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 […]

The GeekJock will be MIA for a few days this weekend, but fret NOT! I shall be back next week. This week is our annual treck to Vegas for the Vegas Hockey Classic we play in each March. It’s a  great time of beer, gambling, food oh yeah and some ICE HOCKEY. I will hopefully […]

I am extremely thrilled to bring this interview with my […]

There isn’t as much to say about the game itself as there was about the other days and things going on, mainly because unless you were there the game is typically pretty boring. I love hockey more then many other people out there and I even don’t care much about these games most years. It’s b/c the […]

So we finally get to the end of the magical NHL All Star weekend. And this day would be a great end to a weekend of a lifetime for a hockey fan. I am going to break this up into two posts, since to me, there was two big things on Sunday. First was the […]

    The Fan Fair was great and a fun night with the kiddies for sure, but after dropping the kids off at the in-laws it was time for what generally is the best part of any NHL All Star weekend. The Super Skills competition. This is on top of the usual Canes fan tradition of […]
