The NHL Awards
By Bethany | June 15, 2007
Even though I had to stay up until 11 just to watch the Sid er the NHL Awards show. I kind of enjoyed it. I mean sure, the host was…interesting. It was kind of funny when the interviewer guy forgot Paul Stastny’s name. And, when Sidney Crosby said congrats to Marty and Vinny even though it was Luongo that got nominated. Dumby. Alright, I will run through the winners and who was nominated and what I thought now.
*Winner~Sidney Crosby
*Nominated~Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur
*Who should have won? Luongo, no guy took his team that far. Luongo didn’t really have the team to work with.
Vezina Trophy (Goalie)
*Winner~Martin Brodeur
*Nominated~Roberto Luongo, Miikka Kiprusoff, and Henrik Lundqvist
*Who should have won? I personally think the right guy won. He broke records this year…you can’t dispute that.

That made me smile! I can’t believe he wasn’t even nominated. Absolute horseshit.
