VAR Has One Job, And It's Failing Miserably At It: The most common complaint against VAR—or any form of video review in sports—in one of aesthetics. If referees insist on stopping the game for several minutes to double check every key play, the thinking goes, all the drama and intensity and emotion of the biggest moments will be lost, and the celebrations of fans will be replaced by hesitance and trepidation while they wait to confirm that what they just saw with their own eyes actually happened. It’s a fine argument, one that at least a strong minority of sports fans would agree with. But most leagues around the world have chosen to ignore it. If the game gets delayed for a bit, they’ve decided, that’s okay, because it’s a small price to pay to avoid controversy and make sure officials are making an objectively correct call.

Me neither, jags, but that hasn't stopped me from having a team for several seasons, and last season was also a banner year for my squad.

It was a very entertaining and worthy game 7, though the last minute fell a bit flat from what could have been. (and what had been for the several minutes prior) As Skinner skated off the ice for the man advantage, the rest of the skaters looked on wondering if they could be subbed off, too.

I'll admit that I am not well-enough versed in Negro Leagues history, but this sounds like a fine move to me.

I don't think I've ever seen a hockey game where a team scores a goal with their own goalie pulled, then score another goal with both goalies on the ice, then score another goal when the other team's goalie was pulled. All within 90 seconds.
Neat!

That was a really entertaining game, and there were so many talented players on the floor. And there's still the entire Final Four to go!
