[dash]

'cause I know you can't get enough of that wonderful Duff...

NEW YORK – June 7, 2010—Last night’s Stanley Cup Final posted the best overnight rating for a non-overtime Game 5 in eight years. The game generated a 4.0 overnight rating and 7 share, the best for a non-OT Game 5 since 2002 (4.5 on ABC, Carolina-Detroit).

Game 5 featured Chicago defeating Philadelphia, 7-4, with the largest winning margin of the series. The 4.0 overnight is up 54 percent vs. last year’s Game 5 (2.6) between the then-defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins, featuring Sidney Crosby. In 2008, Detroit and Pittsburgh played a three-overtime Game 5, which generated a 4.3 overnight rating.

2003 Ana-NJ 3.5
2006 Car-Edm 2.9

A quick hit on the NBA ratings for game 2 (Go Celtics!)

The Celtics' series-tying win earned the highest preliminary rating for Game 2 of an NBA finals since 2004.

Boston's 103-94 victory Sunday night on ABC drew a 10.9 overnight rating. That's up 10 percent from the 9.9 for last year's Magic-Lakers Game 2.

It was 110 outside yesterday and maybe people thought putting an ice hockey game on at the same time would make it cooler...









(I put the game on 2 TV's)

West Palm Beach and Las Vegas are always putting up decent numbers.

 

[awaz]

i thought about putting the game on both my TV's to help the ratings.. but i dont think it does? i'm not sure though..

anywho.. pains me to see the NBA beat the NHL last night.. i cheering for the NHL almost as much as i was for the flyers last night.. maybe even more so with the performance they put on

i cant wait for the nba to lockout in 2 years, it wont be able to recover IMO

Wife didn't to be in the house (we had to put a dog down Saturday) and she needed to get away. She suggested going out for pizza and watching the Hawks game. But being in SoCal I don't think there was a TV at a pizza place on anything but the Lakers. Went to a chain old folks place(Mimi's) and there was no one there. Talked them to put the Hawks game on in the bar. The waiters and busboys were not happy. Hope I didn't get any surprises in my meal.

Why? The NHL did.

Glad to see the ratings continue to be strong.

I will check to see who won afterwards, but I refuse to watch. The 2 minutes I caught were while I was switching between DVDs to watch
