Ratings Surprise for SCF Game 1

I was actually surprised to read the ratings for game one of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Red Wings’ 4-0 win on Saturday night had a 1.8 national rating—drawing over 2.3 million viewers. The rating was the highest for an NHL game on Versus

It may be a factor of having 2 US teams in the Finals, but it’s still nice to hear numbers like that.
