About half was Canada's TSN and RDS, so the other half was what Russia and the States? How widely broadcasted was it outside North America? Was it shown on any major networks in Sweden/Finland/etc?
During the broadcast it was mentioned that the game was on the top Russian station for the first time ever

Missed that, which probably contributed to those numbers a lot.
That 14m would be TSN's numbers. TSN is only available in Canada, which means that about half the country watched at least part of the game.

No, the article stated the total viewers around the world was 14.2m, with 6.88m of the number coming from TSN and RDS, meaning roughly a 4th instead of half of Canada watched the game and accounted for a little less than half the total viewers.
Bob Mackenzie said 6.2 million people watched on his twitter.

A dramatic game and now a dramatic audience! Overnight data from BBM Canada confirms that a record audience of 6.88 million viewers watched last night's 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship gold medal game on TSN and RDS. Overall, the game was watched by 14.2 million unique viewers - or close to half of the country's population - who tuned in to watch some or all of last night's broadcast on TSN and RDS.
TSN's average audience for the dramatic game was an outstanding 6.23 million viewers an all-time record for the network and the most-watched telecast on Canadian television since the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
RDS registered its second highest audience ever for a World Juniors game with 652,000 viewers.

2009 WC final had about 34 million viewers in Russia. 14 million is sure impressive for Canada, but for Russia, not so much. Even more so if you were thinking it was combined audience.Yeah, which makes the win so much more awesome for that country. I mean, it could end up increasing interest in Hockey even more.
