Did this game have better ratings than the Bruins-Pens game on NBC the week before?

I wish it had gone at least 6 games like the title says.....

I can't get myself to watch the finals as This still stings, but It's so nice being able to watch this team past the regular season these days.

I dunno if I can bring myself to watch either but i'll most likely check to see who wins each game.

I will watch the finals. Should be great hockey and an exciting series. Of course its always better if our team is playing. Hopefully next year we get back and lift the cup again

Exactly. It's all about how many sets of eyeballs were watching at any given time
