Next entry: Bettman:  “There’s an ‘n’ in there.  Put it in there.  Do it.”

Previous entry: Alright. One More Poll

The Legend? It Lives On From The Chippewa On Down.  In Its Honor?  An NHL Awards Show Live Blog

I’ll be editing this as we move along.

Gordie Howe, Lifetime Achievement Award?  Could it have gone to anyone else?

Lidstrom, Norris?  Check. Legendary.  2nd Best Ever?  Maybe.  Maybe Better.

Datsyuk, Selke? Check.  “Long speech, but English is little.”

Zetterberg, Selke? Denied, but with a big old consolation trophy.

Datsyuk, Byng? Check. There was no doubt.

Chelios, Masterson? Denied, but with a Cup, and still with a job…allegedly.

Uncle Mike Babcock, Adams?  Denied, but there is no doubt, none, who the best coach in the NHL is.

It’s a dynastic Live Blog.

Hey Chief, nice post title. Perfect for the occasion. I just watched the red carpet arrivals on the NHL network. Boy if you thought some of the play-by-play guys were bad during the games, you should see them try to conduct red carpet interviews.
