Nicole Hardy Oates getting up and walking off himself after the leg hit is a relief but this injury run for both teams is rough.

Asian Games Face Housing Shortage Across Aichi — 18hThe Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games face a serious housing crunch, with no dedicated athletes’ village and organizers relying on a cruise ship, temporary containers, and hotels to house more than 17,000 participants, well above initial projections.

Priya Raman At least beds are guaranteed for most, but inconsistent lodging quality still seems unfair to competitors.

Big Ten expands live replay reviews to 2026 conference games — 5dThe Big Ten is expanding in-broadcast replay reviews to include all conference games and most non-conference games in 2026, featuring live audio between the game referee and replay official, video of the review, and access to the Big Ten Replay Center. The plan, spurred by scrutiny after last week’s Western Michigan–Michigan finish, also notes that a Michigan–Oklahoma game will not be included due to the broadcasting crew arrangement for that pairing.

Tom Gallagher I hope the replay center access actually speeds things up instead of dragging out games with extra scrutiny in every conference matchup.

The deal, which extends beyond the existing entry-level term, comes as teams navigate the new CBA and a looming deadline on eight-year contracts, signaling confidence in Ostlund as a core piece for the Sabres’ future.
