’Canes to begin Eastern Conference finals in Pittsburgh Monday

Posted by David Fellerath on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 9:52 AM

That was a game, wasn't it? We'll await Kate Shefte's thoughts on last night's gripping 3-2 OT victory over the Boston Bruins—and, we hope, her first-hand account of the Hurricanes' arrival at Raleigh-Durham airport early this morning.

In the meantime, the playoff schedule has been announced. The ’Canes are again playing without the home advantage, of course, and the series begins Monday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m., in the Steel City. The ’Canes play Games 3 and 4 at the RBC Center Saturday, May 23, and Tuesday, May 26.

You know what I realized? if the Canes manage to win ANOTHER seven-game series and then ANOTHER seven-game series, they will have played 28 post-season games. The post-season would then be 34 percent as long as the regular season. Obviously, this goes for NBA basketball, too.

One thing I've noticed is that hockey -- like baseball -- is a sport a lot of people jump into around playoff time. Even Chapel Hill people are excited about what's going down in Raleigh.

Strikingly similar stories from Israel and Japan in Footnote and Jiro Dreams of Sushi

One is a fiction feature from Israel; the other is a documentary about a Tokyo sushi chef. The dissimilarities end there. Both films feature an aging father and a middle-aged son, and both depict the lifelong obsession of the older man and the pitfalls of passing the torch to his heir.
