The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Oilers are one away from tying the NHL record of 17 wins set by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992-93. However, this statement is incorrect as there have been multiple teams to win more than 16 games consecutively before. Secondly, it states that Edmonton has not allowed more than two goals in its past 14 games. This statement is also incorrect as the Oilers allowed three goals against Nashville on Saturday (January 27th). Thirdly, the article quotes McDavid stating that they have been playing great and their goaltending has been good. However, this contradicts previous statements made by Knoblauch about needing a break for some of the players who are banged up. Lastly, it is stated that Edmonton will be off for nine days during the extended break which could potentially disrupt their momentum.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it quotes McDavid and Draisaitl saying that the streak is special. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing the streak as 'exciting' and a 'great run'. Additionally, there are examples of informal fallacies such as dichotomous depiction in phrases like 'we found a way to get three wins', which implies that they were struggling beforehand. The article also contains an example of an appeal to emotion when it describes the streak as being impressive and special.
The streak is exciting
It's been everybody all together pulling on the rope
We have been a bit sloppy the last three games but have obviously had some individual performances that have gotten us the wins. You need that sometimes too.

The article contains a lot of positive language about the Oilers and their winning streak. The author uses phrases like 'exciting', 'amazing' and 'great run'. They also quote players saying things like 'It's been everybody all together pulling on the rope.' This suggests that there is a sense of unity among the team, which could be seen as positive bias.
The Oilers have been vastly improved since and are 26-6-0 under Knoblauch. They also had an eight-game winning streak from Nov. 24 to Dec. 12.
The streak is impressive considering how improbable it seemed when the Oilers got off to a 2-9-1 start and fell to the bottom of the NHL standings. The struggles led to coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant Dave Manson being replaced by Knoblauch and Hall of Fame defenseman Paul Coffey, respectively, on Nov. 12 with Edmonton at 3-9-1.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Oilers have won their 16th straight game and are one win away from tying the NHL record for most consecutive wins. However, this statement is misleading because it does not mention that they lost a game during this streak which would make them tied with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Secondly, McDavid states that they found a way to get three wins in their last week despite playing poorly which contradicts the fact that they only won two of those games. Lastly, Skinner mentions how he is guessing they will lose again but does not provide any evidence or reasoning for this statement.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the Oilers as a team that has been playing well for five weeks and excelling in areas atypical to past success. However, this is not entirely accurate as the Oilers have only won 16 games out of their last 20 games (not five). Secondly, the article mentions that Kris Knoblauch has had a great record behind the bench with a .950 save percentage during the winning streak. However, this is not entirely accurate as Skinner's performance was crucial in many of these wins and his save percentage should be included in this statistic. Thirdly, the article mentions that Stuart Skinner has been nearly perfect in his performances during the winning streak with a .935 save percentage since Nov. 24 and a .950 mark during the winning streak. However, it is not clear if these statistics are accurate as they do not include any information on how many games were played or what other factors may have influenced Skinner's performance.

This statement implies that because it is true, it must be correct without providing any evidence or reasoning for why this should be accepted as fact. Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used to describe the Oilers' success and their opponents' failures.
