Henrik Sedin looking to score a hat-trick at NHL Awards Tonight

Dec 19 2017, 12:27 pm

The NHL Awards are handed out tonight and our boy Hank is up for 3 awards. He’s already won the first award, the Art Ross (most pts). He is also up for the Hart and Ted Lindsay trophies, for MVP voted on by the media and MVP voted by NHL players. Ryan Kesler is up for the Selke (the best defensive forward), and has a great chance of taking it this year. The show starts tonight at 8:30pm on CBC from Vegas.

My money’s on BC-boy Duncan Keith taking the Norris and American Miller the Vezina. And of course, Ryan Kesler for Selke and Henrik Sedin for MVP.
