Again, cannot emphasize how much I enjoy seeing things like this. For the longest time it felt (and sometimes still does) hockey was so far behind the times from a historical archive perspective. Sites like Hockey-Reference and Nhl.com have come leaps and bounds sharing historic boxscores and game logs. I still think we have a long way to go as a site like baseball reference is the end-all be-all to baseball stats as the data they've acquired has so many layers.
Would love if a site like Hockey-Reference somehow acquired data from someone like the Hockey News and could post summary recaps and game notes (like what you've posted for those first two 88-89 games). I get that is a huge undertaking but I feel like would be such a valuable tool from an Archival perspective and is incredibly important.
