Hey America, did you see that?

For what it's worth, I really hope NBC gets a decent rating for today's broadcasts of Pittsburgh/Ottawa and NYR/Atlanta. I mostly watched Pitt/Ott, but flipped between both games and they really were fantastic. Great hitting, great passion, just a fast, brutal, passionate pace to both games. Crosby, Malkin, and co. really showcased their stuff, and it was probably the perfect type of game to really demonstrate just how good NHL hockey can be. Even my fiance, who's a Sharks fan more than a hockey fan, was enthralled by it, especially when the hitting picked up in the second period. Let's just hope people watched it.
