Obviously good reasons for it. Combination of a highly entertaining team, home ice and having the most talked about line in the tournament.

An important factor is that it's broadcast by YLE, the public network, instead of being buried somewhere deep in the channel list or worse yet behind a paywall. A casual viewer doesn't have to actively look for it.
Some years ago I recall having to buy a ####ing webpass to watch the tournament on stream.
