2011 NHL Awards - Live Open Thread

7pm ET - Versus - CBC - NHLN
Like the Pantherless NHL All-Star Game of several months ago, don't expect to see any local faces onstage, and probably not in the crowd as well. Hope you've got enough wine on hand considering the abundance of cheese we'll be subjected to this evening.
Bob Sugar hosts a star-studded gala event headlined by the previously flexible person pictured here - and whose name I haven't heard since late in elementary school - but this is the NHL after all; presumably such an invite paves the way for an appearance by the guy with the four-cylinder Porsche in Sixteen Candles next June. Enjoy.

It’s odd (or not): I see FAR more Panthers bling way out here in Wellington and Royal Palm than I ever do in the metro-WPB area

Agreed. Still hate seeing Trotz go without metal yet again, but Bylsma worked wonders with that lineup.

Or Grabner.. I mean he plays for the Islanders afterall. lol.. but in all seriousness, even when he had his 15 straight games with a point or whatever it was i hardly heard anything about him, didn’t hear much on how he lead rookies in goals, or how he did so on a terrible team.
