Talk:No Goal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Renaming this article
I've never heard of this being specifically called "No Goal". It could be referred to any "no goal" call in particular. I think it should be moved to Brett Hull's 1999 overtime goal or something similar. --Wafulz 03:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, I doubt the incident itself should have a separate article. More likely, it should be part of a larger article like 1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs (which doesn't exist yet either, but at least there are equivalents from more recent years to give an idea of what it would look like). --Michael Snow 22:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I wouldn't mind seeing that article created. If I have time this weekend, I might go ahead and do it. --Wafulz 22:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is precedent for having the popular name of a particular sports play as its own article (Wide Right, Music City Miracle), but as it stands, this article is too short for even a stub. There is already more content at the Buffalo Sabres main page... --Jaysweet 23:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I've provided some more context. I don't know about renaming yet; the Buffalo version is significant enough to discuss, but not well-developed enough to have its own article (though upon more reading I'm persuaded that it at least could be). If it eventually is, then "No Goal (Buffalo Sabres)" or "No Goal (1999 Stanley Cup)" might be appropriate places to move that content. --Michael Snow 21:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- My question is this: Is it widely known as "No Goal?" I've always just heard of it referred to as "Brett Hull's goal" or something similar on pretty much every discussion (online and offline). --Wafulz 21:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- It seems to be in use as the name for this event in Buffalo, at least. To illustrate that, I've found an article from the Buffalo News with the phrase, even eight years later. Some forum and message board postings exist, too, for what that's worth. The name is regional, to be sure, but the problem is that as you indicate, it doesn't really have a name elsewhere, so there's nothing else to call it in the title of an article. --Michael Snow 22:04, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
