Lead
  • The franchise's first head coach was Red Kelly, who coached for two complete seasons. Andy Murray is the franchise's all-time leader for the most regular-season games coached (480), the most regular-season game wins (215), and the most regular-season points (519); Tom Webster is the franchise's all-time leader for the most playoff games coached (28); Barry Melrose is the franchise's all-time leader for the most playoff-game wins (13), and the highest playoff winning percentage (.542), which is the only one over .500. -- the only one over .500 in what? NHL history or the Kings' history?
  • Melrose is the only coach to have won a conference championship in the Kings, which was won in the 1993 Stanley Cup playoffs. -- Don't you mean "with the Kings" and not in the Kings?
References
  • For refs like number 4, wouldn't the publisher be NHL.com and the work would be from Lincoln Hockey and National Hockey League, like SLAM! Sports is the work of the publisher Canadian Online Explorer.
Do, it shouldn't, since Lincoln Hockey and National Hockey League are the publishers, and NHL.com is where the work came from. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 00:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha.--TRUCO 00:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Who/what is Lincoln hockey? I don't see it stated anywhere on the sites in the refs that have it.

  • "who coached for two complete seasons. "
Some coaches coaches for two season, but may have been fired during the season. also, it's nothing wrong with putting "complete". -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 21:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"complete" is understood unless you specify otherwise. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I just said that some coaches don't complete their last season, or came in when the season started. Also, there's no clear reason why "complete" should be removed. What matters is that the grammar is all right, which it is. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 00:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is a unnecessary word. When readers see "coached for two seasons", they will assume "complete" unless otherwise told. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done, but still believe removed it is not needed. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 03:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "which was won "
Removed "which was won", since it'll sound awkward with the "won" when having "which was" removed. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 21:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image caption: "coached the Kings for four complete seasons."
