Great ratings for game 7

Cup Final Game 7 earns record viewership - 2011 Stanley Cup Final - Canucks v Bruins

The average rating in Boston for the seven-game series was 28.1, far ahead of last year's seven-game NBA Finals series between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, which drew a 25.0.

Nice job, I was prepared to make fun of the "good" ratings because often when the network ratings are praised they still get beat by repeats of other shows. Last night NBC won the night, and the game was the most watched program from 9-11pm.

cdn ratings ok too

It was only fitting that a playoff run that delivered record ratings in each round ended with a Game 7 that broke all viewing records for CBC’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. A stunning average audience of 8.76 million Canadians tuned in, making it the most-watched NHL broadcast in CBC history*, and second-most watched sports broadcast ever, just behind the 2002 Olympic Men’s Hockey Final between Canada and the USA at 8.96 million.

The game, which saw Boston defeat Vancouver 4-0 to win their first Stanley Cup title since 1972, peaked at 11.2 million viewers at 9:40 p.m. ET with five minutes left in the 2nd period. The game reached a total of 18.45 million Canadians (more than half of the Canadian population), by far the most ever for the Final on CBC.

Imagine what the peak numbers would have been had the game been close right up to the finish rather than over at the end of 2.

And ESPN still thinks basketball is a real sport....

Sure enough, Buffalo comes in third behind only Boston and Providence.

I can only imagine the share in Buffalo if they made it to a game 7 next year.

Buffalo continues to prove they are a great hockey city.
