The best hockey game in North American this year didn't happen in the NHL. It came in Vancouver in March, and it featured the dream matchup for Olympic organizers, the hockey-mad host country and an exciting young team from the other side of the border.
NBC decided to air the game between Canada and the United States live in every time zone, and the ratings turned out to be enormous - 27.6 million, the most for a hockey game since two games from the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" Olympics in Lake Placid. The total was similar in Canada - which meant that 80 percent of the country was watching.
