Hi all,
Just wanted to inform my fellow JMS-ers about a project that I've been working on, ShiftChart.com.
It's an interactive data visualization of an NHL game, showing exactly which players are on the ice at any moment. It's intended to aid understanding of coaching strategies around line combos and match ups.
There's no fee or login (for now), just wanted to share it with you all as you follow the Cup finals. I hope you enjoy it. Unfortunately, only available for NHL games, but perhaps JMS games in the future........
See you on the ice,
Sai

This is really cool. As a web developer, I can definitely appreciate how nicely this was done. I love these data visualizations - it clearly communicates something immediately meaningful without being too flashy but still smooth and natural to navigate.
Not sure if you coded it but major props to your web developer, this was very nicely executed.

That's really cool Sai thanks. There's a lot of good advanced hockey stat sites out there but I haven't seen anything like this til now.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the encouragement. My first go at coding Javascript so it's been quite the adventure.
JMS-ers, note the shift lengths of the pros! Gotta keep it under 1 min if you want to make it the Show!
