#2It seems like analyzing the video would be much easier, as you could basically just OCR the on-screen scoreboard.

#3This is great. I use a simple IFTTT recipe to blink my hue's at the start of the Yankees games but the ESPN api hook is always off by 10 minutes or more.

Scoreboards will take a bit longer to react than the announcers and goal horn.

Indeed, on our local broadcast sometimes the scoreboard doesn't change until well after the goal has been reviewed and approved in Toronto.

#7I am impressed that it's able to work for both when the Habs are at home and on the road. The only similar thing would be the commentator's reaction. The ambient sound is reversed (cheers and horns when the Sens score). I would think you would have to train the algorithm separately for both cases, and tell it whether the current game is at home or not.
Anyway, this is very good work, the light setup is very clean. I hope that the (your?) system will get a lot of "true positives" during tonight's game :).

#8You might also have good luck by analyzing the chat data from hockeystreams - just look for when a few dozen people write something along the lines of "GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL", and take it from there.
Granted, not as much fun as setting up the whole system you did, but another option.

#10This is really awesome. I've managed to do something similar, but for the Washington Capitals. When the game starts the lights change to the color of the home team, and when they score the flash. I'm using a little web scraper to pull from nhl.com to get the data, however, sometimes it's quite out of sync with the actual game (streaming or live tv). Usually about 30 seconds to a minute delay.
The best part is when I forget that they are playing and the lights start flashing randomly. Always scares guests :)
