Is it the best idea to have Quebec Nordiques redirected to the Colorado Avalanche page, and list people like Michel Goulet as Hall of Famers?
I was thinking we could have 2 pages, one for Colorado Avalanche and one for Quebec Nordiques. If there were some Hall of Famers from the Nordiques we could link from here to the Nordiques page.
I guess we could have one page for both, maybe once this page gets longer it will become more clear to me how that will be done. dave 02:51, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)
I don't see why there should be seperate pages, because I haven't seen a single professional team that has a seperate article for their former locations and/or team names.
It seems the standard practice is to have one page for each team not seperate pages per what city they played in
I feel that the Nordiques warrant a seperate entry. Although one came from the other, the Nordiques played in a different city, a different arena, had different colours, different jerseys, different rivals, a different logo... in short, the Nordiques and Avalanche, although one came from the other, are two different teams with two distinct identities. In the interest of comprehensiveness I think the two articles should be seperate. In any case it seems kind of funny that the great majority of this article actually is the the history of the Nordiques.
The "standard practice" can be wrong. It should be noted that Atlanta Flames and Calgary Flames have seperate articles. I created the seperate article because I felt that redirecting "Quebec Nordiques" to the Colorado Avalanche article just didn't do the team or the topic justice. I also don't support merging Winnipeg Jets and Phoenix Coyotes, Hartford Whalers and Carolina Hurricanes, etc. You could make an analogy of merging the USSR article with the Russia article. --Legalizeit 13:18, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I feel it's a worthwile move to separate both pages. They're the "same" franchise, but they share completely diveregent histories. Just look at their historical rivalries. The Habs-Nordiques provincial rivalry of the 80's never carried over to the Avs. Likewise, all the bad blood between the Avs and Wings in the playoffs is irrelevant to the original Nordiques team. --Madchester 17:18, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)

[edit] Avalanche/Nordiques
I removed the Nordiques history since it's on Québec Nordiques already and replaced it with Colorado's history since moving to Denver. I'm a Predators fan, so I might have gotten it all gummed up and some of it was from memory, but I think I did pretty good. Kevin Rector 05:13, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of Colorado Avalanche players
I have started a List of Colorado Avalanche players. When you add new players to the main Avalanche article, could you also add them to the players list? thanks! Masterhatch 12 August 2005
shoud kids beable to add to this artical
As long as the content you add is worthy of being in the encyclopedia, it doesn't matter how old you are. We have some great contributors who are kids and also some terrible contributors who are adults. Academic Challenger 01:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Season-by-season record
While adding a Grand Totals to the season-by-season records I realised that there is an error. The Avalanche have played a total of 820 regular season games in ten seasons, yet the number of W, L, T and OTLs only add up to 819. I haven't actually corrected it yet, since it's a hell of a hazzle to find out where the error is. And since I'm not an Avalanche fan myself I don't want to spend too much of my time on it. But in case one of you Avalanche fans would like to correct the information on the page, www.hockeydb.com would be an excellent place to starts. Cheers! JesperLærke 13:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
It looks like there was a simple math error in the OTL column: the total comes out to 30 instead of 29, which accounts for the extra game. --Audee 23:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Captain Sylvain Lefevbre?
For the last few weeks, i've been involved in an edit conflect with anon user 72.174.2.93. The anon user, continues to post Lefevbre in the Team Captains section, however he/she provide no verifiable evidence. Yes Lefevbre did fill in as captain for an injured Sakic, but every Avalanche offical media guides that I've seen, listed only Sakic as captain. Who is correct, can someone please resolve this dispute? GoodDay 19:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I was wrong, the Avalanche media guide fot the 1997-98 NHL season apprantly lists Lefebvre as captain. Oh well, excuse me while I eat crow. GoodDay 23:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Incorrect Info
Yo, I was looking at the roster, and I saw that Peter Budjai's birthplace was somewhere in Czechoslavakia (I don't know how to spell that word), but when I put the cursor over his nationality flag (which I noticed wasn't the same flag as listed beside other Czech players), a little bar popped up that listed the flag as that of Slovakia. Can someone please fix this?Ohyeh 23:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
According to the article on Banská Bystrica, it is in the center of Slovakia, so I changed the info to say Slovakia instead of Czechoslovakia. The thing is, when he was born, it was part of Czechoslovakia, and became Slovakia in 1993. His place of birth is in Slovakia, currently, but should the article go by current name or the name at the time? --Audee 20:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- The name at the time, which is universal practice for encyclopedias in general, as well as that of Wikipedia and the WikiHockey project. Czechoslovakia is quite correct. RGTraynor 21:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Good to know; changed it back to Czechoslovakia and changed the flag also. --Audee 02:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
