Former NHL general manager and current Sportsnet analyst Brian Burke isn't a fan of the Carolina Hurricanes' post-win surge.

After every home victory this season, the Hurricanes have performed some variation of this celebration:

"I don't like it, I don't think it's professional, I don't think it belongs in our league," Burke said on "Prime Time Sports" on Thursday, adding that he likes the clap but not the surge.

"I'm not saying the league should abolish it, I'm not saying no one should enjoy it, I'm saying I don't like it, and I don't care if you agree or understand with that viewpoint," he added.

Burke said Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell told him the celebration is something the players want to do and the fans enjoy it, so he won't interfere.

"I turn the TV off when they win, I switch to another game," Burke continued. "I think it's absurdly amateur-ish, pewee garbage stuff."
