team made it to the Finals.

PK back at it , LeBron could easily be a high level hockey player if he learned to skate and puck handle at a high level. A lot of LeBron’s BB IQ as a passer and playmaker could translate. Don’t get me wrong skating is a very difficult skill to learn, but beyond that I don’t think any high level athlete in the NBA or NFL couldn’t do well if they learn the intricacies

They're really running out of content

The NHL has had a bigger viewership decline this season than the NBA.

Damn

Who is their face of the league?

When will they contract all the small market teams?

The league got soft once Gretzky retired, i stopped watching

Man can't keep LeBron's name out of his mouth.

Just asking cause iirc, this was an argument used during the GS/Raps series when folks who cared about ratings for whatever reason were bringing up that caveat

So does Stephen A only bring him on First Take to take shots at the NBA and/or LeBron? Don’t watch that show but that’s the only time I ever see clips floating around

But but LeBron should take a pay cut

His name generates billions even in a negative context



They going to go down once LeBron retires


It’s gonna be brutal


Because wtf is this?

Did they ask P.K. About the awful rating for the Stanley Cup Finals?

Of course they didn't, I can't even think of a time First Take talked about hockey on the show ever.
