The Euro final yesterday did better than any NHL game in over 2 years.
Not an Apples to Apples comparison lol - International event vs a league event. Like soccer fans are really reaching now.
A gold medal game or world cup of hockey final without USA wouldn't draw nearly as much as the Euros final.
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes.Every Italian in the US watched this game. There are close to 2.5M italians in the US. The rest who watched are immigrants mostly, while some americans watched too.. but not many.
Soccer is VERY boring to watch. I bet on the game and i still couldn't get myself to watch it. It's freakin UNWATCHABLE.. the most boring sport ever. How can ppl watch this crap?? It's just pass pass pass, pass, pass to goalie, back to player..
Now i know why Americans HATE this game.. i don't blame them. And ppl were complaining that they wanted no penalty kicks to decide and to let them just play till someone scores. Are u kidding me??? if they did this, they'd still be playing the game right now. No one ever comes close to a scoring chance in this game. Who the heck wants to watch a 2 hr soccer game to see 2 scoring chances all game..
At times, i used to think hockey was boring, but after watching soccer, hockey seems like a breath of fresh air.
Yup wasn't far off 9.4m about 3 mil from Univision.
Yup. Combine the Spanish audience and it might be better than any NHL game has EVER done in USA.
2002 gold medal game in salt lake did over 18 million. You can't compare NHL to International cups... guys come on now it's a joke. Premiere League finals or MLS finales would be a better comparison.
do you have proof of that?How about the 2010 Gold Medal hockey game??
The game was actually viewed by more people south of the border, with NBC reporting an average audience of 27.6 million – the largest for hockey since the U.S. defeated Finland for gold at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.
How about 1980?
US/Russia- 34.2M
US/Finland (Final game).. 32.8M
Those #s are bigger than what the World Series and NBA finals combined will get this yr.
Gold-medal hockey game watched by record 16.6 million
And ppl are saying soccer is beating hockey in the US cuz 8M immigrants watched a boring sport..
That would take reasoning and critical thinking though, so why not plow ahead anyway?2002 gold medal game in salt lake did over 18 million. You can't compare NHL to International cups... guys come on now it's a joke. Premiere League finals or MLS finales would be a better comparison.

There are always going to be weird results when comparing an international sporting event that takes place every 2 to 4 years to a yearly domestic league. Womens hockey got 3.8 million viewers at 11pm in 2018. Not counting the Cup Final only one NHL game outrated it. Is womens hockey catching up to/passing the NHL?
For the record, there are no Premier League Finals. The champion is crowned after the 38 game regular season.
do you have proof of that?
Canada's victory against Team USA in the Olympic gold-medal game Sunday night was the most-watched hockey game in the United States in 30 years.
The game drew an average viewership of 27.6 million, making it the most-watched hockey broadcast since the U.S. team beat Finland to win gold at 1980 Olympics. That game drew 32.8 million fans and came on the heels of the historic U.S. win against the U.S.S.R. in the "Miracle on Ice" game.
i was asking for proof for sotero claim that the Euro rating was just immigrants .. you at least provide facts for your claims.

It is lol. And you are right it is exactly like the NBa obsessed fans that hockey has. It mostly starts out as "MLS is right behind/has surpassed the NHL" and then they point to EPL and International Cup soccer as "proof"Ok then this crappy final still beat the UEFA Champions league on CBS. I guess that would be the closest equivalent. Soccer fans love these quick wins they are after hockey like many Hockey fans were after the NBA lol. Still a huge gap - even the EPL games are exclusive in their season without blackouts (I heard) and no competition from regional team broadcasts.

I dont understand why the niche sports are like this, but it seems par for the course. Its the same with Indycar vs F1
