✨new scraper✨
I will write some docs, improve the scraper, etc. eventually
✨it notably includes an xG model i built (model gives lower xG values than most other models [can mean I am dumb lol], so expect lots of goals scored above expected)

There was a WHL game where Codey Burki scored in the first shift of the 2nd period that got taken back when the refs remembered they'd given him a penalty at the end of the 1st
Never seen this before:
Nikko Mikkola had a game misconduct. I'm not sure if no one told him or what...but after it was called, he continued to play and assisted on Florida's 8-0 goal.
Minutes later, that one was removed from the scoreboard and it is back to 7-0.

We're talking football! Well kinda. @centralwinger.com asked if anyone was interested in explaining The Zoo model, so I figured I'd give it a go.

Explaining The Zoo
Over on his soccer substack, Devin Pleuler has brought up The Zoo model a couple times while admitting that he doesn’t fully understand how it works. The Zoo was the winning entry to BDB 2020…

It’s hard to put into words what building and scaling the DynastyProcess shiny app has meant to me, but I took a crack at it in this talk and shared some of the lessons it taught me along the way!

This week's Shiny in Production 2024 talk, from Tan Ho, covers how to scale a Shiny app to deal with almost 100,000 visitors per month.

Tan Ho: A minimum viable Shiny infrastructure for serving 95,000 monthly users
All too often, Shiny gets criticized for scaling poorly ‐ and yet the DynastyProcess Shiny app crushes those expectations by serving over 95,000 unique users each month! In this talk, we’ll deep dive into the motivations, architecture, and design decisions driving the development of a massively popular app and share takeaways for scaling up your own apps.

I uploaded all the goal tracking data for 2023/24 to GitHub (across multiple files).
I also included a csv of issues I've found that I may update as I play around some more.

The 8581 goals last year amounts to a little over 13M rows. For reference, BDB this year is almost 60M.
Fewest frames: 89
Most frames: 123
3 goals show the puck recorded as having moved less than 10 ft total.
The one in the QT is at 2:31 of the 2nd from 2023020040.
