This 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 :)

I've been using MLB.com's api and Windows' text-to-speech to build a robo-announcer for baseball games. It builds a little narrative from the ridiculous amount of data they share. Sure, I could just listen to the streaming audio, but it's been an excuse to learn some Racket.

I kid about building a robo-color-commentator that tells old stories and bad jokes.

That sounds neat! Do you have a link to a demo of it?

I'd love to get your code for that if you're willing to share. I have my hue lights set up and synced with the ESPN app in IFTTT but that triggers for every game event not just goals. Would love to get it set up with something that will work a bit better.

The model is really specific to the station and commentator. I've trained it on games from a local Montreal station. I tried the other local station with the same model and the it detected no goals at all. So to make it work on any other station, we'd need to rebuild a dataset from scratch.
