‘The game averaged an impressive 26.9 rating on WGRZ-TV from 2 to 5 p.m., when it was scheduled to end. The rating rose to 36.8 from 5 to 6 p.m. and hit a high of 40.1 in the final 15 minutes before the Rangers scored the winning goal. To put that in perspective, the rating in the last hour was in the neighborhood of many Bills regular season games.’
