St. Louis newspaper prematurely crowns Blues as Stanley Cup champs
With the St. Louis Blues just one win away from the first Stanley Cup championship in their 52-year history, the city's only daily newspaper got a little ahead of itself.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch inadvertently published several pages to one of their digital platforms that congratulated the Blues and their fans.

And here's a closer look:
The pages were eventually removed, and the publication owned up to the error shortly thereafter.
A few ad pages were visible in our subscriber-only e-edition, and have been removed.

In preparation for the outcome of the Stanley Cup Final, some of our readers got a sneak peak at what our advertisers are hoping to say to the Blues, the fans and St. Louis. We apologize for the sneak peak and hope to share their messages with everyone very soon!
