tv ratings in boston

id imagine the raw numbers were above 400k in BC

JANUARY 9, 2012 – NESN, New England’s most watched sports network, set another regular season Boston Bruins ratings record on Saturday afternoon (1/7/12) with an 8.9 average household rating in the Boston DMA (341,088 total in-home viewers) for the Bruins Stanley Cup rematch with the Vancouver Canucks. NESN’s previous best household rating for a regular season Bruins game was set on November 23, 2011 when NESN garnered an 8.4 HH rating for the Bruins 4-3 shootout win at Buffalo.

The Vancouver game earned an astounding 23 share in the Boston DMA, also setting a new NESN record for a regular season Bruins game. Share is the percentage of all households with a television in use that are watching a program. This means nearly 1 in 4 homes with a television set on was watching the Bruins game on NESN. The network’s previous record share was a 16 for the Bruins 6-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on December 17, 2011.

Just as impressive as NESN’s household rating on Saturday was the game’s ratings among key demographic categories. NESN earned an 8.0 rating (33 share) for Adults 25-54 and 11.1 rating (40 share) for Men 25-54.

NESN’s current season Bruins average is now up to a 5.2 household rating, up 86% over last season after the same number of games (34).

If Marchand only sees a fine and no one uses the headline "Marchand ducks suspension," I'll be disappointed

 

[BF4L]

I am gonna laugh when Marchand gets no suspension and everyone cries about. Campbell being on the Bruins and the extra treatment we get .

I hate to do this to Bryz, because I do really think he's a talented goalie. That said, maybe he was more of a "system" goalie (or in Anaheim's case, the talent surrounding him). Mike Smith is looking pretty damn good as well. Bryz was still more impressive as a Coyote than Mike Smith, but you get the idea. Also, when Bryz had a couple nice runs in Anaheim, he also had two HOF defensemen who could each play 25 - 30 minutes a night.

Bryzgalov is adjusting to being front and center in the midst of a rabid hockey fanbase. He flew under the radar out in the desert, but now, every move he makes is being scrutinized. On the one hand, it's Philadelphia - and there should have been expectations upon signing. However, you can tell the majority of his struggles thus far are mental.

He is showing signs of breaking through. He's been tracking the puck much better, and actually FIGHTING to make saves - indicative of a goaltender slowly building confidence. The numbers will come. And, besides, this isn't the time of year that Bryz needs to shine. He still has a few months for that...
