I thought the NHL Awards show last night, being in Vegas and all, was pretty tame. The most interesting part was seeing James Holzhauer of Jeopardy fame giving out an award. I thought since the Lightning was swept in the playoffs that it hurt Kucherov's chances of winning MVP, Hart Throphy but he won.

A) Voting is done before the playoffs
B) He was so clearly the MVP this season that absent murdering a nun on live television right before the final votes were due, he'd have still won it.
Kucherov was pretty clearly the best player in the league this season. Though I was frustrated that RoR didn't sneak into the top 10 (though Binnington did).
Even before the Blues went on their tear I was suggestion that RoR should've gotten some down-ballot consideration for how well he was playing even when the Blues weren't. When they caught fire I thought he might even end up a dark horse for top 5 consideration.
When I watched them present that award (Selke, I believe), I turned to my wife and said that guy (the c-list actor) is on about 3 different combos of drugs/alcohol right. Good lord he looked like he was on hour 72 of not sleeping. [Reply]
