Untitled[edit]

I see no reason to merge the entries. It is already the practice that shifted franchises keep their old entries -- cf. the separate entries for the Whalers, the Nordiques, the North Stars, the Jets, etc. -- and technically the Tigers and the Americans were not the same franchise: the New York franchise was granted *before* Hamilton's was revoked. See Charles Coleman's Trail of the Stanley Cup, Vol I. A mention in both articles as to the disposition of Hamilton's players makes sense, but no more than that.

That is fair enough. Basically, I noticed that both articles were stubs and both articles are "almost" the same team. I put the requested merger up to see what other people thought. I actually agree that they are better as separate articles. Thanks for your insight. I will take down my merger request. Masterhatch 6 August 2005

Please explain Finish column?[edit]

Can someone with more knowledge of hockey than me explain the "Finish" column in the season-by-season record? What is meant when it says "Canadian"? For 1925-26 and 1938-39 to 1941-42 it says "NHL", but otherwise it says "Canadian". Weren't the Americans in the NHL their entire existence? Elsquared (talk) 04:55, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The NHL Americans were located in New York but played in the NHL's "Canadian Division" while the Rangers (who shared MSG with the Amerks) were in the NHL's "American Division". Centpacrr (talk) 05:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And, of course, the "NHL" entry recognizes the fact that, reduced from eight teams to seven, the league no longer had divisions. (How ironic that the team named "Americans" was the one U.S.-based team left out of the "American Division"!) WHPratt (talk) 19:50, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
