2009 NHL Awards Show Open Thread

PrintI figured that the NHL Awards Show might be a good event to have an open thread for. There will probably be more missing teeth and ill-fitting tuxedos than a high school prom in Appalachia. Plus, there is the possibility of hearing Alex Ovechkin give an acceptance speech, which is always fun. Maybe a few Bruins will even bring home some hardware. Join me for the awards show and add your comments. The show airs on Versus at 7:30 ET.

I hoping for 3 things out of the NHL Awards
1. Ovechkin acceptance speech
2. Manny Fernandez showing up drunk to accept Jennings
3. Lots of shots of hot wives

Joe Haggerty sent me a Twitter message (I feel weird using the word Tweet) that Manny is in Vegas tonight.

Really? Chakakahn (spelling?) and Dr. Seaver’s kid? That’s the best you could do NHL?

Reggie Lemelin and Andy Moog sighting

Hopefully Timmy and Manny don’t break the trophy like Reggie did.

I’m not making accusations there. I will leave that one alone.

Classy move by Manny to show up after the initial report that he wasn’t going.
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:03 PM EDT reply actions
WOW, look at the suit on this guy!

Leisure Suit Larry and bumbling JR
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions
I thought he was getting booed for a second until I realized it was “LOOOOOUUUU”
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:15 PM EDT reply actions
There is NO way that Chaka Khan is one of JR’s favorites
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:17 PM EDT reply actions
Not sure what demo the NHL is trying to reach with that decision

Which player do you think is most likely to be hitting on cocktail waitresses during “the stank shift”?
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:21 PM EDT reply actions
mean skank but I guess stank works there too
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:21 PM EDT up reply actions
So far I have been forced to listen to Chaka Khan, the Thicke kid, JR, AND Jack Edwards

I never realized how tiny the Vezina is.

He can’t afford a babysitter with that fat new contract?
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:29 PM EDT reply actions
Hasn’t made that money just yet.

Kevin Smith, Wow, I thought the NHL cut its ties with him after the blog thing.
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:29 PM EDT reply actions
They had video of him at a devils game after that.

I want to see Chara stand next to the little dude from Entourage

Z
I’m kind of surprised that Mike Green didn’t win, but Z is definitely deserving
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:44 PM EDT reply actions
I’m so happy Mike Green didn’t win. SO HAPPY

Ovechkin might be the coolest guy on the planet

Pretty much just made fun of Datsyuk’s English and then thanked “the regular guys” like his stick guys

“Geno, your English is better than Pavel Datsyuk English.

I disagree completely. Fire Gretzky, they can make it work when Moyes isn’t cooking the books of his other assets.

That market is setup to fail. They thought that the could draw fans by sticking The Great One behind the bench, but people don’t play to see guys in pennyloafers and a suit.
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly. Fire gretzky and you get back 6 million a year and get a good coach. Then get some talent in front of him.

A team bleeding millions that is controlled by the league is not good for the NHL as a whole.
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions
Why not? There are fans there that care deeply about the team, same as here or anywhere else.

Yeah, and the team probably shouldn’t have left, though Winnipeg is a lot smaller market than Phoenix.

Hmmm, still not as large, but you’d have no issue selling the place out I’d figure.
But Ontario just makes too much sense for another team.
Well, the jets played in a stadium of about that size too. They had trouble with corporate support and season tickets, which are the lifeblood of NHL teams.

but the arena is 30 minutes away from the city AND in a non-traditional market
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 9:01 PM EDT up reply actions
The placement is a mistake but there are ways to help with that.

Gas cards with ticket packages and the like. The carolina arena isn’t exactly in downtown either, they seem to do okay with attendance once football season is over.

apples and oranges. completely different markets. one with no other pro sports and one with all 4 major sports.
by Stanley Cup of Chowder on Jun 18, 2009 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Hockey can do just fine in places with 3 other major teams, if it can win anything.
