Last night's ratings also had a nice rebound from the previous 4 disappointments. There seems to be some hype building now and I wonder if we will start seeing comparable game 6 numbers to 2015 and 2016

the comparisons that I have seen so far are not Apples to apples due to the Canada.
Ratings are down, well no shite. What would those ratings look like if you add an expected number of viewers for an average market of an east team?

Or even easier, what do the numbers look like if you take out the viewers from the finals teams markets and compare that to this year's, minus the GS market viewers.
Maybe after that it's still down, but that's a more apt comparison.
