Recap: Hurricanes hold off Panthers 4-3
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsSomewhat lost in the now-viral Don Cherry “bunch of jerks” comments from last Saturday was Cherry’s seeming ignorance of the role Justin Williams plays in organizing the Storm Surge which follows each Canes’ home win. “Imagine Justin Williams doing stuff like that,” Cherry grumbled. In the eyes of Cherry, the three-time Stanley Cup winner should be above such displays.
On Thursday night in South Florida, Williams made it clear that his post-game celebrations haven’t diminished his toughness one bit, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a comeback 4-3 in over the Florida Panthers that put the Canes back into a playoff position.
