Fear not friends with the middle of the month here now and the free agent signings slowing down quite a bit, coupled with the fact the Canes are likely to not do much of anything other then signing Brandon Sutter (RFA) to a long term deal, this is likely the last anti-Rutherford rant I will […]

Yes you read that right. As predicted the Canes sucked ass big time in the first two days of free agency. I will admit it wasn’t a very deep FA pool and I wasn’t expecting Brad Richards or anything but what I WAS expecting was for Jim Rutherford to take this time of year seriously. […]

So not two days ago I made a couple of predicitons for this week leading up to free agency. I then predict he’s going to throw 4 mil a piece at Pitkanen and Jokinen, and 2.5 at Cole and 1.0 at LaRose… then throwing no more then 750k at Joslin (RFA) So I knew POS […]

I know the season is over and I know the draft just ended but I am now going to finish up the review of the season for the Canes. This was an easy one to push off until now b/c I wanted to wait and see how the Canes did in the draft, if they […]

If this was to be foretold at the beginning of 2011, I am sure it would have been a surprise. But with Phoenix staying put, the owners for the Atlanta Thrashers being a bunch of pansies, oh not to mentions Man of many hats and one of the worst NHL team officials Don Waddell STILL […]

Today as the Stanley Cup playoffs start to get to the nitty gritty, being down to the final four, I will finish the end of season grading for the Carolina Hurricanes forwards. This includes the new stud on the block Jeff Skinner, and the captain himself Eric Staal. But why wait let’s hop right in! […]

In this installment of the end of season grading we will hit the forwards. It wasn’t a great year for the scoring but wasn’t terrible either. Only Staal managed to crack the top 15 in scoring with his 76 points. However, while the team wasn’t breaking any records scoring-wise, they did manage to have 5 […]

Well, for the 2nd time in the last 4 years the Hurricanes had a shot to make the playoffs with a win in their last game. As usual they crapped the bed and lost. Not only did they lose this year they got embarrassed on home ice by the TB Lightning. With the Bolts already […]

So as I get another year older (only a few more to 40!), and yet none too wiser, I sit here and think of the many things  I am wishing for this year as I blow out my proverbial candles on a great day in GeekJock life. From pop culture , gaming, sports, work, family, […]

Happy Monday GeekJock readers, today we focus not on just one topic but a smattering of potporri to get us going… From NCAA to 38 studios to the Hurricanes I will give you a few things to think about this fine damn pollen filled monday! When I last covered them, the Canes were sitting in […]
