Winter, who took issue with the theory being floated that he was the unnamed person in a Tony Gallagher column talking about Cody Hodgson's icetime, went on at great ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2012/01/winter-is-coming/ Earlier today, Chicago Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland talked some trash on Chicago radio, making fun of the Sedins by calling them sisters. Vancouver Canucks fans were, predictably, outraged at yet another public figure making fun of the Sedins. Honestly, it's nothing particularly new. Hilariously enough, the 'Sedin Sisters' name has a ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/12/sister-sister/ So apparently the Kurtenblog folks have moved on and there is a void on the Vancouver Province's website! Perfect, sez I, a journalism student who is looking for any sort of opportunity to showcase myself. And what better way than to dash my hopes and dreams as a journalist than ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/10/the-canucks-enforcer/ There's not a whole lot that can be said about the death of Wade Belak right now. It is known that he was found dead, early Wednesday afternoon. Beyond that, things are unclear. Speculation has abounded regarding Belak's cause of death, misinformation that unfortunately found the ears of his family before ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/09/wade-belak/ So, there's been a bit of a furor on Twitter regarding a recent retraction from the Toronto Star.

A rather ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/08/the-dangers-of-wikipedia/ Tonight's game actually motivated me to write a blogpost, as I wanted to go over something that has been infuriating me for a while now. Specifically, Alain Vigneault's treatment of Keith Ballard. I could go back even further and trace this into his attitudes about Brendan Morrison, but that ship has ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/06/a-rare-postscript-is-it-over/ The Stanley Cup FINALS? The Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Finals?! Yes, we're all perched on the precipice of what could be Vancouver's Greatest Hockey Moment. Less than 24 hours from puck drop and I'm still having problems processing it. This entire season that I've watched, sometimes in pubs and bars ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/06/wait-what/ So the official word today is that Manny Malhotra is going to miss the remainder of the NHL regular season and playoffs, due to the horrific injury he sustained March 16 against the Avalanche, when a puck flew up the length of his stick and struck him in the eye. The ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/03/manny/ Okay, so last night's Canucks game had some rather interesting visual stuff going on. No, the game wasn't in 3D or anything fancy like that. What was going on, though, was the implementation of advertising overlays on the glass behind both goalies nets, something which only TV viewers at home could ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2011/03/sell-out/ One of the more popular pieces I had last season was during the playoffs, when I did a 'Meet the Kings' bit. It was a comedic bit that talked a bit about the players on the roster. Since the regular NHL season is pretty darn close and there's a lot of ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/10/meet-the-oilers-201011-edition/
