Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final is on Saturday night. In case you haven't been watching (and millions of Americans haven't), the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Edmonton Oilers in the first two games of the best-of-7 series. Those game were on OLN. Now the series shifts to Canada and to NBC (Ch. 3 in Jackson). Pundits are predicting Game 3 could make history as the lowest-rated prime-time program in U.S. television history. How bad is it for the NHL? ABC's coverage of World Cup soccer is expected to get better ratings.
