Williams was the mind behind the idea earlier this season, opting for a more fun celebration than the normal stick salute to the crowd.
The Storm Surge begins with a Skol Viking clap before a pre-planned celebration, sometimes involving just the Hurricanes, other times including celebrities or props.
The first one occurred after their first home win of the season, an 8-5 victory against the New York Rangers on Oct. 7, when the Hurricanes all
jumped into the boards
.
Since then, the Hurricanes have
played "Duck Hunt
;
done the limbo
;
dunked on a basketball hoop
during March Madness;
been knocked out by Evander Holyfield
; played dominos; and duck-duck-goose; and
gone bowling
, among other celebrations.
Carolina did one for each of its 22 home wins this season. The Hurricanes have two more regular-season home games: Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers and April 4 against the New Jersey Devils.
Carolina even got their mentors into it on a road trip earlier this season, when following a 4-3 win at the Florida Panthers on Feb. 21, the mentors did the Skol clap
followed by "The Floss."
