I’ve been a fan of Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Morgan Geekie since the moment he was drafted. I declared myself the unofficial conductor of the Geekie hype train during preseason. I pinned him as a Charlotte Checker to watch months ago, and I wrote about his steady development.
My point is that I’m both proud of what he accomplished in his NHL debut yesterday and completely unsurprised. The kid can play. I think he’s got that ‘it’ factor needed for the NHL.
Whatever he may lack in top end speed, he makes up for with phenomenal hockey sense and always being a step ahead.
