The Carolina Hurricanes can’t stop winning at home. Their reward is our reward – more creative postgame celebrations called Storm Surges that no one can get enough of except Don Cherry. (Quick aside, did you see Don’s leprechaun suit for St. Patrick’s Day? You can’t get more creative than that.)
Saturday, after the Canes’ 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres, the players went curling.

It’s been a week and a half since Don Cherry called the Carolina Hurricanes “a bunch of jerks” for celebrating their home wins with their creative and over-the-top Storm Surges.
The Canes doubled down in the face of the controversy, embracing Cherry’s insult as a badge of pride. The team released a “Bunch of Jerks” t-shirt which sold out within the first two days.
On Tuesday, the Canes defeated the Los Angeles Kings 6-1 on home ice and had another chance to embrace their degenerate title.

The Carolina Hurricanes’ postgame celebrations have captivated the NHL and galvanized a fanbase that has watched its favorite team struggle over the last few seasons.
Nicknamed “Storm Surges”, the Hurricanes have collected cool points like Mario collects coins by playing Duck Duck Goose, doing the limbo, going bowling, and turning into hockey-player dominoes.
But now those Storm Surges are being put to the test. Are these team cellys still cool if Dad does them?
The answer is: I’m not so sure.
This season, the Carolina Hurricanes are having loads of fun, including ludicrous celebrations like duck-duck-goose and doing the limbo.
That’s made Hockey Man™ Don Cherry furious, and on a recent broadcast of Coach’s Corner he called the team “a bunch of jerks.”
You better believe the Hurricanes ran with that insult and made it into a t-shirt.

The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 at home so you know what that means: another fun storm surge!
What’s this storm surge you ask? It’s where the Carolina Hurricane players ham it up with the crowd and do a special team celebration. “Hockey is our life and job, but it is still a game,” Hurricanes captain Justin Williams said earlier in the year. “Enjoy the good times and have fun with it. Let’s celebrate more this year.”
Friday night, Williams got out his figurative bowling ball — his helmet — and rolled a strike.
