That’s one way to deflate a community going into an exciting offseason adventure.
Last night, Las Vegas, Nevada hosted the annual NHL Awards show as they do every year. Just hours before, the NHL announced that Las Vegas would officially receive an NHL franchise and become the 31st team in the league.
As the awards show went on, Dallas Stars fans watched excitedly to see if members of the organization would walk away with any hardware. The Stars sent captain Jamie Benn as a finalist for both the Ted Lindsay Award and the Hart Trophy, head coach Lindy Ruff as a finalist for the Jack Adams Award, and general manager Jim Nill as a finalist for the GM of the Year Award.
