[SakuSauce]

Washington-Calgary

 

[sr edler]

Minny vs Tampa would be a blast.

 

[Moen is Gone]

Tampa - Minnesota

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Anaheim Tampa worst
Chicago NYR/MTL best

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Prob Tampa-Anaheim

 

[AKL]

Anaheim Tampa

My pick as well

 

[bigtimehockeyfan999*]

calgary-mtl would be record setting

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Time to bash the small markets.

 

[Baemon Severson*]

calgary-mtl would be record setting

It would do nothing in the US

 

[Avder]

NBC would seize up and have a heart attack if it had to put Calgary and Montreal on the air. It would do great in Canada tho.

For overall worst viewership I'm gonna go with Anaheim and Tampa.

 

[CapsEersSkins]

Tampa Anaheim or Tampa Calgary

 

[bigtimehockeyfan999*]

It would do nothing in the US

still...basically MTL anything is gonna set the world on fire...Habs have the biggest following

 

[Classicnamesup]

Tampa Anaheim for sure

 

[Anglesmith]

It would do nothing in the US

I imagine Gaudreau would draw quite a bit of focus from the East Coast. Does Pacioretty have any following in the US?

 

[CraigsList]

Chicago and New York would have the best rating. Calgary/Tampa Bay would be a good one too since it's a rematch.

Minnesota/Montreal I think would be pretty low.

 

[RiceCooker]

In the US :
Montreal-Calgary (NBC might as well skip it), No local market and no one in the States would care,

....but it would be huge in Canada.

NYR-CHI would be great for the States.

 

[cheeeko]

Imagine how lucrative a Chicago vs. Montreal final would be? Wow.

I agree on Bolts vs. Ducks being the least so.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Minny vs Tampa would be a blast.

Agreed

 

[Avder]

In the US :
Montreal-Calgary (NBC might as well skip it), No local market and no one in the States would care,

....but it would be huge in Canada.

NYR-CHI would be great for the States.

I actually wonder if NBC has a clause in their TV deal that lets them bump all 7 games of the SCF to NBCSN in the event it's two Canadian teams.

Would not surprise me one bit.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Washington-Calgary

People will watch that just to see Ovechkin play.

I imagine Gaudreau would draw quite a bit of focus from the East Coast. Does Pacioretty have any following in the US?

I live in South Jersey, where Gaudreau is from, and I assure you no one cares, except for people who played against him as kids.

I dont know how is following is in Boston, but I cant imagine it's huge

Well, it was big enough to launch the whole "Johnny Hockey" ridiculousness, anyway.

They would not set the States on fire, In the USA, no one cares about the Habs, except maybe Bruins fans who hate them lol.

But this is about overall ratings, right? Not just US ratings.
