I've started work on a lemmybot that can be run using python to automatically run a score-tracker in a post! There's still some work to go to make it more user friendly but getting the link out early. There will be a few updates to the script to cache some information and to make it easier to pick the team without needing the teamID from the nhl api prior to the preseason.

If anyone who codes wants to help I'll also gladly merge pull requests as they come in.

Oooh, nice! We should also set up /c/test or something one whatever local server you're on. Actually, that's a good idea. I'll do it now on my instance, if it isn't already.

That is a great idea. Once I get a bit of the outstanding issues resolved I'll have an update to the readme posted in the dev branch with some info on how to test it against a game that's already completed as well. I want to finish figuring out the post body info/formatting before doing much more testing. Once this thing seems ready I'm going to ask my server about creating a bot account to use for at least my community. Ultimately once the 1.0 is finished it might be worth extending this so a single server could have a daemon of sorts to scrape upcoming games and post on the respective community's (if their mods request it).
