  • Deception (50%)
    The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses her opinion about the performance of Connor McDavid throughout his career and the importance of him reaching the Stanley Cup Final at a prime age. She also highlights specific injuries suffered by players on the Florida Panthers team, implying that these injuries may impact their performance in the Stanley Cup Final. However, she does not provide any evidence to support this claim and it can be considered speculative.
    • The Panthers likely don’t have a clean bill of health – no team does at this time of year. But Florida isn’t limping into the final like last year, which should make for a better-quality series.
    • McDavid is a sight to see every time he steps on the ice, and that has only been amplified in the playoffs.
    • Forsling has emerged as one of the best shutdown defensemen in the league, which likely earned him some votes for the Norris Trophy.
    • Just look at his level over the last few postseasons. In 2022, McDavid willed the Oilers through two rounds with a ridiculous 33 points in 16 games.
