The ratings for this year’s Stanley Cup are up 157 percent from 2007. The NHL is so pleased by the results that they’re planning on extending the Penguins-Red Wings match-up into a best of 49 game series. The Red Wings are still favored to sweep.

Ouch. Just have to keep the faith, Pens fans. Though it’s probably tough when everyone’s betting against you.
