Game 7 Loss Highest Rated Rangers Game Since 1997

Jeff Z. Klein at Slap Shot reports that Game 7 of the Rangers vs. Capitals first round match-up drew the highest TV ratings since 1997...

"The Rangers’ 2-1 loss in Washington on MSG was the most-watched game of the series, getting a 3.02 rating, which translates to some 225,000 households tuning in. That beat out Game 4 as the highest-rated Rangers telecast since April 22, 1997, when the Blueshirts played the Panthers in a first-round game. Tuesday’s telecast peaked from 9:15 to 9:30 p.m., when 328,575 households were watching."

...don't get too excited hockey fans I guarentee you that rating was still lower than World Series of Poker re-runs on ESPN2.
