“Right now we are sold out essentially for this year,” Brokaw said. “And we’re mostly sold out for 2026.”

He has just said repeatedly throughout this postseason that he thinks the coaches shouldn’t be part of it — reiterating that after the Panthers eliminated the Hurricanes on Wednesday night, even going as far as convincing Brind’Amour to sit it out himself. In that moment, Maurice said, nothing should take the attention off the players on the two teams that just played a series.“I don’t believe that the coaches should shake players’ hands at the end,” Maurice said. “There’s this long list of people in suits and track suits. We had like 400 people on the ice. They’re all really important to our group. But not one of them was in the game.”

So, just as he did after the Round 2 win over Toronto, Maurice and his staff shook hands with Brind’Amour and other members of the Carolina staff. That happened near the benches, while the players partook in the traditional handshake line down the center of the ice.Maurice said several weeks ago that he isn’t sure when the post-round handshake expanded to include coaches, and figures someone years ago did it just to either be seen or grab some television time. He said when he started coaching, people in the suits weren’t in those handshake moments.This season, he’s been trying to amend the tradition. And he thanked Brind’Amour for taking a risk, as Maurice said, in agreeing with him.

“There’s something for me visually, with the camera on just the men who played, blocked shots, fought for each other, it’s end of one’s season, it’s excitement for the other,” Maurice said. “The last thing that a player on the Carolina Hurricanes deserves is 50 more guys in suits, they have no idea who they are and that’s not a negative. There’s something really kind of beautiful about just the camera on those men who played shaking hands. And we should respect that.”OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Before Baltimore

Some patients “cry because they’ve never had that kind of care or respect.”

All of this, Joseph said, contributes to better outcomes. With thousands of patients over about 26 years, she and her colleagues have never had a maternal death.— which refers to the death of a woman from pregnancy or childbirth complications during or within 42 days of a pregnancy — generally has been rising in the U.S. About 700 women die each year, with another 60,000 suffering related injuries or severe complications.
