Stuck at hockey net with "LOADING" about nhl-led-scoreboard

[nick-danger]

It has to do with the API call to find the previous and next games. nhl_api/info.py at/about line 137 in team_previous_game(), there's a check for the truthiness of the results of fetching the team's schedule. It seems that if the team is done for the season, the API is returning an empty list. Two lines later, if the result was not truthy, the code nonetheless attempts to pull element 0 from the empty list and use it in an expression. I'm not certain what the original intent of that lump of code was, I've got a work-around that forces the previous game and next game data points to null when there's no data from the API call.

So if you're following a team that's out of the running, the team summary shows '--------' for the previous and next game data, but teams that still have upcoming games will show their next/previous games in the team summary.

But the above change caused another issue. At/about line 152 of data/scoreboard.py in Scoreboard.__init__(), the code presumes that overview["homeTeam"] and overview["awayTeam"]contain "onIce" elements. I haven't figured out why they don't, but it's probably a side effect of returning null for previous and next games from above. I've got a quick work around for this, but it feels like a hack. I need to trace what happens to the results from team_previous_game() to see if I can deduce what a useful non-answer would look like.
