PrintNo, Roberto Luongo did not win the Vezina Trophy, as he predicted. Alain Vigneault was not named coach-of-the-year. Daniel Sedin did not win the Hart Trophy like his brother did the year before.
But...
Daniel Sedin did win the Ted Lindsay Trophy as the League's Most Valuable Player as voted by his peers, which is just as great of an honor. Video: 1. Daniel receives the Lindsay Award. 2. Dank talks about winning the Lindsay award. Huh, no shots at his brother..
Of course, Dank also won the Art Ross Trophy for kicking everyone's ass on the scoresheet this past season. Video: 1. Dank receives the Art Ross Trophy. 2. Dank talks about winning it with NHL.com hottie.
Ryan Kesler did win the Selke Trophy and rightfully so. Maybe that will help ease his pain a little, as you could see in his face all night that the pain of the Cup Finals loss was still apparent. Video: 1. Kesler wins the Selke. 2. Kesler talks about his Selke win.
Mike Gillis was named GM Of The Year. Hell yes. Video: 1. Gillis wins the GM Of The Year Award. 2. Mike Gillis talks about his award win.
And...Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider won the Jennings Trophy for allowing the fewest goals against this season. Video of them receiving the award here.
Congrats to the guys on their wins/nominations. It was a hell of a year.

Somebody mentioned bringing up more CDC Forum gems so I have one:
-I noticed the NHL awards show had to bleep out a bunch of negative Vancouver comments ,especially by Kevin Smith. However they weren’t so kind with Jay Moores’ comments about classless Vancouver fans booing Bettman when he handed out the Cup. Anyway i would just like to thank the awards show tonight for helping to make Vancouver look like a real classy place to live with fans that are gracious in defeat.? Just though i would post this because i was very sad to see these guys jump on the negative Vancouver bandwagon. I was really hoping they would have more class than to resort to finger biting jokes and bashing the city and fans. It doesn’t help the city rebuild it’s reputation or put the past behind us, very pathetic and childish but i guess i should have expected little more?
-He’s just joking, he made countless islander and edmonton jokes.
-the only thing that was cut, that I could tell, was kevin smith’s single comment. i enjoyed the entire show (except for the music), it was quite funny.
-What did he say?
-what did he say?? the bleeped out comment???
perhaps if u gonna make a thread about it, you could actually say what was said….
-nobody knows, beacuse it was censored…
slow clap…haha

Looking at

I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me

I liked how while Kesler was walking to the stage to accept the selke the camera panned to Toews who looked like he had just eaten a shit sandwich, clearly he does not like Keslord very much.

Yup especially when it comes to the Canucks
Quoted from the Province
As for the rest of the league, there is respect there. But it is begrudging. Toews, for example, has faced the Canucks in the playoffs for three straight seasons and his blood battles with Kesler have become appointment viewing for hockey fans.
"I’m sure they have their opinion of us and we have our opinion of them," Toews said during Tuesday’s media availability. "There’s nothing more than needs to be said. Again, certain teams form certain reputations for a reason."
Ryan Kesler for MVP
"Don't tread on me"
Honestly I used to like Toews but his puppet act is wearing thin.

This is the first year he’s really had disappointment. I still like him as a player, but he handles winning better than losing (as a lot of guys do)
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
when exactly did
toews turn into such an arrogant douche? Was it the cup win, or was he always like this? He’s whiney, he’s passive aggressive, he’s just an all-round unpleasant guy this year. He makes pattycake kane look like a class act all of a sudden.

Exactly!
and passive aggressive is exactly right too. It is obviously the losing thing, he’s not used to it. That shot of him after Kes won made me think he was going to smile all the way to his room and then take out his anger on his man servant.

This just made my day...
Kesler garned 105 first-place votes and 1,170 points to win the Selke, followed Toews with five first-place votes and 476 points.
In fact, Manny Malhotra in finishing fifth in Selke voting garned one more first-place vote than did Toews.
Toews
I know he is a great hockey player but I just cannot stand Captain Self-Absorbed.
How is Kesler any different in front of the camera when he’s not interview bombing? He’s just as sulky as Toews is.

100% yes
Just Toews has hid it until now because he’s been winning stuff
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Toews
for all his skill is an arrogant prick. He needs to eat more shit sandwiches
He's not even THAT skillful
He used to get a lot of praise from me because of his apparent attitude but when that disappeared after they lose what’s left? A better than average but not great player who disappeared in last years finals and besides one timely goal and some douchey comments this year was invisible for the playoffs

From Yahoo, all the vote counts
Some of the votes cast are mind boggling.
I simply do not understand what the Lady Byng Trophy’s criteria is. Toews gets top five? Really? BERGERON gets 16th?

