Stanley Cup Final Viewership & Plano City Council Arena Vote | 'Spits & Suds'

from Shan and RJ

Gavin highlighted that Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas averaged a 2.4 rating, marking the most-watched Game 2 since the 2015 Blackhawks-Lightning series. Sean credited this viewership growth to the high-quality play on the ice, the expansion of hockey at the college level, and the sport's increasing appeal in "Sunbelt" markets, which has helped disprove previous concerns about the viability of these franchises. The guys discussed how the current trend of higher goal-scoring in the NHL appeals to passive sports fans who might find low-scoring defensive games less engaging. They also confirmed that the Plano City Council voted unanimously to approve the development of a new arena. They discussed the potential impact on surrounding businesses and acknowledged that while some fans are disappointed by the move away from Dallas, the project is expected to provide significant economic benefits for the Plano area.
