[edit] Deletion Suggestion

Any fault of Conklin's is completely impossible to prove and should not be included as part of this article. It is counter to Wikipedia's purpose to make any judgments upon or within the information.

I deleted the part where it sais many people believe he cost them the cup. Thats an incredibly stupid thing to have here. Why not also mention the team blew a 3 goal lead? you can't single handedly blame conklin for it. --Akaces23 23:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] News Flash

[edit] News references

I think that the references to Conklin's playoff performance need not be updated when the links expire- it is pretty much public record, and I doubt substantiation will be a problem. --Scimitar 16:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too Opinionated?

I was reading this paragraph:

"Following the lockout, Conklin entered the new season as Edmonton's probable starting goaltender, backed up by Jussi Markkanen. Given the prevalent idea that either goaltender could assume the starting job, local media began using the nickname "Conkkanen" (which likely originated on internet message boards) to describe Edmonton's starting goaltender. However, during the 2005–2006 season, both goaltenders proved to be ineffective, forcing the Oilers' General Manager Kevin Lowe to acquire Dwayne Roloson from the Minnesota Wild."

I think it's unfair to say that the goalies were ineffective. They got Roli for the playoffs. Markkanen and Conklin were doing well, but I don't think they saw any reason to keep Morrison... -Britishenglish 01:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
