Some thoughts on watching the NHL Awards for the first time last night.
Last night, I watched the NHL Awards. It's something I'd never done before. In general, I dislike awards shows. All the information you want could be covered in 48 seconds, but they somehow drag it into 2+ hours of television. The host is often tough to watch, presenters try to seem personable but come off as awkward, and the camera seems to focus a lot on people who just lost. But with three Senators nominated for awards (and being in charge of this site), I decided to sit down and watch the awards show.
