    • Can I just say that Leah Hextall is terrible announcer?

      And she always ends up on whatever Seattle game ESPN is broadcasting.

      • As ESPN puts a hockey tripleheader on ABC, including a nightcap that goes up against the NCAA title game, it makes me wonder what kind of ratings they would get if they still held their triple header but used the third game to show the NCAA tournament.

        NHL on ABC is averaging around 1 million viewers. Last year's national title drew 404k. Could you make up another 600k purely by being OTA? The women's championship doubled their ratings going from ESPN to ABC in 2022 to 2023 from 4.3 million to 9.9 million viewers. Even the XFL is seeing a bump of 250k-500k in games on ABC vs ESPN.

        Obviously much of that was Caitlin Clark for the women's FF, but that's still a helluva jump. My other thought was going the women's basketball route and throwing it on Sunday afternoon, but that would go directly against the Master's final round.

        • Women’s Worlds are going on. In entirely expected news, the US and Canada are each 3-0 going into their final pool play game against eachother. US has had more firepower at a 22-4 goal differential, while the Canadians have had stronger defense at 14-1.

          #3 Finland finds itself in Group B after getting upset in the quarterfinals last year and then upset again in the 5th place game by Japan. They’re outclassing opponents at a 21-3 goal differential so far. Japan is actually holding their own in Group A.

            Follow up on this: NCAA pulled in 800k on ESPN2. NHL game pulled in 1.2 mil on ABC.

            Varying factors here. You have the biggest college hockey fanbase boosting numbers, but you also have the best NHL team and a massive fanbase in Boston boosting numbers there. I still think you could get an extra 400k solely by being on ABC to bring NCAA up to the NHL number. But you’re also not going to have a blue blood every year either. A Cornell-Merrimack final won’t bring in anything close to that. At the very least it’d be nice if they put it on regular ESPN.

                It used to be on regular ESPN. But I don't think it matters. What package these days only has ESPN without ESPN2? And usually right next to each other in the channel listing.

                  Not many, but bars and people in general likely default to the main ESPN, so there’s missing exposure going to ESPN2.

                    Man, bars up in Lansing must not charge enough for beer- most of the bars down here show 3 different channels at the same time. So there's always ESPN2 on.

                    Cruise ships get both, but it's ESPN Caribbean....

                        • If I'm reading it right, if Florida wins their final game then the Bruins and Islanders play in the first round.

                          The record goal margin in a Stanley Cup game is Detroit 15 New York 0, in 1944.
