I just uploaded a dataset for anyone who's interested in to play with: http://behindthenet.ca/scratches.txt. These are the official reported regular season scratches since the lockout.
Columns are:
1) ESPN game number
2) Team
3) Player
4) Reason
5) Month
6) Day
7) Year
8) Datenum
9) Team Number
10) Injury type (1 = Scratch, 2 = Healthy, 0 = all other)
11) Season (2005-06 = 1)
Enjoy…
