Fans began to question whether Cherry was fired after his comments about the Carolina Hurricanes. He called the team “a bunch of jerks” in response to the players doing their “Storm Surge” celebrations on the ice. The Hurricanes later embraced Cherry’s comments by selling “Bunch of Jerks” T-shirts.
Cherry, 85, joined “Hockey Night In Canada” in 1980. He has been paired with sidekick Ron MacLean since 1987.
