Back here with another New York Islanders list. With the seasons, head coaches, award winners, and players lists out of the way, it was time for another. The statistics have all been double checked, and information is all sourced, and I believe it's all well and good according to our FL criteria! Concerns and comments of any kind are welcomed.

Comments by Reckless182 I would like to remove the flags as per MOS:SPORTFLAGS. I don't see any reason for repeating the same flags over and over. I'm going to take care of that now, so hopefully by the time you see this it will be done. G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] Update: Done! G loss 00:57, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] I'm fairly sure that punctuation should be added in the image captions since you use a comma mid-sentence. Makes sense, done! G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] Other than that a really well made list! --Reckless182 (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] @Reckless182: Thank you for the review and the kind words!

Very good list, I can find very few holes at all, and I'm grasping at straws for these (I'm going to look stupid if someone else comes along with a huge list of things!) "..which took place in the NHL only from 1986–1994 for players in American colleges." I think the word "only" is redundant in this sentence, and to me it reads better without it. Done. G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] "..including their first season participating in the draft (1972) where they selected.." Rather than "where", I think "when" would be more appropriate. Done. G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] I would favour one of the more prominent players as the lead image, maybe Potvin? No problem. Figured I'd go with a recent top pick, but I think your idea makes more sense. G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] You list "Ref(s)" in the key, but as far as I can see, don't use it in the article? Oops, copy and paste error from the Detroit draft picks list. Fixed. G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply] Should the Islanders themselves be listed as the publisher for refs 12 & 13? No, I don't believe so. The Islanders' website is "islanders.nhl.com" - which shows that its a website from the NHL and the information all comes from them rather than the team. At least that's what I've seen in other articles and make sense to me. G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All that said, I'm tempted to oppose the list based on the 7–4 drubbing my Flyers received yesterday... Harrias ^talk 23:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Harrias: Haha! It was a great game, what are you talking about? :) Thanks for the review! G loss 23:31, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support, nice work! (I'm hoping for a better result tonight against the Pens, but the season is a bust anyway. Still, it doesn't even start until 00:30 over here, it better be good.) Harrias ^talk 23:41, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again! And I'm pulling for you guys tonight too, keep those Pens off our backs!! G loss 00:57, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support, Great work! --Reckless182 (talk) 11:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
