Talk:Brad McCrimmon

Report of death in Russian plane crash
Some sources:


 * Although it appears McCrimmon was on board the plane, there was one survivor. Until it is confirmed that he died, we should not list him as dead.Wkharrisjr (talk) 14:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * He was confirmed on the plane by multiple sources, and is not listed as one of the survivors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kraagenskul (talk • contribs) 15:12, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you have a published source stating this? Thanks!Wkharrisjr (talk) 15:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It is in the lede of the article now, that McCrimmon unfortunately was not the lone survivor (Ref.=Times Colonist). --Skol fir (talk) 15:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Wkharrisjr, for adding my reference back to the lede. I don't know why MrDolomite had to remove it. It was critical to the fact that McCrimmon was a victim in this tragedy. --Skol fir (talk) 16:13, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * NHL.com article states McCrimmon's death has been confirmed by "the Russian Times" http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=587792 --141.212.97.17 (talk) 15:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks all. It's better to get this sad story right rather than rush before all the facts are known.Wkharrisjr (talk) 16:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Coaching Stats
I could be wrong, but is it not typical that statistics for coaching only be charted for time served as a Head Coach, not an assistant? After all, the Head is the one who gets credited with wins and losses. I suggest culling the assistant years from the chart; the fact that he'd assisted there is already covered in the body. Thus leaving the Saskatoon Blades stats, which need to be wikified anyway. Echoedmyron (talk) 21:33, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Inconsistency in coaching record
The text indicates that his coaching record with the Blades was 50–79–15. However the statistics table shows it as 50–76–15-3 which agrees with . It appears that the overtime losses were added to the regulation loss total which is incorrect as they are significantly different. I would have corrected the text, but it has the WHL Guide published by the league as a reference which to me seems much more authoritative than hockeydb. How should this inconsistency be consolidated? 99.246.116.118 (talk) 20:07, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The WHL Guide does list McCrimmon at 50-79-15, though its all-time coaching tables are limited only to W-L-T and made no allowances for OTLs. I hadn't even noticed the inconsistency this created from the team record in the tables.   I'll reword the prose a little to bypass this.  Thanks for noticing that!

 * Thanks for the update, and for all good work on GA nominations. 99.246.116.118 (talk) 20:52, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
