HockeyAllsvenskan Games of a season

Every game of a season, played or scheduled (is_played): date, display team codes, score, periods, arena, attendance, shots and power play. No game id.

The season in progress lists every scheduled game. An unplayed one has decided_in == "", a 0-0 score and a null attendance, so is_played is decided_in != "": filter on it rather than on the score. home_team_code / away_team_code are display codes, while the most_points JSON names StatNet team ids. The table carries no game id: join CMS games (ha_schedule()) on date + team codes. *_efficiency is a percentage. The call is refused as truncated unless the site answers one complete page.
