Stanley Cup Finals getting excellent viewership

[VivaLasVegas]

Looks like all the "nobody will watch" folks were wrong, again.

Cup Final fourth-most watched on record through four games

It’s not all that uncommon that the opinion of the hardcore fan (which describes most of us because we actually bothered to register an account and post here) is actually a minority opinion and the vast majority feels otherwise and/or the opposite.

But I was routinely told that nobody would watch the Canes

Wonder what the viewership for game 6 going to be, with that white house UFC event going on and the FIFA world cup tomorrow.

Indeed it is. But you're still young. Now go hit that gym!

big comeback hockey is great regardless of the sloppiness or whatever, just makes for a good story, good to see fans are watching, first four games were quite fun

 

[Tryamw]

But I was told no one would watch...
Therefore shove your numbers and facts...
Only NY and LA can draw views.

Everyone's excited to see playoff warrior Marner cement his legacy these last 2 games

I think you misread "insecure" for "tired of being beat over the head from all of the hockey haters in the media that no one watches or likes hockey." A lot of the sports media have historically gone out of their way to either make their dislike of it known or ignored it altogether. Personally I've never given one flip what the ratings were for that or anything else for that matter because I've never predicated my preferences and tastes based on what the "popular opinion" or consensus" on something allegedly is or was.

Sports are big bucks in general right now- somethin about bread being too expensive so we’re really gonna watch the shit outta the circuses.

Seriously though, going too deep with it but I think it’s a bit of a comfort blanket, a proxy for actual battle- people are keyed up right now, sports are an outlet.

Also it’s been fantastic hockey, people respond to that. My normally basketball-only office has some people talkin both now.

I don't think folks are referring to that type of "excitement" here

There's also medication for that, FWIW

 

[winnipegger]

It's been very entertaining. I hate Vegas and so does everyone I know, which adds to the fun. Having a villain is important.

40?

I thought you're 38?

I turn on the game but don't watch it, heh.

But why even care what the haters think?

I like women with some meat on the bones despite derisive snickers from others (of which women are just as bad as men) because I just DGAF what others think- about anything.

Nope. Today's my 40th birthday.

I turn it on to listen to Cuthbert to remind myself that having profound hearing loss has its benefits

Nope. Today's my 40th birthday.

Ahhh...

Well Feliz Chnpleaños to ya.

40....I forgot what it felt like to be so young....

 

[Bocephus86]

This has been an outstanding cup final so far, IMO.

 

[Deranged Oreo]

Despite what people think, Vegas and Carolina are both good draws for a hockey final. And the series hasn’t disappointed. Maybe the best final we’ve seen in a long time.

 

[Deranged Oreo]

Nope. Today's my 40th birthday.

You don’t look a day over 25
