message: It is by no means a generally accepted fact that the phrase, "Go West, young man" derives from John B. L. Soule. See the discussion of the controversy on the page for the phrase, and see the discussion of this topic in the Yale Book of Quotations (2006). Encyclopedic entries should not make controversial assertions as if they were fact and especially without a citation and a fair treatment of all sides of an issue.

Talk:Assist (ice hockey)

message: there should be a correction, because it states "a give and go", whereas in practice, multiple passes back and forth by two players you would still give an assist to a third player that originally passed it to one of the other two  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zxiaoxi (talk • contribs) 02:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

message: 1. Any good sources on the history of this stat? I went here to see why so few assists tended to be credited in the early years of the NHL, but there's nothing of obvious relevance to that.
2. I heard an announcer say there's an additional rule that, for a goalie to be credited with an assist, he (or she, I assume it's the same in women's hockey) has to be in actual control of the puck. According to this, if the puck deflects off your skate or something without you ever seeing it, goes to a teammate, and that teammate (or the next player they pass to) scores, you get an assist if you're playing any other position, but not if you're a goalie. If this is true, it should be in the explanation in this article.

thread_title: Presuming broad use of 'Centre'

message: The blurb on 'Front of net positioning' is not accurate. Centres, more often than not, are amoung the smaller players on a hockey team. Screening in front of the net is reserved for either a crazy SOB, or a larger player.  In saying this though, there are instances where a coach could designate his centreman to screen the goalie.  I just dispute that screening would be a centre's main function in the offensive zone. Good day.

thread_title: occidental v occipital

message: The article discusses NHL requirements, but doesn't address amateur and minor-league requirements. I am aware that there are different age-based requirements regarding cages versus shields in the United States (over 18 can wear a shield, under 18 must wear a cage ... I think .... in different leagues). There is also some confusion regarding the necessity of ear shields and J-clips - both of which are sometimes removed by some players. Finally, the article doesn't address the controversy regarding whether coaches on the ice should be required to wear helmets. USA hockey and at least one Canadian league have made helmets for on-ice coaches mandatory. USA Hockey has stated that sanctioned practices will become un-sanctioned (and uninsured) if coaches fail to wear the helmet. I'm willing to do some ground work on this, but I'm not an expert.

message: "A series of eye injuries, most notably that to Bruce Fogarty, have led to a call from many to enforce their wearing."
There has never been a Bruce Fogarty in the NHL. There was a Bryan Fogarty, who passed away in 2002, eleven years before the NHL mandated visor use, and his troubles were less injury-related than they were alcohol-related.
In 2013, when the NHLPA and the owners were in a heated discussion over how mandatory visors needed to be, Marc Staal--one of the most vocal players against requiring visors--nearly lost his right eye to a stray puck, and practically overnight, everyone had a shiny new visor on, including all of the Staals. In the sudden quiet, the NHL was able to pass the grandfather clause we have today to little or no opposition.
In my mind at least, the Staal accident is more pertinent to the discussion than Fogarty.
:Just gonna make a response here that Bruce Fogarty does not appear to exist as a player at all, let alone in the National Hockey League. I replaced him in the artice with Greg Neeld, the first player to wear a visor in professional hockey who lost his eye in a junior game, and Bryan Berard.

message: Can you please provide a WP:reliable source to WP:verify your claim that "the NHL did in fact announce it"?  I can't find any announcement from the NHL.  If it hasn't been announced, then we shouldn't be trying to predict the future.  And if it has been announced, it certainly needs to be sourced.
Also, why do you say that mentioning the closure of the channel with the rest of the history is "awkward"?  This content fits much more naturally with the intimately related discussion of TSN loosing the NHL rights (which is why it closed) and the NHL reconsidering the future of the channel.  The way you've written it the reader has to read half an article to figure out what the end result of that reconsideration is.  And why do you want an entire section dedicated to the single sentence on the closure?  Policy (MOS:PARAGRAPHS) says "Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading".  Why ignore the MOS? TDL (talk) 01:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:National Hockey League Players' Association

message: When the article says
[The Owners] also filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, saying that the union has been negotiating in bad faith and that their threat to disclaim interest is a negotiating ploy that violates the collective bargaining process.[5] With the decertification, this would have effectively made all NHL players free agents.
''
it's badly worded. "Decertifying" means that the players are dissolving the union and are free to sign non-union-approved playing contracts with teams (e.g. for lower than the union minimum salary.) When talking about sports, the more common meaning of the phrase "free agent" is "not currently signed to a club, so any club can sign them." Decertifying the union would not have voided current player contracts and allowed players to sign with new clubs.
The NFL Players Association has successfully decertified itself several times, but that did not void any existing player contracts.

Talk:Joe Malone

message: It seems the claims that if people extrapolated Malone's 44 goals to a modern nhl season, his feat would have surpassed Gretzky. Now granted using this interpretation of calculating goals to games played would yeild such an interpretation. But this should have a reference. Because just as easily one could say he played 60 minutes in each of those games, and a more accurate comparison would be he played a maximum of 1200 minutes, and equating to modern statistics hed have 44 goals in 60 games in today's Nhl, assuming that he would play  20 minutes a game - all original research, I know but that is my issue. The current text is worded that way anyway. I think there must be some references out there that provide a fair view of interpreting older statistics so that they have meaning to today's hockey reader.
