1 Million Viewers. Phew!

NBA ECF Game Destroys Game 3 Of Stanley Cup Finals

Ratings were higher on NBC for Game 3 (~1.25MM viewers) than they were for Games 1 and 2 on Versus, but were still fairly embarrassing. US viewers, instead, seemed to prefer Lebron James and Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals which was airing on TNT at the same time. The difference was in the 4 to 1 range.

Not quite sure how Bettman spins this one, so we'll just have to wait for him to reiterate that the NHL, under his administration, is STILL not defined by TV ratings.

We would sure hope not. But until then, we can only hope the SCF can break the 2 million viewer mark for at least one game of these Finals.
