Crosby + Malkin + Ovechkin = Huge Ratings


The Pittsburgh Penguins - Washington Capitals series may go down as the greatest 2nd round series in NHL history. That fact that NHL's three best players are duking it out in a fashion we've rarely seen is a true treat, I mean we never got to watch Lemieux vs. Gretzky in a playoff series.

Not surprisingly the TV ratings for the instant classic series are terrific.

"FSN Pittsburgh earned a massive 21.38 rating for Saturday's Game 5, the highest-rated NHL game on any FSN regional sports network. Versus recorded a 1.2 rating during its national telecast of Game 2, making that the highest-rated and most-watched second-round game on cable since 2002. " Source: Washington Post
