So you CANNOT compare Flyer or Blackhawk viewers to Ranger viewers without taking into account the unique dynamics of having 3 local NHL teams+game son many different networks.

Didn't say that only looking at one team would give you an ideal number, but just totaling the three wouldn't be accurate either.
