Winners are being noted on Kukla’s Korner live as they’re being announced. Meanwhile, so far the Canucks have picked up one piece of hardware:
Canucks’ Vigneault Wins First Jack Adams Award
Vancouver Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault has captured the Jack Adams Award as “the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success,” as selected by the NHL Broadcasters’ Association.
Vigneault received 18 first-place votes and 134 points, edging 2006 Adams winner Lindy Ruff of the Buffalo Sabres, who polled 11 first-place votes and 126 points.
Roberto Luongo announcements, if he wins any of his 3 nominations, coming up soon.
Update: 5:55 pm PST
Martin Brodeur wins the Vezina. So Luongo misses that one. Here’s how the voting broke down.

And Sidney Crosby won the Hart Trophy, so Luongo missed that one. :(

9.Teemu Selanne, ANA36(0-0-2-6-8)
etc.
And Sidney Crosby won the Lester Pearson Award, so Luongo missed that one, too.
Crosby deserved the Hart, but Luongo damn well should have won the Pearson.
WHY DOES GOD HATE THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS?
Congratulations to the coach, however. Not that he would’ve had a prayer without his goalie! 
More later. Maybe.