Glad that the Sedins were awarded again.
I am sure that the Sedin-haters were swallowing hard, while watching (Milbury?).
I have one wish for Daniel and Henrik for the off-season. And I am serious about this.
Daniel, Henrick, please do us a favor and enroll in a boxing clinic this summer. A fight clinic for hockey players. The time of being The Nice Guys is over, folks!
It is obvious to everybody, except them, that the Sedins can donate 10 million to those hepless kids next year, and be the nicest guys on earth, and the hockey community will still call them all kind of sexist slurs.
Well, lets see what happens if next time Daniel beats the shit out of that ugly midget named Marchant, and smiles while the clown is taken out on a strecher, with a broken nose, a concussion, and half an ear hanging loose (not from a bite, mind you).
It’s time for an image re-haul. It will add the needed grit to their playoff arsenal.
Daniel and Henrik should take advice from Kesler. He is mean and rugged, and the League loves him for it.
Believe me, fighting skills can be learned just like anything else. I’ve done it when I was in high school, and never regretted it. The Boston series is the proof, that our top players need to be fearless fighters as well. I hope Gillis is listening.
Los Angeles, CA
And ditto for Burrows.
….instead of biting the finger, you break the finger, with one move. And the guy is out for half of the season, and the finger will never be the same. Just sayin’.
Los Angeles, CA
Cause fighting is the answer for the Sedins?
I think a scoring on the powerplay clinic would be more appropriate or a “sucking it up and play hard” clinic. Great players have never needed to fight and the Sedins are no exception.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 23, 2011 10:36 AM PDT up reply actions
I never said that they shouldn't score.
You are absolutely right, they need to destroy the opponents on the scoreboard.
But the Canucks lost the battle against the Bruins because the Bruins bullied them into submission. They were more physical, they were tougher, and meaner.
This is what happens to the skilled teams, when they are not tough enough. And it will happen again.
Great players need to stay on their feet to be able to score. You can’t score when you are on your butt. The Sedins were falling like mosquitoes, every time a Bruin crashed into them.
The Sedins will benefit from getting more physical. They will be tougher on the puck, tougher on the boards. Then they can score at will. When you know how to fight, it adds poise to your game. Confidence to dominate the other. You know that you can defend yourself, and don’t need to go to mommy for help. Joe Thornton, Ryan Kesler, Getzlaf, Iginla (shall I say more?): great players, lots of goals, and good fighters as well.
Los Angeles, CA
The reason
why I brought this up here, is because the NHL Awards is all about image. The image of the League, and the players.
The "Nucks need a serious image overhaul this summer. From "biters’, “divers”, “embellishers” and “whiners”, I want to see them as “destroyers”, if possible.
And I have plenty of company amongst other Canucks fans, when I wish that their image would change.
Los Angeles, CA
frankly
that kinda knee jerk reaction to press spin is what will destroy teams. No, the only image change the canucks need is the one that doesn’t call them ‘Stanley Cup Champions’. Let the haters call us whiners, divers, soft whatever…i’ll take the insults if it comes with the chalice. The only ones who need to know what this team is really about are the players on it and the fans. Let the marchands do their silly shit while we skate in and score goals.
Having said all that, I do think it would be nice to have some sandpaper on the ice at any given time, but NEVER at the expense of the scoring ability we have now. There needs to be much deeper thinking than ‘Dank and hank need to fight’. Cuz u know what? Not in a million years should either sedin be fighting…anyone who thinks such is missing the point of their game.

I am surprised you say that.
I don’t want them to turn into goons either. That’s a stupid idea.
I want them to become tougher and able to defend themselves. They are the face of the Canucks for years to come, and I don’t like the names they are called. I know that those names are not fair, but there is a grain of truth in every name-calling. They need to toughen up, for fuck’s sake. It’s not so hard to do that. Every idiot can learn how to fight, as long as you are not a cripple.
I am not sure that you understand the side benefits of learning self-defense, and learning how to fight. My son has done many years of karate, since he was 5. He is the friendliest kid, never bullies anybody, but when he plays hockey on the ice, he never takes shit from anybody, and nobody can push him around. He can take a hit, or a punch, and he is right back in your face. He has the confidence he needs.
It’s not rocket-surgery. Anybody can learn it, if willing. What’s wrong with adding some grit to your game?
Los Angeles, CA
There's a big difference
Between fighting and having grit. I agree the Canucks need to stop the BS but that doesn’t equal fighting. Kesler is a great example. He’s a terrible fighter but he has more grit than most. What we need is for the players to understand that diving and complaining aren’t answers. Playing through it and scoring goals is the only answer and it’s what all the greats have done. From Steve Yzerman playing on one leg (and taking hacks on that leg) to all the other stories we’ve heard but especially the ones we never heard because the winners were too busy celebrating.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 23, 2011 11:47 AM PDT up reply actions
Kesler
is not a terrible fighter. He is a great figther, because he has the heart of a fighter. He just needs to work on the technique, which is a piece of cake.
You nailed it very well: there is a big difference between fighting and having grit. You just totally missed my point: by learning how to fight, you will acquire the much needed grit.
People who advocate that there is no need to learn how to fight, obviously never learned how to fight themselves. Just do a little research on the phylosophy behind the martial arts, and you will know what I mean.
Learning how to fight doesn’t mean that you need to become a fighter. You may choose to never fight in your life. But you will learn how to keep your balance when being hit or pushed, you learn how to avoid being hit, and how to defend yourself. You will learn how to keep your composure at all times, and have total confidence in your ability to fight.
In other word, physical and psychological edge. Added benefit: you will be able to stay focused even in the mids of a mayhem.
Is there any harm, in having the above? I think not.
Los Angeles, CA
BTW
my definition of learning how to fight doesn’t involve facewashes and succer-punches. I call that goonery.
I define fighting as “being prepared to overcome the enemy, and win”. It involves more than what Marchant did to Daniel.

Kesler may have the heart of a fighter

"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
That's because
his coaches forgot to show him how to throw a decent punch. He could use a few moves from the pros, no doubt.
Don’t you think that with the money he makes, it would be worth spending $60/hour on a good personal trainer who can actually teach you how to hit someone, and take him out with a series of punches?
The alternative is to look like a fool, on national TV.
Los Angeles, CA
Players have to play the game in a way that gives them an advantage. The Sedins fighting would not give them an advantage in play on ice. They would be sitting for at least 5 minutes, they would be cold coming back on the ice, and that’s just not the role we need them to be in. They have played a certain style their entire lives, they can’t reinvent themselves that far off the board at 30 years old, nor should they. What they are doing is working for them, we just need more players to take the heat off them so the entire opposition doesn’t solely concentrate on them.
I think they need to work more on modifying how they cycle the puck. Everyone knows what their game plan is, and they need to be a bit more unpredictable.
