With the Chicago 41.0 rating compared to 2013 and the 31.0 rating. This game should wine up around 8.3 mill-8.5. If you put Boston's Local or New York if they were in the finals looking at 9 plus million easily....Maybe 10 for a game 6. Tampa Bay/Chicago put up very well respectable numbers.....

Chicago is phenomenal and Tampa is very good, but there seems to be a lack of real ratings growth nationwide
I agree Gecko, you do have a point...Now this was a sunbelt team and not many people felt this series would do as good, but I think do believe having 2 games on NBCSN did stall some of the momentum...When your viewership takes 30-40% hit from games 1 and 2...it takes some time to reboot...Especially coming off of that game 2 where you had some real good numbers...

Where is the MLS thread? All I see is one 'soccer's popularity' and one FIFA thread.

Seattle gets an asterisk as the NBC station (KING) there refuses to air hockey in favor of local news and the games are moved to a UHF channel. Plus Seattle also gets CBC on basic cable and those numbers are not measured.
Final game pulled in 2.6m in Canada.

Actually, that was the case last year where the games were put on KONG 16. This year all 4 games were on KING 5.

OK I stand corrected - but I am certain many hardcore fans look at CBC.
NBC has ridden the Chicago wave well..........but how much longer can that continue
WGN-TV early Tuesday morning found a fan out of central casting
The Chicago number on Monday was impressive when you benchmark it with other Chicago sporting events.
We will have final national numbers tomorrow and then we will close the thread down and start again next season.
But here is the simple truth on both sides of the border. If you DON'T have a rooting interest in the playoffs, the numbers are going to be meh.

Somehow Chicago post a 54.9 for Super Bowl this year, even higher than Seattle, without Bears it's mind boggling.
Super Bowl is its own universe. Nationally it did a 49.7
The ratings in Tampa show that hockey is still a hard sell in the area as 85% of the people living in the market had no interest in the Stanley Cup.

I gotta say, I was a little taken back by the Tampa numbers, thought theyd be better.

But Chicago put up higher number on a non-Bears Super Bowl than everything on your list outside Ditka Bears, I find it's hard to believe.

The thing is Tampa started out of the gate great with a 20.0 rating for game 1. Then kinda flat lined....I though as the series progressed it would maybe climb to 25.0-30.0... All in all I thought Tampa did alright.....If you put St.Louis, Detroit, Minny, Boston, New York in these finals with Chicago. Would've seen some record breaking numbers..nationally
That tells me quite a few sampled hockey in Game 1 and didn't like what they saw.
Imagine you decide to watch a hockey game for the first time and you put on NBC and one of the first things you see is
The most telling number was Game 5 when the series was 2-2 and the Tampa number didn't move.
