2007 NHL All Star Game

The 2007 NHL All Star game was held at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on january 24th 2007 and Sabres fans had plenty of reasons to watch. Buffalo supporters helped propel three Sabres (Daniel Briere, Ryan Miller, and Brian Campbell) to starting positions through the fan voting process. It was the first time that a team has ever had three players make their All Star debut as starters. The heavy Sabre presence coupled with Daniel Briere's MVP performance made the exhibition must-see TV in Buffalo and the rating reflected it. The game garnered a 7.1 rating on Versus and was the highest rated cable show in Buffalo for the night. Nationally, the game drew a .7 rating with 10% of the total households being attributed to the Buffalo market alone. In addition, many Sabres fans watched the game on CBC. CBC drew a 2.7 rating meaning Buffalo had a combined rating of 9.8 by far the highest figure in America. To put into perspective how highly rated the game was in Buffalo, here are the ratings for any US city that the game was a top-20 rated cable program:

Buffalo (7.1 rating) (2.7 CBC)
