Talk:List of Boston Bruins records

Format

I originally began to add the Bruins records similar to the way that List of New York Rangers records was set up but I think that i will change to how the List of Calgary Flames records is set up but since none of the records pages has reached Featured list status there is no set way in which these have been edited, I'm not sure if the page would be better suited to a different format.

Sourcing

I've just made a heap of corrections and updates, and no doubt will make some more. May I make a suggestion to any other editors who do so? Don't source exclusively from the team's website. The stat compiler for the Bruins' website - and since NHL.com is linked, no doubt for all the others as well - just plain omits information for many players. Especial issues are 1970s stats, and especially for players active before 1967, when the league first started keeping official track of PPG, SHG, GWG and plus-minus. This makes, at the least, team rankings for active players not in Top Five or Top Ten lists highly inaccurate. The answer is to look at other sources. The HHOF website keeps plus-minus stats, and you can go to NHL Media Guides or Total Hockey for other stats.

Beyond that, a little common sense, please? I damn near fell out of my chair to see Bobby Orr, the single-season plus-minus record holder and 2nd all-time in cumulative plus-minus, left off the list here ... closely followed by my incredulity at anyone thinking that Johnny Bucyk might not, in fact, figure prominently in career power play goals, or Derek Sanderson in short handers.
