ABC’s Game 2 Draws Its Biggest Cup Final Crowd Since 2015

The Stanley Cup Final is still one of the few events in hockey that can punch through the summer noise, and Game 2 on ABC just delivered a huge audience. That matters inside the league because TV numbers shape everything from the conversation around the sport to how loudly the biggest moments echo outside the usual fan base. A strong Game 2 audience also suggests the series has more mainstream grip than plenty of recent Finals.
