⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans toward the Leafs with aligned money distribution, suggesting market consensus without strong sharp resistance, making following the favorite viable but not optimal for EV. The Blues’ defensive structure limits high-danger chances (top-15 HDCA/60), pointing to a low-scoring affair under 6.5 goals. Overall, math favors contrarian value on the puck line rather than forcing the public side.

🔮 Recommended Play
[Fade the public on St. Louis +1.5] — Highest probability edge emerges from Blues’ resilience in close games, overriding public hype on Toronto’s home edge.
