Comments (note, outside my comfort zone, knowing zero about NHL but article looked interesting!)

• "in a league-record for" don't think this needs to be hyphenated, if it said "in a league-record number of minutes" it would be...
  • Changed as suggested.
• "The 213 minutes assessed against Philadelphia were also a record" was also a record?
  • Changed as suggested.
• "as were the " was? the record is singular.
  • Changed as suggested.
• " incidents were precipitated by an incident" repetitive.
  • Changed to "events were precipitated by an incident".
• "of the hockey game" is hockey needed here?
  • Removed.
• "got involved" strong dislike for "got", perhaps "became"?
  • Changed as suggested.
• "The first instance angered..." sorry, which first instance?
  • Changed to "The first of these angered.." Does that make any more sense? (It might not.)
• "late February" now I think that should be hyphenated.
  • Changed as suggested.
• Is there a link for "high-sticking"?
  • Yup, added.
• "leaving their crease as well as fighting majors" bit jargon loaded here, not helpful for non-experts.
  • I added a link for "leaving their crease" and "fighting". Major penalty was already linked to in the background section.
• "face-off" is linked somewhat late in the article...
  • It is linked in the lead, and then the first usage in the body.
• "Within 24 second of" missing s.
  • Oops. Added.
• "a misconduct and double game misconduct" again, jargon heavy, no links, help!!
  • Added a link for "misconduct". "Game misconduct" is already linked. Should I put a note to explain the "double"?
• " that the Senators "knew we had to fight back.... " now, in this quote I would think that you should replace "we" with "[they]" so the sentence (including the part before the quote) makes grammatical sense.
  • Changed as suggested.
• "with lots of" with many, with numerous, just something a little more toned than "lots of".
  • Changed as suggested.
• "head coach, Jacques Martin. However, he was restrained by Flyers Public Relations Director Zack Hill.." merge, to "... Martin, but was restrained..."
  • Reworked this a bit, how is it now?
• "despite some bluster" is this encyclopedic?
  • Nope, changes to "despite some claims"
• Any reason why the score in the Box score table is in bold?
  • It's the way it's done in all the hockey article with that table. I made it plain text though.
• "Number in parenthesis " -> parentheses.
  • Oops. Fixed.
• Be consistent with linking player's names in the penalty table, e.g. you relink Fisher, but not Somik for some reason.
  • Oops. Fixed.
• "John LeClair" not "John Leclair"
  • Oops. Fixed.

Very interesting read. A whole different world... I'll put it on hold to look at these quibbles, nothing major though. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:08, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the review. It's something different to cricket, that's for sure! I've addressed each of your points. Harrias ^talk 08:50, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Good stuff, I have no problems with your fixes, so I'm happy to promote to GA. Nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:59, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
