loosely in that they happened ten minutes apart rather than at the exact same time?

Nothing's changed.  They still have to win a game in Chicago and hold at home.  They should have won both of those games but came up just short.  Big farging deal.  They're still going to win the series.

this isnt the nba

road teams are 42-40 in the nhl playoffs

and this series is only the fourth out of 15 that the home team won the first two games

Monday's Flyers/Blackhawks Game 2 delivered one of the largest overnight ratings ever for the NHL on NBC.

The Blackhawks' win drew a 4.1 overnight rating on NBC, up 21% from Penguins/Red Wings Game 2 on a Sunday night last year (3.4), and the highest overnight for any of the first four games of the Stanley Cup Final on broadcast since Stars/Devils Game 4 in '00 (4.2).

This is only the fifth* time that an NHL telecast on NBC has drawn at least a 4.0 overnight, and only the third time that a non-series clinching game has hit that mark.

The 4.1 overnight is also the highest on record for a Game 2 in the Stanley Cup Final -- a stat that looks far less impressive when you consider that Game 2 has aired on broadcast just three times since 1975.

NBC again won the night in primetime, averaging a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49.

Chicago led all markets with a 25.1/39 for Game 2, up 49% from Game 1 (16.8/35). Philadelphia followed with an 18.5/28, up 40% from Game 1 (13.2/25).

Buffalo was the top neutral market (10.2/16), and Indianapolis -- where the game was mostly preempted for coverage of the Indianapolis 500 victory banquet -- was the top non-NHL market (6.3/10).

Through two games, the 2010 Stanley Cup Final is averaging a 3.5 overnight rating on NBC, up 17% from last year (3.0).

better numbers in philly in given that it wasnt a saturday night. they are probably gonna top out around the 20 or so area, which puts them about 1/2 lower than the 76ers and phillies averaged in their recent runs. i wonder if the mls team could ever got a 10 for the title game, which would put the flyers directly in between a major sport and....soccer. like i said all along they were.
