  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains selective reporting as the author only mentions the faceoff percentages of Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha during the regular season and their poor performance in this series without mentioning their contributions in other areas. The author also implies that these centers' lack of production is a major reason for the Bruins' offensive struggles, but does not provide any evidence to support this claim.
    • The Bruins need much more offensive production from a lot of their forwards, but their top two centers are at the top of the list.
    • The biggest development for the Leafs has been the goaltending of Joseph Woll.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The author makes an appeal to authority by stating that the Bruins have won Game 7 in the first round against the Leafs in previous years (2013, 2018, and 2019). This does not necessarily mean that they will win again this year. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of the Bruins' performance when they are at home versus on the road. The author states that the Bruins split the first two games at home and won two on the road before losing the next two, implying that their performance is inconsistent and unreliable. However, this does not necessarily mean that they will lose in Game 7.
    • ][The Boston Bruins have no more margin for error. They are one more defeat away from blowing a 3-1 series lead in back-to-back seasons.][] The Bruins have won Game 7 of the first round against the Leafs at home in 2013, 2018 and 2019.
    • [The Bruins need much more offensive production from a lot of their forwards, but their top two centers are at the top of the list.]
    • The biggest development for the Leafs has been the goaltending of Joseph Woll. Toronto had an awful .871 save percentage through the first four games. The Leafs made a change and started Woll each of the last two matchups and he has made 49 saves on 51 shots.
  • Bias (95%)
    The author expresses a clear bias towards the Toronto Maple Leafs by focusing on their victories and highlighting their positive aspects, while criticizing the Boston Bruins for their losses and pointing out their shortcomings. The author also implies that the referees made a bad call in favor of the Toronto Maple Leafs, which contributed to one of their goals.
    • It might only take one or two goals to win Game 7 given how well these goalies are playing right now.
      • The biggest development for the Leafs has been the goaltending of Joseph Woll. Toronto had an awful .871 save percentage through the first four games. The Leafs made a change and started Woll each of the last two matchups and he has made 49 saves on 51 shots...
