The Eastern Conference final of the NHL playoffs kicked off with an intense Game 1 between the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers. Both teams came into the game with impressive records, but it was the Panthers who emerged victorious, winning 3-0.
The first goal of the game came from Matthew Tkachuk of the Panthers at 16:26 into the first period. The Rangers had a chance to even things up when Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored what appeared to be a goal, but it was disallowed due to goaltender interference by Ryan Lomberg.
The second goal for the Panthers came from Carter Verhaeghe, who deflected Igor Shesterkin's clearing attempt past his own netminder in an unfortunate own goal incident. The third and final goal of the game was scored by Sam Bennett in an empty net situation.
Despite having several opportunities to score, the Rangers were unable to get past Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 23 saves for a shutout. The Panthers' defense was also impressive, holding the Rangers to just five shots in the first period and only two shots in the first 10 minutes of the third period.
The Panthers celebrated their win with high-fives and words of encouragement, while Niko Mikkola plastered New York forward Filip Chytil into the boards to preserve the shutout for his goalie in the last seconds of the game.

The author uses an informal fallacy by personifying the game of hockey and attributing human qualities to it. He states that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and that 'for the opponent, the Panthers are not ooh-inducing, rather ouch-inducing.' This is an anthropomorphism fallacy. The author also uses an appeal to authority when quoting coach Paul Maurice and fourth-line forward Ryan Lomberg. However, these quotes do not contain any logical errors or fallacies on their own.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Our game is pretty straight forward.
But for the Panthers, there is beauty in the blocked shot, the big hit, the sacrificing of the body to make a play,

Deception
(80%)
The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author uses phrases like 'best stretch', 'best save', and 'surprising' to describe Bobrovsky's performance, implying that he was exceptional when the number of shots faced was relatively low. The author also mentions only a few instances where the Rangers had scoring chances but did not connect, while ignoring several instances where they were denied by Bobrovsky or hit the post. This selective reporting creates a skewed perception of the game.

The second goal may have somewhat been on Shesterkin, as he softly played a puck to the wall that Verhaeghe easily recovered
Bobrovsky was alert to stop Kaapo Kakko on a one-timer seven minutes into the third
