Don Cherry Calls Hurricanes "Jerks" For Post-Win Celebrations

Sportsnet host Don Cherry "went off" last night on the Hurricanes when asked about the team's post-win celebrations this year. The Hurricanes on Friday mimicked a walk-off home run in baseball and last night went through a limbo line after their win against the Stars moved them into playoff position. Cherry: "This is the National Hockey League. [Hurricanes coach Rod] Brind'Amour is a good coach. These guys, to me, are jerks. They're still not drawing (fans) ... They better not do this in the playoffs." Cherry added, "You don't do this thing in the (NHL). This is professional hockey. What are these guys, jerks or something?" After Cherry's comments, the Hurricanes changed their Twitter bio to read, "That bunch of jerks with the fun celebrations" (THESCORE.com, 2/16).
