The Storm Surge. It has caused a lot of fun for the Carolina Hurricanes fanbase. So Far there have been 21 of them. With the most recent one coming against the Canadiens in a thrilling overtime win which had the team fishing in the dark.
But it also had detractors. Brian Burke called it “pee wee garbage stuff”. Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms filled with people who have decided that they needed to leave a hateful comment about another team having fun with their audience after a game. The words “cringy”, “silly”, and “childlike” were tossed around to describe the surge.
