Even though I had to stay up until 11 just to watch the Sid er the NHL Awards show. I kind of enjoyed it. I mean sure, the host was…interesting. It was kind of funny when the interviewer guy forgot Paul Stastny’s name. And, when Sidney Crosby said congrats to Marty and Vinny even though it was Luongo that got nominated. Dumby. Alright, I will run through the winners and who was nominated and what I thought now.

Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP)
*Winner~Sidney Crosby
*Nominated~Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur
*Who should have won? Luongo, no guy took his team that far. Luongo didn’t really have the team to work with.

Vezina Trophy (Goalie)
*Winner~Martin Brodeur
*Nominated~Roberto Luongo, Miikka Kiprusoff, and Henrik Lundqvist
*Who should have won? I personally think the right guy won. He broke records this year…you can’t dispute that.

Norris Memorial Trophy (defenseman)
*Winner~Nicklas Lidstrom
*Nominated~Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger
*Who should have won? Right guy won…you can’t deny a +40.

*Nominated~Jordan Staal and Paul Stastny
*Who should have won? Anze Kopitar

Selke Trophy (defensive forward)
*Winner~Rod Brind’Amour
*Nominated~Samuel Pahlsson and Jay Pandolfo
*Who should have won? Pahlsson or Pandolfo…although Brind’Amour’s speech made me laugh.

Lady Byng (gentleman)
*Winner~Pavel Datsyuk *A No Show
*Nominated~Martin St. Louis and Joe Sakic
*Who should have won? Joe Sakic…no doubt…at least he showed up

Jack Adams (coach)
*Winner~Alain Vigneault
*Nominated~Lindy Ruff and Michel Therrien

This was for hlog but I decided to put it up here also…
I have a ton of players that I like and would cheer for them even when they are playing against my Jackets.

1. Martin Brodeur…I just love him. He is so impressive to me not only the way he plays but also he is such a leader on that team. He just amazes me everytime I watch him play.

2. My Cincinnati Ducks boys…Joffrey Lupul, Dustin Penner, Kurtis Foster, Shane O’Brien, Stanislav Chistov, and Ilya Bryzgalov…these guys in the 04-05 season were unbelievable…and a lot of people in CIncinnati had their hearts broken when they left to Portland…we found out during the playoffs and it was so sad. But, I still love these guys…and probably always will.

3. Phil Kessel…wow. How can you not like him? He has gone through so much his first year playing in the NHL. And, he is still going strong. It makes me feel good everytime he is out on the ice.

4. Dion Phaneuf…I’m a huge fan of his. I love watching him…he is everything you could ever want in a dman.

5. Chris Chelios…the oldest man in the NHL…and he is still going strong. He just continues to impress me…and he is pretty darn good at what he does.

6. Roberto Luongo continues to impress me. He is such an amazing goalie and so determined and I am so happy that he is going to make the playoffs this year so we can see what he is capable of there.

7. Dany Heatley oh my gosh his play this year is just amazing. When Spezza was out he continued doing well and proved he can play with anyone.

8. Alexander Ovechkin…I can’t say enough about him. He impresses me on and off the ice. He has been so wonderful with the Caps. I mean at the draft announcing their pick? Come on…that’s adorable. He is also doing a lot for the community there and seems like a genuinely great guy.

9. Ryan Suter this one is for sure a secret, because, I hate the Preds but he comes from one of those hockey elite families. I can’t help but not cheer for him when he does well.

10. Ty Conklin yeah Edmonton disowned him last year for one bad play. BUT, he is a good goalie. I don’t know why I like him so much but I found myself so excited everytime he was in the net for Columbus…and I liked him better than Leclaire.
