Talk:2010 Stanley Cup Finals

Page title

Before any move regarding whether it should be "Finals" or "Final" in the page title, please review the discussion now archived at Talk:2008 Stanley Cup Finals#Page title. Two years ago, there was a page move war over this very issue, and the consensus reached was to include the "s". Therefore, renaming this 2010 article from "Finals" or "Final" would also be considered a "controversial move", and thus requires a request posted on Wikipedia:Requested moves. Cheers.

In a nutshell, the eventual consensus back then was to continue to use the most common name at the time (per WP:COMMONNAME) instead of the NHL's official preference (see also WP:TRADEMARK). Zzyzx11 (talk) 12:58, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

An RFC in 2016 has ended with keeping the current title with the "S". Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:18, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Rosters

I would suggest using the template for the rosters from the 2008 article. Jmj713 (talk) 22:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Zzyzx11 decided to use the roster templates while the Finals are still going on, that's a good plan. I can re-format it after the series is complete. I just went with the 2009 format originally. Speaking of which, I'll update the 2009 template to be like the 2008 one. One95 (talk) 20:26, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

That's great, thank you. Eventually, all Finals rosters should look that way. I would, however, restrict it to just those players that saw ice time. Jmj713 (talk) 21:17, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Concur, minus the ice time qualifier. They're all on the roster, their names will be on the Cup, and they all get rings. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 11:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

The series

I changed the teams around so they read in the standard format of "Away team" at "Home team" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.9.3.6 (talk) 18:39, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

This subject was also discussed at Talk:2010 Stanley Cup playoffs. The NHL does use away vs. home (which I would be fine with), but Wikipedia has used home vs. away for simlar Stanley Cup articles in recent years. Bcperson89 (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Blackhawks Parade in Chicago

Is there an article or section somewhere regarding the parade in Chicago today? My understanding is that the turnout was substantial (~2million). ---kilbad (talk) 02:39, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Game 6 winning goal controversy

Why is it not mentioned in the article? The goal surely shouldn't have counted. First of all, the light did not turn on which clearly meant that the puck did not go in. Second, that goal was not reviewed thoroughly. They only showed one angle. I'm a Red Wings fan so don't accuse me of being a bitter Flyers fan. Spartan9199 (talk) 22:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm not going to accuse you of being a bitter Flyers fan, or even a bitter fan of the Blackhawks' main division rival. However, like anything else on Wikipedia, all controversial claims must be properly sourced with credible reliable sources, written in a neutral point of view. So either nobody has yet bothered to research it, or they have done some searches but have not found sources that are credible and reliable to back up your claims that the goal "surely shouldn't have counted". Therefore, feel free to improve the page by adding some. Regards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 23:18, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

And incidentally, one could easily refute your two arguments: First, the red light not turning on does not necessarily mean that "the puck clearly did not go in" if both the referee and the goal judge (who is responsible for turning on the light) initially missed the call on the play – that is why there is such a thing as video review/instant replay in the first place. Furthermore, "that goal was not reviewed thoroughly" is more of an opinion; if they feel that the first angle they see gives them "incontrovertible visual evidence" to overturn the original call, then there is no point in seeing the other angles.

extra player5

In the section 2010_Stanley_Cup_Finals#Chicago_Blackhawks_2, there is an extra {{player5 at the beginning of the section, though I can't seem to find out where it exists in the code or why it is displaying. Hopefully another editor's eyes can spot the issue. — MrDolomite • Talk 04:34, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Comeback

Regarding this edit, there are a few issues: First, it is uncited; by opening up the context to all sports, there's a large universe of seven-game series that would have to be examined. Second, the nature of each sport is different; coming back from a deficit of three losses in the NHL is not a directly comparable feat with doing the same thing in MLB. I recognize, though, it is a piece of trivia that interests some. Opinions by others are welcome to help establish a consensus on this matter. isaacl (talk) 23:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I would say the NHL 3-0 comebacks could probably stay, but I'm not sure of the relevance of mentioning other sports leagues comebacks there. Canuck^{89 (converse with me)} 23:27, October 28, 2013 (UTC)

I would definitely leave mention of NHL comebacks but we probably don't need ones from other sports. -DJSasso (talk) 12:17, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

If there is no further discussion, then I will proceed with reversing the edit in question, to remove the comparison to other sports. isaacl (talk) 18:59, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

I have reverted the changes. isaacl (talk) 16:52, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Picture of the day

A panoramic view of the skyline of Chicago from Grant Park, showing the celebration following the Chicago Blackhawks' victory in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals. This was the Blackhawks' first championship since 1961, and the following day the city's mayor Richard M. Daley declared June 11 "Chicago Blackhawks Day".

This image shows the CNA Center, featuring the Blackhawks' logo; the Smurfit-Stone Building, displaying "Go Hawks"; and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower, displaying "Hawks win".Photograph: Daniel Schwen

Quotes section

Regarding this edit: please see the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Archive66#Removal of quotes sections from Stanley Cup Final articles, and the previous discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Archive64#Quotation sections. Based on strength of arguments, there is at present a consensus not to have a separate section for quotes. Please join the discussion at the WikiProject Ice Hockey talk page to discuss the matter further. isaacl (talk) 15:06, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
