Pulling data for ALL games and team stats?

What I'm looking for would be similar to this:

However, I'd want it for all teams, and for multiple seasons. Ideally, it would also list Team A and Team B independently. Anyone know where or how I could get this data?

I had to do something similar for my analysis of shooting efficiency over volume, though I was focusing more on individual performances. I ended up having to creating a tool to parse that website to get the data I wanted. I've also done something similar for college games going back to the 80s, and for player physical traits (height/weight/wingspan/vertical) going back to the 50s.

For all of those my strategy was to code something to automatically generate the URLs I need, and then use those URLs to automatically parse the data I need. The end result is usually a very large, unwieldy spreadsheet (for college games I had a 40 MB text-file).
