Be honest now. At the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs, did you predict that the Bruins and Blues would meet in the Final?
I’ll believe the Bruins part. Even the most cynical among us have parochial tendencies when it comes to predictions, and Bruce Cassidy’s well-rounded and talented team did finished tied with the Flames for the second-most points in the regular season.
But the Blues? Sorry, not buying that song and dance. We all know you took Winnipeg.
There is, however, at least one known person who predicted this matchup before the postseason began.
