Just look through the last 100-150 edits to this article when you have a minute and you'll see my argument to semi-protect this article for a while. Deadman137 (talk) 23:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Deadman137, Done. Very excited to see who gets the second Eastern Conference wildcard spot tonight. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- There is a scenario where it could go to tomorrow night, but then I have to be on top of all the possibilities. Either way sit back and enjoy the games tonight. Deadman137 (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- The removal of the Mailloux/Newhook milestones as well as the Wideman retirement entries within their respective tables is disruptive to this page and should likewise be subject to the same sort of repercussion. This was done strictly out of spite in highlighting that 3-way trade formatting was/is prelevant across other NHL team pages. 2605:B100:B24:F40C:8C4F:588C:F15B:C723 (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
On an unrelated but hockey related note we have ban evading edit warrior using multiple IP addresses at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season, the article needs semi-protection. Deadman137 (talk) 00:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
The IP that was causing the problems at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season has created an account User:HabsFan2293. They also edited while on their block. The block started with this edit [1] and as you can see they started back up later that same day. [2]
It is a clear duck and the article will likely need further protection. Deadman137 (talk) 04:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Deadman137, Seems I have free time since I am certainly not celebrating a win tonight. EC protected. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks again. That was not an entertaining game, anytime I start working on the game summary that early and it's not an elimination game then I know it's bad. I've covered so many playoff games that I'm neutral in most games now, even with teams that I don't like. Plus I cannot really show any favouritism in the role that I work in.

- New sock for HabsFan2293 is 47.54.200.195. Deadman137 (talk) 01:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Was blocked by the time I got to them! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 12:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
