  1. I'll go with Kate's answers.

    EDIT: I was wrong!!!!!


  2. Americans

    3.4MM Americans watched it (as per NBC overnight numbers)

    2.6MM Canadians watched it (as per CBC)

    Bryan, the Stanley Cup record for most viewers is only 3.2MM in 1993.  4.5MM is very high..............although CBC would love that number.

  3. I was wondering where you went Bill.

    I will have to say USA because of the population difference. The population of USA is 300 000 000, whereas Canada is only 30 000 000. However if it was per capita I'm certain it would be Canada.

  4. Americans.  We have about 10x the population (300+ million to 30 million) and both teams in the finals were American teams.  Michigan loves their hockey and now that Pittsburgh has improved again they do too.  Michigan alone has over 10 million people.

    Per capita you have to go Canada.  Large parts of the southern and western US don't care much for hockey.

  5. Americans.  But America has a higher populations and way more teams.  Plus Sidney Crosby and the Penguins have been pimped by the league so much that way more Americans then you'd think follow them.

  6. Probably Canadiens......about 60% of Americans couldn't care less about hockey.

  7. 7 million Americans was tops for a game, and I think 4.5 million for Canadians despite no Canadian team in it. 4.5 million is about 15% of the Canadian population. If 15% of Americans watched, it would be about 45-50 million.

  8. Those #'s are horseshit, just imagine how many Americans watch the finals on CBC. I'm sure every town near the border gets CBC, I know most of Michigan gets it. And many prefer Canadas coverage to our very own NBC. Factor those #'s in and the totals will change.

    But more Americans watched for obvious reasons...10 times the population!

  9. bill bringin back the cowboy hat, oyeah

    ill go with a guess and say Americans

  10. I'm guessing Americans because there are more teams in the NHL that are American and because both teams are in America. I don't have stats though.
