The Bachelorette iced Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. ABC's dating show averaged 7.82 million viewers from 8 to 10 ET against 5.23 million for the match on NBC between the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins. Bachelorette also scored a 2.4 rating among 18-to-49-year-olds vs. hockey's 1.8 — down a chilling 38 percent against last year's Game 6 (which, admittedly, was between teams from two larger TV markets, Philadelphia and Chicago).

The two networks were the only broadcast outlets with all-original programming Monday night.
ABC's Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition also outdrew hockey in the final prime-time hour, 5.84 million viewers vs. 5.33 million. A rerun of CBS' Hawaii Five-0 actually won the time slot with 7.30 million.
Still, both ABC shows were down compared with last week: Bachelorette fell 8 percent, while Extreme Makeover dipped 9 percent.

The seventh and deciding game of the National Hockey League championship airs Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC — and it's certain not to approach the 21.07 million who tuned in for this week's National Basketball Association closer.
