get_game_detail

Full game detail including odds snapshots and the goalies who started, with time on ice.

When to use it

You want everything about a single game in one call -- scores, odds from multiple bookmakers, and confirmed goalie starts. Saves you from making separate get_odds and search_players calls.

Parameters
