This certainly great for the NHL. It needs this. Its kind of why I secretly cheer for big market US teams, it gets the game we all love the recognition it deserves.

But those ratings are probably a fraction of what Big Bang Theory reruns get.
Strangely enough, two Big Bang Theory re-runs were the only thing on cable that had higher numbers in the 18-49 age range on Wednesday, but not by much. The hockey game had more total viewers than anything else on cable Wednesday night: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...y-more/185066/

The hockey game had 3,354,000 total viewers. Tuesday night's NBA game had 8,122,000 total viewers. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...l-more/184955/

Actually, the 3.3 million is the average for the whole game, the number peaked at 4.613 million for the OT: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...etwork/185246/
