The annual NHL Awards show has always been a struggle to watch. Some years, there’s literally no question about who will come away as the winner, and the ‘entertainment’ lined up by the league’s braintrust is embarrassingly bad. This year we had some legit intrigue as to who would walk away with trophies, and some really special (and heart-wrenching) moments. The entertainment was utter shite, though. Some things never change.
Here’s how it all went down.
Ted Lindsay Award: Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers. Hardly a shock here, as McDavid was going to walk away with the players’ vote no matter what.
