No. 1 overall draft pick Connor Bedard’s NHL debut averaged 1.43M viewers on ESPN. It’s the most-watched regular season NHL game ever on cable, excluding the Winter Classic.

    The dynasty Hawks consistently had the NHLs highest rated games. This is massive for the NHL

    Bedard is what has gotten me back into hockey after nearly 17 years of being away from the sport.

    I love how people tell us how horrible we are for the game and yet we get higher ratings than any team in the league, even in a rebuild year. You’re welcome, NHL

    I don’t believe the lottery was rigged, but I do believe Bettman & co. popped a bottle of champagne afterwards. Having big stars in a market like Chicago means more money for everyone.
