Reposted by An Nguyenzoy against genocide @zoydraft.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I wrote about how @thepwhl.com should allow the newly expanded teams to draft their road games instead of messing with divisions, because it has a bunch of potential benefits (and I think it would be cool) #pwhl zoydraft.tumblr.com/post/8180612...zoydraft.tumblr.comThe PWHL Road DraftGiving PWHL teams power over their road schedule could reduce travel, control costs, build rivalries, and add another spike of off-season excitement.

An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 05/06/2026you are correct i Am the target audience and i am fascinated by this idea 010
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 19/05/2026that is Already my brand so this seems like a natural continuation of it 010
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 19/05/2026i thought a local whky team might be the thing that gets me back into hockey at least somewhat, but frankly i didn't expect it to happen for a long while and am now pleasantly surprised the colors also seem particularly auspicious 190

An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 30/03/2026late to this, but oneshorteye does speedrun histories and game breakdowns for old point-and-click adventure games. i never played those games but i still love it, esp w/ the intercut interviews w/ speedrunners. plus the vids have led to new speedtech discoveries in comments! youtu.be/6CNJ7CxwaZU?...youtu.beKing's Quest VI Speedrun HistoryYouTube video by OneShortEye 010
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 10/03/2026ty for this; i was trying to figure out how to set this up for my friend group at the start of the year but couldn't figure out a good framework and got intimidated 010
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 22/02/2026no more than this and maybe the goalie fan viz unless someone gets me a really good PDF parser; the iihf changed their website layout and got actual internet security so i would need to pull info from the lineup and game summaries PDF instead, which didn't work well before 000
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 22/02/2026thankfully then this blame comes from a place of deep thought and consideration 2140
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 21/02/2026viz? no. the tools for parsing iihf shot and pbp data into a sane format (ty @thebucketless.bsky.social from years ago), code for various viz styles for that data, heat maps via shot-plotter, and my shitty xg model i did once that uses only distance and angle? yeah that's all in a dusty folder why 110
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 19/02/2026shoutout to nicole for carrying my knowledge of this olympics specifically and of so many aspects of whky for long before that. she is so so good at making different aspects the game understandable, coherent, and Meaningful 030
Reposted by An NguyenCat Manning @catacalypto.bsky.social · 19/02/2026the thing I ultimately really like about sports is the feeling of watching something electric happen and know that a bunch of other people are watching it too. 61179
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 19/02/2026only got to watch the last half of this game and its prob the longest stretch of hockey in real-time i've watched ever and i'm more stressed than i thought i would be. y'all live like this?? on a consistent basis??? 490
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 16/12/2025meaningless thought: if u measure performance using three stats (for hockey: offense, defense, special teams ig???). you could encode that as an rgb value. oh yeah that player's going through a huge offensivenslump from #a0376f to #843c75 1130
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 15/10/2025omg i didn't even know they did a remake i'm so excited!! the play was So much fun in the og; truly a game highlight for me 100
Reposted by An Nguyenhockeyskytte.bsky.social @hockeyskytte.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Thread🧵: I've built a tool for shot tagging in hockey. It is very much inspired by @nguyenank.bsky.social's shot-plotter. I built a floorball version mostly for personal use, but figured a hockey version would be interesting to other people as well. sports-tagging.netlify.app/hockey/sports-tagging.netlify.appHockey Shot Plotter 163
Reposted by An NguyenMagic Data Science @mtgds.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Here's a cool write-up that uses a slightly different method to fit a model I experimented with back in 2022, but goes into much more detail. 181
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Thanks! Yeah someone mentioned this, and it definitely was not something I picked up but it is super cool and makes So much sense to find out. i had put together the typeline connection with Kaheera the Orphanguard, but not that they were color-pie related (and that Kaheera follows the same pattern) 000
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 03/07/2025joke unassembled, free to a good home: hockey, mtg cube, ice cube but also hell yeah, i remember y'all posting what must be years ago now that y'all had assembled all the og dual lands for something but forgot y'all played cube until getting into cube myself recently 010

An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 28/04/2025i just realized the Go-Shintai creatures in #magicthegathering don't have creature types? They all have subtype Shrine, but that's an enchantment type, not a creature type. (Also, I'm working on writing something (very unusual) Very silly (very on par for me), can you tell.) 030

An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025and that wraps #ASIS2025 ! i had an absolute blast; i hope y'all got some measure of enjoyment from my random musings throughout 020
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025hearing jen cooper talk about archival and her work is a) incredibly incredibly cool and (b) just makes me think of the iihf flood story, which has haunted me forever since @quarkyhockey.bsky.social and @alyssalongmuir.bsky.social told me about it #ASIS2025 120
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025and the close of the conference on a more fun lighthearted note: a live podcast ft. the unparalleled @arielledror.bsky.social and the incredibly cool jen cooper! #ASIS2025 110
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025this seems to be a partial call to action for nwsl league translation factors, but with a more personal edge too (players who have already moved to an international league before making a similar significant move to the nwsl, players who speak english) #ASIS2025 100
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025both the opening and closing industry keynote very focused on recruitment and roster building, with an emphasis on the money/salary cap side of things for the nwsl+mls #ASIS2025 100
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025maybe the sports analytics conference tracking data bingo should include convex hulls #ASIS2025 110
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025the final skillcorner presentation! again a defensive bent, focusing specifically on transition #ASIS2025 100
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025another v important and not v talked about thing (normconf-esque): logging #ASIS2025 110
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025nevermind we've Now checked the strained backronym box on the sports analytics conference bingo (ty @tanho.ca ) #ASIS2025 120
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025the data ingestion monitoring dashboard and slack integration is super smart and extremely useful and v reminsicent to monitoring stuff at my work, but is not necessarily the kind of dashboard someone starting would think about making #ASIS2025 210
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025hell yeah the least talked about part of dashboards/any sort of web app in these sports analytics contexts: deployment (esp production deployment) #ASIS2025 120
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025give a person a report, you can answer their question. give a person a dashboard, you can make them answer their questions (until things change with the data or the question) #ASIS2025 111
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025last block of presentations! intro of the wonderful Lydia starts with a pun, to applause (its me, i applauded) #ASIS2025 100
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025ah the classic: distance to goal in some form is always Far and Away the most important contributor to an xG model #ASIS2025 130
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025wrapping up before the next break with a general summary of various trends in women's soccer. very simple, but well-explained and useful for me in particular. transitioning to the applicability of men's soccer models to women's soccer #ASIS2025 140
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025also i don't think i've emphasized it enough how good i think the scheduling of this conference is. frequent breaks, more practical fun presentations to start then more stats-dense presentations concentrated later in the conference, a light closer, forced collaboration, the list goes on #ASIS2025 140
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025spicy: opting for expected in "expected possession value prevented" abbreviated as EPVp rather than something like xPVp (though, typing it out, I can see why) #ASIS2025 110
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025another skillcorner one. this one's on 1v1 defending. defending in general seems to be a hot topic for these. not sure if that's based on the data provided (they mention two ways to think about defense as winning the ball (event) or positioning (tracking)) or if that was a comp theme #ASIS2025 210
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025there's an LLM talk where one of the AI use suggestions is supplementing referees, and i was simply haunted by the echoes of all the Real Bad rulebooks i have read in the name of shot-plotter. and i only read maybe ~5 pages of each of them. #ASIS2025 100
An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 01/02/2025i'm glad you are finding valued and also impressed, bc i feel like often my comments have Very little to do of the actual content of the presentations i'm seeing. would highly recommend reaching out to The presenters too/instead for actual information 010
