Thats only like 5k off the Panthers-Kings game from January, which was exclusive as well.

Good lord

Yeah, and that's just the two linear #'s. "Skate for LA" could be viewed a million ways in the U.S.: espn2, truTV, ESPN+, Disney+, Hulu, FanDuel Sports Network, KCAL-TV, Pluto TV & Samsung TV Plus.

That FLA-LAK game was another example of "scheduling" and why you don't put an ETZ team in the late game -- and going to be worse when the PTZ team historically draws poor #'s from their side, anyway.
