While the material addressed was of the utmost gravity, these scenes were slow-paced and excruciatingly drawn-out. What should have been moving was soporific.

...example, docking the Bears’ Mike Stuart for roughing on a textbook clean hit against the boards) while missing several flagrant infractions (such as a blatant takedown by Brown’s Devin Timberlake). The officiating, however, may not have the strangest aspect of the game. That honor goes to an unusual coaching decision by Donato, who, with his team down 4-1 in the third period, called goaltender Kyle Richter to the bench in favor of an extra skater—with 12 minutes still left to play, and no delayed penalty in effect...
