Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 6/4/14

WHAT MATTERS:

• Despite a market-size match made in heaven (New York vs. Los Angeles), Game 1 of the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals was down 24% from last year's 2.5 opener. It still stacked up relatively well vs. other recent Game 1's (1.8 in 2011, 1.1 in 2012), but these markets probably do not have as much hockey interest per capita as last year's competitors (Boston and Chicago).

• Week two of So You Think You Can Dance (1.5) was down just a tenth.

• And ABC continues to ring up noticeably strong numbers with The Goldbergs encores (1.2/1.4). This has clearly helped Modern Family, whose 1.6 was better than any summer repeat from 2013 and tied the 2012 high! The momentum continued to Motive (1.1), up two tenths from its first two deliveries.
