The author makes several statements that contain informal fallacies. He uses the phrase 'it's possible' when discussing the Panthers potentially winning by a larger margin, which is an appeal to possibility fallacy. He also states that 'exercising patience has been crucial for the Panthers during these playoffs', which is a hasty generalization based on one game's outcome. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when he states that the Rangers 'struggled in that department, beyond the late goal Alexis Lafreniere scored to cut it to a one-goal margin'. This statement implies that the Rangers were unable to get near the net for any reason other than Lafreniere's goal, which is not true. The author also makes several statements about what 'looks no further than' or 'one example of', which are appeals to ignorance fallacies. Lastly, the author uses vague language when discussing the Rangers' power play struggles and their need to find success with it, which can be considered ambiguous.
][author] It's possible the Panthers could have won by a larger margin and head into a Game 6 that could see them return to a consecutive Stanley Cup final for the first time in their team’s history. [[//],
