Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Joe Sakic — Joe Sakic was named captain of the Quebec Nordiques in 1992 and retained the role after relocation; listing his tenure as starting in 1995 is factually incorrect.

The 2022 Stanley Cup Triumph — Cale Makar was the fifth defenseman to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (after Orr, Potvin, Leetch, and Stevens), not the fourth; Brian Leetch won in 1994, while Scott Stevens won in 2003.

The 2022 Stanley Cup Triumph — The championship drought between the 2001 and 2022 Stanley Cup victories was 21 years, making descriptions of a 'twenty-year' or exact 'two-decade wait' factually inaccurate regarding the specific duration.

Ray Bourque — Bourque was never traded to the Quebec Nordiques; he played for the Boston Bruins until March 2000 when he was traded directly to the Colorado Avalanche.

Ray Bourque — Bourque won his first Stanley Cup in 2001, not 1996 (the Avalanche franchise won in 1996 before Bourque joined the team).

Gabriel Landeskog — The claim that Gabriel Landeskog was the second Swedish-born captain in NHL history is incorrect; he was at least the third (following Mats Sundin and Daniel Alfredsson).

Gabriel Landeskog — The claim that Nathan MacKinnon scored the overtime game-winning goal in Game 6 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals is incorrect; Artturi Lehkonen scored the goal.

2001 Stanley Cup Championship — The entry claims the Avalanche were 'Trailing late in the third period' of Game 7; historically, Colorado led 1-0 entering the third period (Milan Hejduk goal), and New Jersey tied it with approximately two minutes remaining (Jason Arnott goal) before Colorado

2001 Stanley Cup Championship — The trivia section incorrectly lists Roger Crozier as a goaltender who won Stanley Cups with two different franchises; Roger Crozier only won one Cup (Detroit 1950). The correct third goalie to achieve this is Mike Vernon (Calgary/Detroit).

Pavel Bure — Bure was not inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility; he retired in 2005, became eligible for induction in 2008, and was inducted in 2012.

Ray Bourque — Bourque was named captain of the Avalanche immediately upon joining the team in 1996 (Correction: Joe Sakic served as captain; Bourque was an assistant captain).

Ray Bourque — ...inspired younger players like Joe Sakic (Correction: Sakic was already the established captain and veteran leader, not a mentee).

Adam Foote — Intro claims Foote moved to Colorado at age 10 and attended high school there; he was born in Toronto, Ontario, grew up in the Greater Toronto Area, and attended St. Michael's College School in Toronto.

Adam Foote — Intro states he played his entire NHL career with the Avalanche (and Nordiques); he was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in February 2009 and played his final season there before retiring.
