Senators' poor season reflected in awards voting
To no one's surprise, the Ottawa Senators got very little prestige at the NHL Awards Show last night.

A Charming End To A Memorable Season
It's easy to pick apart a groundbreaking effort to stretch the boundaries of what some may say ought to confine a season-ending awards show for the greatest players in the world, of our favorite frozen game. Not being one who feels unendingly drawn to that plastic, wholly-artificial city in the...

Steve Mason wins Calder Trophy
Steve Mason is your 2009 NHL Rookie of the Year. What an incredible season, especially for a young guy who was playing in juniors just a season ago.
