Now that the Leafs are eliminated I would expect a downtick in the hockey ratings as the GTA is more Leafs fan than general NHL fans. Like it or not it also probably hurts that the Oilers are eliminated seeing how RSN pumps the tires of McDavid there's not a lot of reasons for easterners to stay up late to watch the Flames or Canucks.
I'm not surprised MLB ratings are down as this season has been a train wreck since day one and it's becoming more of a regional sport with World Series ratings on a massive decline from where it was in the 80's and depends on sheer volume of games played to make its money.
