Hurricanes to end post-game ‘Storm Surge’ as playoff push intensifies Globe_Sports
Carolina Hurricanes' Trevor van Riemsdyk dunks a basketball during a celebration after the team's win over the Minnesota Wild, in Raleigh, N.C., on March 23, 2019.Hurricanes forward Justin Williams posted on Twitter that the NHL club will be ending its elaborate post-game celebrations – which were popular with fans but spurred “Coach’s Corner” star Don Cherry to call the Hurricanes a “bunch of jerks” – as they prepare for their final playoff push.
“We’ve created a buzz again in Carolina but we know ultimately we’ve done that by winning games and playing for each other. Huge games are coming up for us.” Along with the Hurricanes’ playoff possibilities, the “Storm Surge” created buzz in a hockey market that desperately needed a jolt. The team plays in the North Carolina capital of Raleigh, which is not a traditional hockey market. And buzz around the team had dissipated since the Hurricanes followed their 2006 Stanley Cup with a series of mediocre results, including missing the playoffs for the past nine seasons.
