It also boosted viewership for the five Stanley Cup games carried on NBC to an average 5.6 million, the best since ABC averaged 5.8 million for three telecasts in 2002.
Versus carried the other two games, and it, too, set records, with the two contests becoming the most-watched telecasts in network history.
Game 7 was also the highest-rated series-ending game since 2003, averaging a 4.3 household rating and 8 share. The game averaged a season-high 3.2 among adults 18-49. |
Sounds like a lot of good news for the NHL, right?
