The NHL’s post season awards were handed out on Wednesday night in Vegas, and no, I didn’t win MVP.Here’s who did win and a few comments:
Hart Memorial Trophy, MVP: Henrik Sedin, Vancouver Canucks. This is being called a huge upset as he beat Ovechkin and Crosby. I think it’s good for the sport to have a different guy as MVP.He did lead the league in goal scoring which netted him the Art Ross Trophy as well.
Ted Lindsay Award: Alexander Ovechkin, Washington Capitals.This is the “players” MVP, as this award is voted on by the players.
Norris Trophy: Duncan Keith, Chicago Blackhawks.The Norris is awarded for the best defenseman.Keith’s win signals a “changing of the guard” from the veteran defensemen like Nicklas Lidstrom.
Calder Trophy, Rookie of the Year: Tyler Myers, Buffalo Sabres. This was a mild upset, considering he beat out Matt Duschene, but certainly not a surprise.
Vezna Trophy, Top Goalie: Ryan Miller, Buffalo Sabres.I think we all know why he won this.He’s awesome.
Jack Adams Award, Top Coach: Dave Tippett, Phoenix Coyotes.Phoenix came within one win of getting to round two of the playoffs. Considering where they came from.Enough said.
