The purpose of the speech is to inspire the hockey team to beat the Soviet team. The coach talks about how the other team is the team that everyone thinks if going to win, but that they will NOT win this time. This is their time, their time to win, their time to show the soviets that they are the best team in the world.

2. Who is the audience? The Hockey coach is talking to the U.S.A. national Hockey team.

3. Which appeal (ethos, pathos, logos) is most prevalent? How do you know? Pathos is the most prevalent appeal. During the time that this movie is set, the cold war between America and the Soviet union was going on. There were a lot of hard feelings on either side of the conflict and this particular speech was very emotional.

4. Is the argument effective? Were any logical fallacies used? The argument was very effective. The players were greatly inspired through the speech and eventually ended up winning the game.

5. How could the argument have been strengthened? The coach kind of insults the players, saying that '9 out of 10 times you'll lose this match' and i feel like that part could have been adjusted to be more strongly delivered.
