Talk:2008–09 Calgary Flames season

Alternate Captains
As of the first game, Todd Bertuzzi and Craig Conroy wore the assistant captain letters. Shouldn't this be changed from Regehr? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.222.238.95 (talk) 03:18, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Bertuzzi only wore the A because Regehr wasn't playing. Resolute 03:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

External links to recaps
I saw this on the 2008–09 Vancouver Canucks season article. The tables with the schedules and results features an external links to the recap at NHL.com and I wondered if recaps for Flames games should be added. They add significantly interesting material for anyone who would wish to read more about the matches, therefore in my eyes satisfying WP:EL. Any thoughts?--Fogeltje (talk) 08:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally, I find them to be a gross violation of WP:EL. The goal is to have a minimum of external links, not a maximum.   There is a general reference at the end which points to the Flames' game log on ESPN, and from there a reader can access any game.  Ultimately, one external link is better than 50+, IMNSHO.

 * Yup this was brought up at WP:HOCKEY awhile back and I believe it was decided to not use them on season articles, so eventually the Canucks one will lose them. It's a pretty major violation of WP:EL. -Djsasso (talk) 17:04, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware there had been a discussion already. So never mind. --Fogeltje (talk) 21:17, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. The great thing about a Wiki is that there is never too much discussion.  :) Resolute 05:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I also hadn't noticed the mentioned link to ESPN. This is of course more than enough, but I wasn't aware there was a site which provided easy access to game recaps. So far I was doomed using the NHL site and go to the recaps by finding the appropriate game day (the new NHL site has made this less easy as well); in that light, in my opinion, links to individual recaps would not violate WP:EL, since it provides extra information for interested readers (the point of external links) and there was no way to access them easily. However, seeing the one link that provides it all makes individual links redundant and indeed in violation of WP:EL.--Fogeltje (talk) 09:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
