Talk:Dale Hunter

wikified
cleaned it up a little. I want to remove the negative stuff, but I guess that's not the Wikiedia way. This should be rechecked before the tag is removed. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim  00:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Reference for "went too far"
Regarding the hit on Pierre Turgeon, there should be a reference. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 04:32, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Added one, though a better one for the whole section than for that particular quote. Though the whole section really needed a citation too. Neil Hunt (talk) 19:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Decline?
The article contains these somewhat contradictory statements: "Hunter was traded to the Washington Capitals in return for a draft pick used to select Joe Sakic." and "His leaving made Quebec very sad, and was seen as an obvious "mistake" linked to the team's future decline." Now, setting aside the accuracy of the statements or the sources they come from, or that it may violate NPOV, but does anyone in their right mind think Sakic-for-Hunter was a bad trade for the Quebec/Colorado organization? Sakic topped 100 points two years after the trade, whereas Hunter never topped 80. 24.79.89.131 (talk) 23:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps repetitious but prone to vandalism
At least 4 unhelpful (biased) edits have been made to the Turgeon incidemt, and I have fixed 2 of them. This needs to be more carefully monitored. While perhaps "vicious attack" was too strong, given the physical nature of Ice Hockey, the severe discipline for the incident speaks for itself. Hunter was lucky that he did not cause more serious injury. -- The incident seems less vulnerable down in "controversies" but bears inclusion above as it affected his playing status at Washington. It is, arguably, Hunter's most prominent notoriety outside the cities where he played and coached.2600:8807:4813:E000:E400:92A8:1653:CE31 (talk) 00:47, 2 March 2021 (UTC) dfiifnik not logged in
