Still doesn't account for online viewers who are using streams, so that number would be even higher too.

Quote: NEW YORK -- U.S. viewership of the NHL playoffs increased 24 percent from 2009, the league's highest average first-round audience in 10 years. The NHL said Friday that NBC and Versus combined to average 742,000 viewers per telecast. That's the most since ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 had 750,000 in 2000. Versus averaged 595,000 viewers, a 35 percent increase from 2009 and the league's best showing on cable since ESPN/ESPN2 in 2001 (608,000). Versus averaged a .7 rating, up 75 percent from 2009. NBC averaged 430,000 viewers for its four broadcasts, an 18 percent increase over 2009. Its 1.1 average rating was the best since 2006 and up 10 percent from last year. The rating is the percentage of all homes with TVs, whether or not they are in use. Link |

The NHL is certainly gaining ground on the Big 3, but the league will need to be wise in its efforts to capitalize on it. Smart by marketing of a big slew of young stars and saavy veterans, then broker a new TV deal with better stipulations with NBC, and then continue to pursue alternative media and online P.R. |

More people in the United States list Hockey as their favorite sport than Basketball. |

BRING BACK GARY THORNE! |

I also like the NHL on Versus. Could be better, but could also be MUCH MUCH worse. |

I still remember OLN/VS first game, it was soo bad that I thought I was watching some third world country showing their first game ever. One thing I like about versus is the games they show in San Jose the cameras are really close to the play unlike CBC and TSN |
