http://trevorpresiloski.com Mon, 26 Jul 2010 08:54:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Hey! Long time no see. Sorry about the general lack of blog updates as of late...summer can be weird about taking oneself away from the computer. But I found myself with some downtime and thought I'd give my thoughts on what looks to be a fairly important day for the ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/07/mayrays-day/ Despite Canada Day being a national holiday, Mike Gillis was hard at work for the Canucks, with 4 players getting signed to deals. Interestingly enough, this wasn't a disappointing July 1st in terms of fan expectations: Mike Gillis said he was going to go out and find another defenseman and ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/07/canucks-free-agent-frenzy-2010/ Wow. Huh. So Mike Gillis and the Vancouver Canucks opted to make a deal with the Florida Panthers. Unlike the Indiana Jones franchise, it seems that making yet another trip to the well has paid off for the Canucks, as they obtained defenseman Keith Ballard and forward prospect Victor Oreskovich in ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/06/2010-nhl-entry-draft-day-one-lets-make-a-deal/ Whao, hey! Yeah, I'm still here.  I recently found work in a rather stressful/time consuming job so there's been less time for Tweeting and blogging.  I've also been working on some creative fiction, which has also eaten into my blogging time. Apologies all three of you (Mom, Dad and my ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/06/by-your-powers-combined/ So the Canucks season ended last night. Honestly, I want to say that it took me by surprise and bowled me over, but it wasn't the case. Going into the series I was feeling strangely confident about the Canucks. Yes, they had been beaten by the Blackhawks last season, but ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/05/canucks-postscript-end-of-the-line/ Forewarning: Despite being a geek and a bit of a comic book nerd I've never really sunk myself into Iron Man all that much. I'm somewhat familiar with the character, most of it dealing with the 80s version of Tony Stark/Iron Man.  So if my understanding is fundamentally flawed, sorry. ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/05/iron-man-2-review/ Tonight was a very interesting game, if you're a fan or have been following the Canucks. The talk going into this series is that the Canucks 'wanted' the Blackhawks, who ousted them last year in the playoffs. There was talk from the Canucks that they weren't going to let Byfuglien bother ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/05/playoffs-postscript-blackhawkscanucks-you-aint-got-no-alibi-you/ Really? THAT was Game 1? Against the Blackhawks? The same Blackhawks that resulted in the Massacre at the Madhouse last playoffs, where Chelsea Dagger played the Canucks right out of the playoffs? Where Dustin Byfuglien was this out of control rampaging monster that the Canucks couldn't hope to contain him? And the Canucks won ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/05/playoff-postscript-canucksblackhawks-wait-what/ I know not everyone uses Twitter, but there might be a reason for you to do so. Beyond Twitter being where all the cool cats are these days, I mean. What do I mean? Well... During the Los Angeles Kings series, I suggested on Twitter that folks wanting to talk about ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/04/of-hashtags-and-sticks/ Sorry for no post after Friday's game. There wasn't really a whole lot to hash over on that game: everyone was brilliant and the Kings played like hot garbage. I hate blatant cheerleading (just subtle, restrained cheerleading, durrr) so no point in doing a wrap-up. I gotta write about tonight's game, ... http://trevorpresiloski.com/2010/04/playoff-postscript-games-5-6-canuckskings-regicide/
