Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Flames Nation — The STATS section says 'Division=Pacific Division', but the Atlanta Flames were in the West Division (1972–74) and later the Patrick Division (1974–80), not the Pacific Division.

Flames Nation — The LORE section says the team 'won only two post-season games total', but the Atlanta Flames actually won three playoff games (one in 1978, two in 1979).

Lanny McDonald — The entry states McDonald's assist created the tournament winning overtime goal of the inaugural 1976 Canada Cup, but the winning goal was scored by Darryl Sittler, assisted by Bobby Orr and Marcel Dionne; McDonald did not record an assist on that goal.

Lanny McDonald — The entry says McDonald's middle name, King, was given after Maple Leafs star King Clancy, but this is incorrect; his middle name was actually given after his father's friend.

Bob Johnson — Bob Johnson (ice hockey, born 1931) was a Hall of Fame coach, not a franchise owner; the entry incorrectly lists his role as 'Franchise Owner' and 'Affiliation=Calgary Flames (1980–1986)' with 'Previous Team=Hartford Whalers' and 'Relocated franchise to Calgar
