2010 NHL Award Results/Pre-Draft Thoughts

Awards

I wasn't able to catch the awards Wednesday night (I did try to catch the first bit on CBC Ottawa since it showed it earlier but it's reception was as bad as Jay Mohr's act.* HEYO!). So here are the results:

Hart - Henrik Sedin
Vezina - Ryan Miller
Norris - Duncan Keith
Calder - Tyler Myers
Lady Byng - Martin St. Louis
Selke - Pavel Datsyuk
Jack Adams - Dave Tippett
Bill Masterton - Jose Theodore
Ted Lindsay - Alex Ovechkin
Messier Leadership - Sidney Crosby
King Clancy - Shane Doan (we omitted this one during the predictions by accident...and we regret it)

BEK: 2/10
MDK: 4/10

*I don't know if they still have the same agent, but the NHL should have requested Frank Caliendo. How awesome would it be to see him try to impersonate Don Cherry.


Draft

Since the draft starts soon, here are a couple quick thoughts:
  • Taylor Hall is going first, no questions.
  • It has been mentioned that the L.A. Kings might pick a player that is Californian. This would be good publicity for the team but it's probably not the best choice (right Montreal? remember last year?)
  • Speaking of Montreal, I know that they pick near the bottom of the first round, but please, please DON'T pick another damn American defenseman! Size up front is more important.
  • Will Toronto move into the first round? Unlikely
