List of players with five or more goals in an NHL game
On December 20, 2007, Marian Gaborik of the Minnesota Wild scored five goals in a single game against the New York Rangers. After some discussion at WT:HOCKEY, we realised that Wikipedia was missing such an important list; after, this feat has been done only 42 times in 90 years, and 6 players account for 18 of these times. User:Krm500 started to work on this list, and I added enough prose to qualify for DYK, and some refs, and I think this list is worthy of featured list status.

Comment Support Being the one who requested the article, I'm still suprised that there is so little available on the subject, including not being listed in the NHL Record Book. I was suprised at how fast the article was created, and how excellent a piece of work it was. Kaiser matias (talk) 04:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't this page be called List of players with five or more goals in an NHL game? Peanut4 (talk) 21:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, because most, if not all, of the pages similar to this one use this naming convention.  Maxim (talk)  23:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you provide some examples, please? -- Crzycheetah 23:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of five to be in line with WP:MOSNUM that numbers from zero to nine are spelt out, and although that says for numbers in the main body of text, I don't see why the title should be any different. Peanut4 (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about List of National Hockey League players with 1000 games played, List of National Hockey League players with 1000 points, List of National Hockey League players with 500 goals, but per MOSNUM, I do think that 5 should be spelled out.  Maxim (talk)  15:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You should add this list to Template:NHL topics. Baldrick90 (talk) 14:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The slam.canoe.ca link is "404 not found" and isn't well formatted. Is it a reliable source, by the way? (Wiki article: canoe.ca, redirects to "Canadian Online Explorer"). --kingboyk (talk) 20:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strange, it's the first Google hit. I have replaced it with the book reference, it's in there as well. canoe.ca is a chain of websites that are reliable news sources.  Maxim (talk)  21:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Books. Unfashionable but good :) Nice one, thanks for the quick response. --kingboyk (talk) 22:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I used an NHL guide to further reference it. It was a little list taking about a third of a page in a 500-600 page book.  Maxim (talk)  14:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Support Five goals in one game&mdash;that's some accomplishment! Good to see it recognized on WP. Nice clean list, and nice use of photos. I like the use of sortable columns too. MeegsC | Talk 11:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * comment This is not a list of players, it's a list of games with five goals by a player. A list fo players doesn't need to list the same playter 3-4 times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Circeus (talk • contribs) 18:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in responding, I missed this on watchlist initially. What do you suggest be done? The list can be reogranized, in alphebatic order by player (but we kinda have sorting tables for that ;-) ) or renaming it again.  Maxim (talk)  22:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Meets all criteria of a FL. Well formated, complete, good use of images.  Resolute 01:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
