NEW YORK (AP) — What does “home” mean? Different things to all of us, of course.

The Panthers touched the Prince of Wales Trophy after winning the East in 2023, and lost the final. They didn’t last year and then won the Stanley Cup in a seven-game series over McDavid and the Oilers.Edmonton hasn’t won a Stanley Cup since all five of the Oilers’ titles came during a seven-season span from 1984-90. They also made it back to the Cup Final in 2006.

Florida coach Paul Maurice did not shake hands with the Carolina Hurricanes when the Eastern Conference final ended. And he asked Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour not to shake hands with the Panthers, either.It wasn’t out of disrespect.Quite the contrary, really.

The handshake line at the end of a playoff series is one of hockey’s sacred traditions, no matter how physical the series was before one team eventually prevailed. And Maurice thinks the handshakes are part of what makes the game great to hockey fans, and he’s all for it happening.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.Marine Corps combat veteran Matt Metzger poses for a portrait with a plate of mushrooms that he grows himself for microdosing psilocybin, Wednesday, March 26, 2025, in Olympia, Wash.

These kinds of claims are hard to measure in the lab, say scientists studying microdosing.For starters, belief is so important to the experience that empty capsules can produce the same effects.

involving people who microdose, participants didn’t know until afterward whether they had spent four weeks taking their usual microdose or placebos. Psychological measures improved after four weeks for everyone in the study, regardless of whether they were taking microdoses or empty capsules.“It appears that I was indeed taking placebos throughout the trial. I’m quite astonished,” wrote one of the study participants. “It seems I was able to generate a powerful ‘altered consciousness’ experience based only (on) the expectation around the possibility of a microdose.”
