Really cool.

What are you doing for away games? Can it still detect Habs goals? You mentioned you had to train the algorithm not to detect the opponents' goal horn. Couldn't you just scrape the schedule to detect if you're playing at home or away and use a different model for each?

It's really about the comentator's yell, not the goal horn. So as far as he's excited for Habs goals and not too excited for the other team's goals, it works fine.

You watch the French commentary, I presume.

Yup, the current model is trained on the TVA sports broadcast

Yes, the English broadcasters at least pretend to be neutral.
