Of particular note is that the skills comp outdrew the game itself. Ouch.

It also appears the sponsors aren't terribly impressed with the monopoly...

Maybe the ratings were off because it was a crap display of hockey and nobody wanted to watch. You may be able to sell non-hockey fans in different markets the hype but Canadian fans usually won't watch that garbage. I don't think it had anything to do with the RSN broadcast itself.
