CBC announced another stunning rating for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. A record 8.76 million Canadians tuned in for the Boston Bruins’ clincher over the Vancouver Canucks, the second largest audience in history for CBC.

8.54 Million USA viewers
8.76 Million Canadian (Almost 1/3 of our population)
17.3 Million Viewers in North America for the final game... Not 8.7..
Its also not the highest rated game ever. As I said, the south doesnt care about hockey, the north does. You'll find that most of your 8.54 million viewers bordered Canada. And thats only CBC and NBC, im sure other American channels carried the game in other places... (I know the NHL network also had it up here, which is a subscription service)
