Request for playoff stats for skaters and goalies #16

Closed VivalaSedinery closed 7 years ago

VivalaSedinery commented 7 years ago

I'd like to include playoff stats for both playoffs and goaltenders. More data is always better (I've been reading Stat Shot a lot recently).

The location of playoff stats is the same as the other stats, but with the addition of this tag in the url: image

How this is implemented is up to you I guess, whether it's a new flag (ie, --playoffs) or automatic with additional .csv's. My two cents: new flag might be preferable, for the following reasons:

  1. I run the scraper from 2017 every couple of weeks. Needless to try and scrape playoffs when there aren't any.
  2. By the time there are playoffs stats for 2017, there won't be a need to scrape regular season stats anymore, so again, redundant.
  3. I'll have to go back and scrape all the old seasons of old leagues. Leagues for which I already have skater stats. Rescraping those in addition to playoff states would be needlessly time consuming.

This seems pretty doable. I should get it done sometime this week.
