Game 7 got the highest rating for the NHL since broadcast networks began carrying the finals in 1998. The rating was a 4.6 with an 8 share. Now hopefully they can build on this, but I guess that all depends on if they are stupid enough to not get the new CBA hammered out.
Strange, the numbers I got was a 4.1 with it peaking at a 4.6. Either or, it's certainly better number then they got on Saturdays (Game 6) XFLish 2.1 or Thursdays (Game 5) 2.5.
As an XFL fan I was kind of enjoying these ultra low numbers (even though I am a hockey fan) seeing all these sports snobs freak out.
Isn't their ABC/ESPN contract up this year?... I've heard rumors that Viacom's Spike TV might grab the NHL cable rights, and if that's the case does that mean they will get a Game of the Week on CBS?
cause there's limits to our liberties. 'Least I hope and pray that there are, cause those liberal freaks go too far.

I'd find CBS' transition from Sunday golf to Sunday hockey amusing, to say the least. I think the number I heard was 4.8, too. The 8 share seems about right.
Since they're building off of their highest rating (probably) ever, if that won't serve as an incentive to keep players playing over the next 2 seasons, nothing will. You can use baseball as a perfect example of destroying momentum on that one.
