Holy crap GeekJock is back! Yep and I hope to be back more if I ever get time. Well that, or if I ever figure out how to install the program to be able to voice to write. I am much better at talking and doing posts then actually typing (that’s why I have been […]

Every time I get to where I have completely given up faith in Jim Rutherford (Canes GM), he does something akin to walking on water and he brings me right back to his corner. Friday night was no different. I was sitting at a local bar with some friends Friday night, celebrating getting a new […]

Ahh, draft day is here. It’s always among my favorite days in the NHL calendar. You never ever know if your team will go trade crazy to move the pick or move up, or if they will just sit tight and keep all their picks and go about their normal business. Traditionally there are a […]

Ahh one of the most wonderful times of the year… The weather is starting to get colder, the leaves are falling, Football has started, the MLB playoffs are about to begin, and most important of all the NHL season is about to get underway. It’s been 3+ excruciating months with no hockey to watch and […]

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, […]

    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 […]

First let me get the record straight on the following. A) I am a Canes season ticket holder and lost my voice after the loss to Pitt the other night b/c of how bad the officiating was in the 3rd period and B) I wore my Islander jersey to the game tonight. I guess the […]

The Isles have played their first five games and each game has been exciting. Gordon’s aggressive forechecking style has opponents scrambling. Opening night started off with another appearance by the injury bug as John Tavares went off with a head injury in the 1st period. He ended up missing essentially the first four games. The […]

Hello, my name is Kevroc and I am covering the Isles for GeekJock this season. I was excited to get busy and write a blog entry full of hope and promise but, then came the preseason scrimmages…. Boom, Mark Streit (shoulder) out six months. Bang, Kyle Okposo (shoulder) out two months. There goes arguably the […]
