Well folks, the NHL Awards Show itself was as boring as it usually is. Unfunny jokes not written in the style of the host, combined with a host that didn't think he belonged - it was pretty classic off-the-ice NHL stuff.
Oh, there was something else! That confounded expansion draft. That was a bit more entertaining. Among the notables selected by the Golden Knights: James Neal, Jonathan Marchessault (and Reilly Smith), Marc-Andre Fleury, J-F Berube... wait who?!
Not sure how Garth pulled that off, but expansion could have gone much worse for the Islanders.
