Coverage

Is it notable enough to include why CBC is airing two USA teams but not Vancouver? Was it a loss in a bidding war with TSN and therefore worthy of inclusion?--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's because CBC gets the first two series picks, and then TSN gets a series pick. Obviously, they were going to choose the Maple Leafs before anything else, but then they were left with choosing one of OTT/MTL or VAN/SJS, knowing than TSN would likely pick up whichever Canadian series was left unchosen.

Has this been treated as a significant issue by a majority of the Canadian media and other reliable sources? Otherwise, it should be treated as original research and left out of the article. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:27, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Previuos matches

The CBC said that Toronto and Boston haven't met in the playoffs in 34 years and then corrected to 1974 later. Would it be too much info to include the last meetings in brackets so that the CBC can source us for their comments? Toronto vs Boston (p. 1974, s. date here). P. for last playoff match and s. for last season match.--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would leave it as is, since I wouldn't worry about what CBC does or where they get their information. Canuck^{89 (talk to me)} 23:23, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

This is already noted in the series description. Jmj713 (talk) 04:35, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago vs. Minnesota North Stars

In the section on the Wild versus the 'Hawks, should we mention previous post-season battles between the former Minnesota franchise and Chicago? – Jwkozak91 (talk) 07:56, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that other than playing in the same city they are two completely different franchises I would say no.--174.95.111.89 (talk) 00:34, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Active players in bold

In the stats section we indicated the active players in bold last year. This indicates who can't move up any longer and who still may be able to. Do we want this to continue this year? Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:47, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see no harm and no valid reason not to do it. Feel free to change it. If it is reverted then we can discuss it.--Canoe1967 (talk) 13:58, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absurdness

Someone from Borneo reading this article would have to spend half an hour to figure out which team actually won the Stanley in 2013. Very poor article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.132.196 (talk) 00:32, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If they don't understand "Chicago won series 4–2" in the finals section, then I feel sorry for their literacy. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:16, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Or the 3rd sentence for that matter "The playoffs ended on June 24, 2013, with the Chicago Blackhawks defeating the Boston Bruins in six games to win the Stanley Cup." -DJSasso (talk) 02:23, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
