Add current datetime to game events

[tyler-roper]

(We spoke on Reddit about this and you requested I open an issue)

The previous API endpoints for retrieving live game data included a datetime field for each event. The newest endpoints don't seem to provide this information anymore. Examples below.

This makes it impossible to chronologically sort events across several games, for example.

Thank you!

Example of old event shape:

{
  "result": {
    "eventCode": "ANA89",
    "eventTypeId": "HIT",
    "description": "Tomas Nosek hit Adam Henrique",
    "event": "Hit"
  },
  "players": [
    {
      "playerType": "Hitter",
      "player": {
        "link": "/api/v1/people/8477931",
        "fullName": "Tomas Nosek",
        "id": 8477931
      }
    },
    {
      "playerType": "Hittee",
      "player": {
        "link": "/api/v1/people/8474641",
        "fullName": "Adam Henrique",
        "id": 8474641
      }
    }
  ],
  "about": {
    "eventIdx": 123,
    "dateTime": "2023-01-09T02:42:01Z",   <------------------------------------------------
    "eventId": 89,
    "period": 2,
    "periodType": "REGULAR",
    "ordinalNum": "2nd",
    "periodTime": "04:13",
    "periodTimeRemaining": "15:47",
    "goals": {
      "away": 2,
      "home": 1
    }
  },
  "coordinates": {
    "x": 32,
    "y": -39
  },
  "team": {
    "name": "Boston Bruins",
    "link": "/api/v1/teams/6",
    "id": 6,
    "triCode": "BOS"
  }
}

Example of new event shape:

{
  "eventId": 57,
  "period": 1,
  "periodDescriptor": {
    "number": 1,
    "periodType": "REG"
  },
  "timeInPeriod": "00:25",
  "timeRemaining": "19:35",
  "situationCode": "1551",
  "homeTeamDefendingSide": "left",
  "typeCode": 509,
  "typeDescKey": "penalty",
  "sortOrder": 13,
  "details": {
    "xCoord": -94,
    "yCoord": 23,
    "zoneCode": "O",
    "typeCode": "MIN",
    "descKey": "tripping",
    "duration": 2,
    "committedByPlayerId": 8478493,
    "drawnByPlayerId": 8481564,
    "eventOwnerTeamId": 30
  }
}

Hi Tyler,

I have ideas on how I would like to execute this, but I will need time to work through this problem, I will provide you with an update when I have one.

Thanks!
