Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
  • "but moved to the AHL following the IHL's folding in 2001." "but"-->and
  • "In addition, seven Griffins"
  • You need to make a separate color code for players who both appeared in a Griffins game during the 2008–09 season and

made their NHL debut after playing for Griffins.

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • 'Ninety-eight Griffins have gone on to play in the National Hockey League (NHL);[a] forty-nine of them made their NHL debut after skating for Grand Rapids.' -- 'Ninety-eight Griffins' is not proper grammar, because you should refer to them as players. For example, you wouldn't call Berlin Thunder players Ninety-eight Thunders
  • Okay, maybe the real question here is whether it is proper grammar to refer to them as just 'Griffins' and not Griffins players
  • That's what makes Thunder and Lightning and Avalanche, etc., lame team names. ;) I think referring to them as Griffins is fine, but I added "players" anyway...it does keep it in line with the list title... —Zeagler (talk) 22:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Me neither, but if you can show me a reliable source that shows that just calling them 'Griffins' is proper, than you can just use that. For now, you can use just players and Grand Rapids to replace some of the instances of 'Griffins players', like Grand Rapids alumnus, or Ninety-eight players.--Truco 23:37, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Notes
  • 'Overtime losses occurring in the AHL before the 2004–05 season are worth zero points and instead counted in the "losses" column.' -- You need to add an are before 'instead counted'
  • 'During the 2007–08 season the Griffins rotated the captaincy among Mark Cullen, Ryan Oulahen and Garrett Stafford on a five-game basis.' -- Comma after 'season'--Truco 22:51, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
