I have added some paragraphs to the lead of this article, which I think live up to good standards. All of the playoff information in the table itself is adequately sourced. This article should meet the Featured List criteria. Thank you. XR228 (talk) 06:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude, @MPGuy2824, @PresN, are there any other suggestions for this article? This conversation seems kind of dead. XR228 (talk) 05:27, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "From the 1926–27 season through the 1937–38 season, Boston played in the American Division." - don't think this needs to be a note as it's quite clear from the table. Maybe replace the text of this note with something like "with effect from the 1926-27 season, the NHL split into [however many] divisions because of [reasons]"
  • That's what I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have made the changes. XR228 (talk) 00:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Four of the unnecessary "would"s are still present..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:22, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed it. XR228 (talk) 02:38, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The terms in the "Key of terms and abbreviations" table aren't necessary. You can just use the {{Abbrev}} template in the header cell. e.g. W, L, T. For some of the others a footnote would do.
  • Please fix "{{sronly|caption_text}}".
  • The "↑" symbol isn't necessary IMO since it is always mentioned next to text stating that they "won the Stanley Cup finals vs Opponent X".
  • In the result column, there is no need to mention multiple wins of the same season. Just the best win can be included. i.e. SF is better than QF, and Final is better than SF.
  • Making the table sortable would involve some work, but it would be useful imo.
  • That's all I got. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:28, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I feel it is necessary to keep a full list of opponents faced in a season; all the other NHL season featured lists do it. Same goes for many of the other suggested changes. XR228 (talk) 04:19, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    With regards to point 4 - virtually all season tablea across all sports have playoff progression, rather than just whatever the best result was. The Kip (contribs) 19:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have made the appropriate changes. XR228 (talk) 01:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Now that you've added sorting to the table, I would expect the results column to show in the following order when sorted in descending order: all the Stanley Cup final wins at the top, followed by Stanley cup final losses, followed by losses at the semi-final stage, and so on. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:25, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @MPGuy2824 I have made the changes (it is almost 1:00 a.m. and I am ready to die). XR228 (talk) 07:53, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support promotion. If interest and time permit (after you get up), please take a look at my FL nom. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the Support. I think your nom looks good. XR228 (talk) 18:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
