So, NHL got a record of 8.7 million viewers for Game 7. That's the highest number they have had in almost 40 years.
This is the newest numbers I can find (2008) on millions of viewers (averaged if multiple game series) Quote:
I am not a basketball fan either, but hockey fans bashing basketball fans over viewership is laughable. |

8.76 Million Canadian (Almost 1/3 of our population) 17.3 Million Viewers in North America for the final game... Not 8.7.. Its also not the highest rated game ever. As I said, the south doesnt care about hockey, the north does. You'll find that most of your 8.54 million viewers bordered Canada. And thats only CBC and NBC, im sure other American channels carried the game in other places... (I know the NHL network also had it up here, which is a subscription service) |

Those jackasses were NOT showing the National Anthems. I fired off an email to them asking if they were unpatriotic or just plain embarrassed that our friends to north showed more heartfelt enthusiasm for their anthem then the US did. Spineless bastards never replied back :gofurslf: |

It still doesn't matter what you say. 8.7 in the USA is a tiny fraction of the entire USA. The north has a big portion of the population in the USA. 8.7 isn't all that much. Hockey just isn't a big sport NOW in comparison to the other big 3 and it can be seen in the numbers I provided. It doesn't matter what the biggest number the finals have pulled, this is the biggest number in 38 years. That's just sad. You guys are competing on the MLS level in the USA and I don't know anyone that watches MLS. LOL I get it, Canadians love hockey. That view is not shared by most of American sports viewership. You don't rank up against basketball in the USA and the numbers prove it. |
