The Canes have taken Don Cherry's latest comments in stride.
“a bunch of jerks” for carrying out choreographed celebrations following wins on home ice, Don Cherry has taken his critique of the organization into the stands of PNC Arena.segment, Cherry touched on the Hurricanes’ home attendance numbers during the regular season, then took matters a step further by criticizing the fans themselves.
“These people that are there now, now that they’re winning, front-running fans as far as I’m concerned,” said Cherry, who then proceeded to back up his earlier stance on the team’s celebrations. Well, if the Hurricanes’ Twitter account serves as any indication, the organization has once again chosen to embrace Cherry’s comments by marketing them on T-shirts.
