That's really cool! The success is beyond remarkable.

(Though I do wonder what some of the Avs-Wings playoff games garnered, but that was a different network, iirc.)

This is very good, finals contain 2 of the top 10 hockey markets, let's see if this translates to viewership.

I love it. I'm a regular visitor of Vegas, (went to game #4 vs Jets) and I always said Vegas would be a great NHL hockey city...never had a doubt. What people never realized for whatever reason is Vegas has always had great Ratings for the NHL. Even before the Knights they'd regularly pop into the top 10 TV markets. This shouldn't be a surprise

With more and more fans streaming on illegal sites nowadays, I think the NHL is seeing a dramatic boom in viewership and fan base. The success of our team just piles on to that I think. NHL headquarters has to be elated.

 

[Vegas Mac]

The team needs to start selling some #hockeytown merch in our colors because this town is hockey crazy man. You cannot go anywhere without seeing VGK apparel and merchandise, it's amazing.

Haha Pittsburgh in 3rd. They either really love MAF or really hate wash.
