The battle between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers in game six of the Stanley Cup Finals was the most-watched NHL game in 36 years, according to NBC.
And since the Blackhawks came out of OT victorious, the game also squashed the sport’s longest running championship drought. The Chicago hockey team hadn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1961.
The win was watched by 8.28 million viewers, the most since 1974 on NBC.
