• [x] Acquire all of the raw play-by-play data for the 2015/16 season all the way to the 2019/20 season (inclusive).
• [x] Set aside all of the 2019/20 data as your final test set.
• [x] Use the 2015/16 - 2018/19 regular season data to create the training and validation sets.
• [x] Create a tidied dataset for each SHOT event
• [x] Create figures (Shot counts histogram binned by distance, shot counts histogram binned by angle, 2D historgram distance vs angle)
• [x] More figures (Goal rate vs distance, goal rate vs angle)
• [x] Another histogram (goals only binned by distance, separate empty new and non-empty net events)

Notes:

• Until Part 7, any reference to the “dataset” will exclusively refer to the 2015/16 - 2018/19 data.
• Can approximate the net as a single point
• Goal rate, i.e. #goals / (#no_goals + #goals)
• Rare event, higher possibility of incorrectly labelled.
