Saturday night's Game 3 between Ottawa and Anaheim received the lowest ever rating for a major network in prime time. Not just the lowest for a sporting event, but the lowest for anything ever shown on one of the networks between 8pm-11pm (7-10 for you Central time farmers). To put this into context, NBC's 1.1 rating for the game was lower than the worst XFL showing, a 1.5, which means that even at its least popular, there were still about half a million more people watching the XFL than watching hockey.

I think the numbers were close to MLS ratings also.
I'm not surprised, hockey is terrible and only neanderthols watch it.
that is embarrasing ey
Holy crap is that bad news for the NHL.
It kinda brings up the question though: Is this down to the death of Hockey or is it down to the popularity of football. (not that there was much of that played in the XFL...)
