Hockey Night in Canada goes back much farther than 1952 when it first aired on television. National hockey on CRBC/CBC began in 1933, and Hockey Night in Canada was first used as the program's name in 1936. My Deep Dive on the history 👇 canadaehx.com/2022/07/30/h...

I'm always on the lookout for women's hockey creators to follow, learn from, and potentially collaborate with as TIG's Editor in Chief. Please let me know some of your favorites (journalists, analysts, must-follow accounts, podcasts, artists, etc) especially if they are new(er) to the scene!

More double OT means more extra wide game flows

As is tradition with any game that makes it further than 1OT, Sens-Canes game 2 gets the full width game flow charts

As mentioned, there will be a bit of downtime this morning for some server maintenance

The issues with the playoff team and player stats seem to have been fixed for now, but expect some maintenance downtime during the day tomorrow

Eastern and Western Conference wild card standing timelines for the season. Count the number of teams in the east that looked *DONE* to end up at least back in the conversation in the last week Then you have the Avs being stapled to the top of the Central box since the start of November

Sunny Mehta has been hired as the New Jersey Devils GM. What are your thoughts on the hiring?

Know ball and data? Come work with me building the next generation of basketball statistical insight: jobs.ashbyhq.com/teamworks/ae...

Expect bot/scraper/excel/sheets/etc traffic not pointing at data.naturalstattrick.com to stop working sometime tomorrow.

Under a week to transition any scrapers, google sheets, etc, and probably before the season ends (looking like it'll be somewhere between Tuesday and Thursday)

UPDATE: I am giving this one more shot on social media. Does anyone know a good WordPress web designer or someone who has experience in publishing on WordPress? DM me here.

Reminder: if you run a scraper on NST, you've got a little over a week to switch over to this before the anti-bot/scraper traffic restrictions get dialed up on the main site

For the back to work on Easter Monday crowd

Hunh. You don't see the "x" skip a team too often

Did I post this while forgetting to actually open the signup form up? Yes I did. It's on the profile page now, though. I'll be happy if that's the only hitch with launching this.

So, here is that fundamental change - a new subdomain has been set up SPECIFICALLY for data scraping, bots and any other forms of automated access. (and intended to be the only way fairly soon, but more on that a bit later in the thread)

Google Docs issues should be fixed now

This is continuing to cause problems, specifically server timeouts right now. Working on a solution

If you are confused about what Goaltender Interference is, please consult "The Chart"

Experiencing some server load issues right now, so expect some load errors for the next little bit. Working to have it stable again before tonight's games start

I think, in 12 years, I have thankfully only recieved 2 similar-ish emails. One MANY years ago asking me to pad the shot count in one game so the guy could win a personal bet against a friend, and another wanting me to reverse a scoring change that the league made post-game

If you have noticed some extra scraping restrictions since yesterday, 🤬 you for the thousands of requests per hour

The NHL has postponed tonight’s Kings vs. Blue Jackets game due to severe winter weather.

As per Elliotte Friedman, Chicago has traded Laurent Brossoit, Nolan Allan and a 2028 7th round to pick San Jose for Ryan Ellis, Jake Furlong and a 2028 4th round pick. #Blackhawks  #TheFutureIsTeal  #NHL

A new way to express how wild the East has been this season: Every team has been on the outside of the playoffs except Carolina. Every team has held a DIVISIONAL playoff spot at some point. (previous post said Buffalo hadn't been in the playoffs yet - I missed the 1 day they were)

Schedule update: Tonight's Blue Jackets @ Senators game has been moved back to 7:30pm EST from 7pm

Seattle Kraken fans get a sneak preview of what's coming in the next @hockeygamebot.com update tomorrow. At the end of each period » possession metrics from @naturalstattrick.com broken down by period & the total for the game. Helps to visualize a bit of game flow! #SeaKraken

Interesting look at the goings on behind the scenes, and I've definitely seen some impact. The NHL has been adjusting the stat sheets (in game and post-game, and sometimes over a week later) as long as I've been doing this, but the volume of changes is way up.

Colorado really needs to pick up the pace if they want to... uhh... *checks notes* ...clinch a playoff spot before the Olympic break

But this one is sticking around

A bit under 4 hours until this one disappears

Again for the afternoon crowd

The second (and permanent) feature is a "timeline" of the standings for each conference over the course of the season - both the order of the standings, and the scale of the point gap. Available for the overall conference standings, and for the wildcard standings.

Two new features for the standings page - one temporary, one permanent. First, TODAY ONLY, a handy visual cue to identify which teams are 4+ points out of the playoffs as of US Thanksgiving. It'll be gone once the clock ticks over to Friday!

And you know what, while you're at it give @hockeyviz.com and @naturalstattrick.com and @moneypuck.bsky.social blue checks as well. Let's get a stew going.

My first instinct when I saw that this morning was "where did my code break" But nope, it's real

Ah, that's better

Love to see the PWHL get serious about their (business side) data!! www.teamworkonline.com/hockey-jobs/...

The start of the NHL season is a couple weeks away and I am working hard on adding new features to The Stanley Cap. Today I am not really announcing a new feature but making a request. I am introducing Subscription Plans and asking for your support. www.thestanleycap.com/subscriptions
