   Pass/Fail:

Comments: Good article, very detailed. Like the way that it is seperated into months, keeps everything simple to understand. However a few concerns before I'll pass it: Prose:

• "On December 26, Marc-Andre Fleury made 37 saves in Pittsburgh's first shutout of the season, winning 1–0." Add what team they shutout.
• "On February 21, Crosby acquired his 250th career assist..." Acquired isn't the right word to use there; I'd suggest something like recorded.
• There is inconsistency of spelling Miroslav Šatan; some places have the diacritic in his name, some don't. I personally don't care what is used, as long as its consistant.
• For the stats table, it might be a good idea to differentiate what players were traded away, and who where acquired, rather than grouping all as one.
• Consider making a table for the players who made their NHL debuts; it looks odd seeing a list in the middle of the other tables.
• Penguins team awards is unsourced.
• There is a lack of images for the article, with the only non-playoff one being the back of Letang's head. There are plenty of images of Penguins players, and it would benefit the article. Considering there are images of both Therrien and Bylsma, I'd even suggest using one or both of them as well.

Reference issues:

• Refs 8, 85, 86, 113, 115, 120, 139, 140, 141, 177, 179, 180, 191 doesn't exist.
• Refs 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 29, 34, 35, 38, 41, 42, 43, 45, 48, 74, 77, 79, 81, 154, 165, 168, 175, 178, 182, 183, 186, 187, 188, 189, 199, 200 all redirect to the Penguins home page. This has to do with the NHL revamping the team pages a while back, so most of these articles should still exist on the Penguins site under a different url.

Once these are taken care of, I'll pass it. Kaiser matias (talk) 18:07, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
