Memorial Day begins what is sure to be a memorable Stanley Cup Final, if the hockey experts are to be believed. You see, a year after finding 50 predictions that were evenly split between Vegas and Washington, we were just one St. Louis pick away from doing the same with the 39 picks ready by the holiday this year. Instead, Boston gets the edge by one expert.
Scoreboard Page: Blues in 6. They are a team of destiny, but I suppose the same could be said of the Bruins. One was the worst team in the league in January and charged all the way back for their first Stanley Cup Final appearance. The other is from Boston, home of two other reigning champions. But if the Blues are going to come this far after being buried so deep, they might as well finish the job. The legend of Jordan Binnington leads the way. Play Gloria, St. Louis.
Here’s how the picks of experts at other media outlets broke down:
Sporting News: Blues 5, Bruins 3
The Athletic: Blues 3, Bruins 4
Sports Illustrated: Blues 2, Bruins 3
Bleacher Report: Blues 1, Bruins 0
