The ratings for Game 7 are showing that even though there was just 1 US team in the finals, the game got its highest rating in 37 years for both a Game 7 and any other Stanley Cup game. 4th largest rating when regular season is added in since 1973 as well.

Already higher ratings in New England than both Celtics NBA Finals games and the parade crowd size is either reported as being the largest or 2nd largest after the 2004 Red Sox parade.

The funny part is some sports radio show in New England tried to say that nobody really cared about hockey and that the other teams are more popular in the area but the ratings and the parade size completely discredit that notion.
