Ads Celebrating Blues\' Stanley Cup Win Mistakenly Run 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Jun 9, 2019 7:54 pm

In a letter published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Sunday, Blues owner Tom Stillman thanked his fans after \"the elation of breaking through and bringing St. Louis its first-ever Stanley Cup.\"

One problem: The Blues haven\'t actually won the Stanley Cup yet. The letter, as well as a few congratulatory advertisements, appeared in the digital edition of the newspaper hours before the team was scheduled to play Game 6 against the Bruins, leading the series 3-2.

The ad pages were visible in the subscribers-only E-edition of the paper and were removed. But not before more than a few readers noted them, and they hit social media.

This will look even worse if they don't pull off game 7.
I don't get why they provided this to the paper before they won. There's no rush to get it out.
