I can't say I'm surprised. Hockey has a small-but-dedicated fanbase and the NBA has been bleeding viewers for years as it gets more and more "pansified".
What's interesting is that it was also the most-watched soccer match in US TV history. My guess is that we in the US prefer women's to men's soccer because in soccer the women are tougher and don't flop around pretending to be hurt.
