Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals was the most watched game 1 in 12 years

The Stanley Cup Finals may not move the meter here in Iowa, but it sure is across North America as Wednesday Night's Game 1 was the most watched Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 12 years.

According to a press release from NBC Sports, 4.6 million fans tuned in for Game 1, up three percent from 2010 and a little nugget here, this is the first time since 2007 that a team from Canada has played in the Stanley Cup Finals and the ratings for Game 1 Wednesday night were 189% higher than the first network broadcast of that series back in 2007.
