So Ovie’s keepin’ the Hart. Can’t say I’m surprised. I thought it was a great show. I thought it was hilarious how that big-time Mike Modano-wannabe, Patrick Kane struggled to open the envelope. Poor kid looked really flustered. I also thought it was funny when Tim Thomas asked Manny Fernandez if he should thank his wife for him. I loved when Ovechkin said that Malkin’s English is better than Pavel Datsyuk’s. Classic. Datsyuk was hilarious as usual. I know I should hate Datsyuk for being a Wing, but I love the guy; he’s a total stud. I think it’s because he’s Russian.
Anyway, here’s the list of winners:
Hart- Alex Ovechkin
Lester B. Pearson- Alex Ovechkin
Selke- Pavel Datsyuk
Lady Byng- Pavel Datsyuk
Norris- Zdeno Chara
Adams- Claude Julien
Calder- Steve Mason
Vezina- Tim Thomas
And I think that’s all the important ones.
I thought it was silly of Ovechkin to say that the Caps would win the Cup next year when the Stars are obviously going to be the 2010 champs. Wink, wink.
