    My board (and the Sports Stats JSON db) was down for several days
    due to issues with Charter. Finally got things squared away, and
    we're back. Sorry!

    Not a problem..... but you should also know the NHL has completely revamped their website so nothing works again. :/

    Bill,

    Today I finally got some time to revist the NHL scraper in Sports Stats. I've fixed it up so that it's pulling data directly from their JSON API, rather than trying to parse the HTML pages.

    You (and anyone else running Sports Stats) don't need to do anything on your end. Your Sports Stats door should simply resume grabbing NHL stats from my DB.

    Please keep an eye on it. I'm sure there will be weird things that pop up since I had to totally redo it. If you notice any problems, just give me a holler.
