Analysis

Compare how each side frames the story — including which facts they emphasize or leave out.

Center-leaning sources frame the matchup triumphalist: they use loaded words ('throttled', 'sizzling', 'stifling'), highlight U.S. stats and quotes while marginalizing Canadian context (injury noted, opponent's confidence labeled delusional). Editorial choices—wording, selective emphasis, and quote placement—produce a dominant-U.S. narrative; the Canadian quote remains source content, not editorialized evidence.
