Historic Stats Bug

brigmcneil · 10-26-2025, 07:27 PM

Just a callout that many players have their playoff stats saved as regular-season stats for historic seasons. An example is Roman Josi, who has two rows in his CAREER STATS for 2011-12 Regular Season (10 games and 52 games), and nothing in his Playoff stats for that season. I checked Hockey Reference, and the 10-game row should be playoffs. I found 600 such players and 313 goalies.

In addition, there are 171 retired skaters and 80 retired goalies in the same situation.

Yeah, there's a similar issue with the WHA stats. I can't just delete and re-import because that'd break a lot of historic roster setup data, so I'm cleaning them up manually, which takes a while.

I'm happy to help if you need someone to do simple data inputting/cleaning

There are some other European oddities that I am not sure how you can handle, where players have 2 rows for playoffs, in which one was for a qualifier or round robin round, and the other is for regular playoffs. You would need new game types or something to handle those oddities.
