The NHL All star weekend took forever to get here and, as expected, it went entirely too fast. It was a HUGE hit, not only for the city of Raleigh but for the NHL as a whole. Everyone around the league was a buzz and I have read nothing but praise for the host […]

The NHL All Star game will be in town here in Raleigh, this weekend and I am severely stoked. I will be at both events and likely lurking around the convention center on Friday and Saturday afternoon as well. The hope is to score a wristband to get in and watch the fantasy draft for […]

Friday night in a shootout in Edmonton, Oilers Rookie Linus Omark, playing in his 1st NHL game, got to do what 99% of us dream of, participate in the shootout. Whether it be adrenaline or creativity he did a spin-o-rama after getting the puck at center ice, came down faked a slap shot and put […]

I always get a kick out of the puckdaddy posts on yahoo sports when he does his Jersey Fouls posts. I don’t really care if a jersey is ugly or not, that’s not really a foul to me, but some of the ones they show with awful non-names and “creative” editing of jersey’s are just funny […]

Last night the Hurricanes announced shortly before the game vs the Senators (a 7-1 win WOW) that they had dealt hard shooting but useless defensively D-man Anton Babchuk and hard nosed F Tom Kostopoulos to the Calgary Flames for D Ian White and minor league F Brett Sutter. I like this trade for a few […]

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 […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yes the leaves are starting to change and that means one thing. HOCKEY SEASON! Last night I took my son (3 yo) to the opening night of the pre-season schedule for the Canes, and despite it being new season-same results it was still good to get back […]

Admittedly I am not a huge Crosby fan. I was hoping he would be real good when he came into the league and now while I still kinda admire his tallent, I think he’s a bit of a whiner. Although I will admit, he his a lot more likeable then Ovechkin (F u Ovie) so […]
