Update: I don't use or maintain this anymore. If you're comfortable getting going with Python, find my new code, plus some other back-end stuff and examples, at Github.

Great website.
ReplyDeleteWish the NHL would at least release game sheet info from the pre-internet era. They must have these archived somewhere. These could be scraped to gather all sorts of interesting info from years/decades past. E.g. primary & secondary assists, who was on the ice for each goal for/against in various game states, shots-G-A-PTS by game state, whose penalties caused his team be the most short-handed, how many Phil Esposito goals were the result of assists by Orr :), etc.
You can find all kinds of NHL data free here:

Yahoo groups kind suck but this group is full of good files and info.
Is there going to be an update to these scripts so they can be used for the playoffs? When I try to input playoff games, I get an Invalid String error.
ReplyDeleteLove the site! Where's the link for the dropbox with the program to read shift data from nhl.com?
ReplyDeletePlayoffs hopefully coming this summer.
ReplyDeleteShift data in GetPbP. Just run autoupdate—it'll take care of all the regular-season games.
Love these utilities.
ReplyDeleteFYI, the Arizona/Phoenix name switch has caused issues in GetPbP.
