The “Storm Surge” is coming to an end in Carolina. 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. “Regardless of the outcome tonight, this will be our last ‘Storm Surge’ of the season,” Williams said. Along with the Hurricanes’ playoff possibilities, the “Storm Surge” created buzz in a hockey market that desperately needed a jolt. “That is absolutely ridiculous, they’re jerks doing it … You never do anything like that, they’re still not drawing (fans) and they’re a bunch of jerks as far as I’m concerned.”The Hurricanes responded by designing “Bunch of Jerks” T-shirts with the team logo.
