The show is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Versus, er, OLN, er, NBCSports. Live from Vegas, the money grab of all money grabs … unless somebody in the NHL marketing department thinks there’s an Original Six team out there somewhere.
Whyzerman?
Well, at least they didn’t hire Drake this time, because he and his posse might be in a little hot water after that NYC rapper brawl the other night. Nice choice, there, NHL. And they did manage to round up a pretty crappy band in Nickelback and a whole boatload of B- and C-list celebs.
The awards contest is now closed. No more entries, please.
For an hilarious look at the awards finalists, please check out our friend LW3H’s blog, Springing Malik, by clicking here.
The schedule for 2012-13 is expected to be released tomorrow late morning.

FIRST!!!!
So, what?
Every award winner – to Rangers. ...For wholesale price.
Hopefully something goes wrong during Nickelbacks performance.
It was nicely rounded previous thread – 300.
Jpg,
No problem, buddy. Well deserved.
Haha!!
WHYZERMANNo hosts tonight! Perfect!
I say the league pulls a surprise and hands all the award to Nash. Only to have Howson come onto the stage and start auctioning him off to the highest bidder.
What? That’s what this whole saga feels like.
I hate that Nickelback song that the NHL has apparently adopted as it’s “theme” song.
Almost as bad as R-A-N-G-E-R-S…but not quite….
i’ve been to vegas in june. it was 129 degrees.
LOL @ Torts screaming.
Don’t forget boneheads, Gary Betman roast in comedy central at 11
Time to mute!
Wearing all black and adding flames to your performance does not make you rock stars!
“James Norris Memorial Trophy
Erik Karlsson (Ottawa Senators)
A player team owner Eugene Melnyk thinks will “go down in history as one of the great defencemen of all time”, which sounds more promising than the way the last Senators defenceman to score 17 or more goals in a season ended up “going down” and became “history”.”

LMFAO! LW, love your review, man!
Not funny!!
Chandler looks like he just woke up
Jeez, just hand out the fuggin award already…
Am I missing anything? Stuck at work and can’t watch…
All the bloody highlights they’re showing for best defenseman are offensive plays. Pathetic.
RIGGED!
There goes my prediction! Right on the first award!
Trust me, NYR, you’re missing nothing!
Nugget’s gf looks underaged!
so far not too impressive…
got my dvd in the mail carp! thanks for sending it over!
Showing Devils beat NYR! Ugh!
lol @ Brown trying to drink from the wrong side of the bottle
Brown has a drinking problem!
=O
Crap! Looked like Hank twisted his ankle coming down the stairs!
Is Tracey Morgan supposed to be funny?
Tracy Morgan on the Rangers? Does any other team get goofed on like this!?
This is an insult – why don’t they goof on the Flyers? They own the team…
We signed Tracy Morgan? When were you break the story, Carp?! You slacking my friend! lol
They goof on the Rangers because people give a %$#& about the Rangers (and because celebs live in NY, so they’re available to tape).
More importantly, is Quick gonna rip off Hank?
Glad I’m not watching this mess!
30 minutes passed and one award was handed out. They’re really dragging this out with these horrible “comedy” bits.
You made a great choice, NYR_FAN!
Who is this guy!?
Let’s go Hank!
He’s from that crappy show “Glee” where those dopey teenagers sing songs.
Ted Lindsay will crap himself if a europansy wins his award!
Who’s the blonde?
LOL! Did he say “Ev-Jenny Malkin”??
He couldn’t even pronounce his name! Sweet! First robbery from Hank..
LOL @ this speech!
You would think he would have learned to speak by now!
How many years has this goofball been in North America? Frankenstein-looking mutha…...
Not much of a robbery. I think he deserved it.
Let’s got Torts!
Jeezus this show sucks!
Was that the Most Outstanding Slew Foot award?
Igor got his first award of the night…
His English is embarrassing! I’d be ashemed to even open my mouth
Hitchcock wins. Boooo!
Probably, ORR – but it should have been taken away from him immediately because he can’t speak English…Well, Hitchcock!
Bull!!!!! He didnt even coach the whole year!
Ok I’m turning this crap-show off…
Everybody Hates Tortorella. They give the award to Captain Kangaroo. Unreal.
If he dyed his hair black, and grew a stache, he’d look like Paul Bearer.
Kevin Weekes should give Malkin speech lessons!
They can’t even pick a guy who was there the entire year.
Captain Kangaroo, hahahaha! that’s great!
Malkin should ask Siri to do his interviews for him.
Good Lord….this crap is unwatchable.
Malkin will sweep all the awards…including the Vezina
See, I told you all that the league hates the Rangers! 0-2. Fargin ice holes. They can all go farg themselves and their fargin trophies! Bunch of wimps and cork suckers!
Tracy Morgan, George Wallace, Kevin Weekes…Think the NHL is playing a defensive game here..?
I’d Kreider eligible for Calder next year?
>>>Malkin should ask Siri to do his interviews for him.
Siri will have to be reprogrammed to sound like Wanda Sykes first…..
Definitely, Papa
Nice T-shirt she’s wearing! Oh, wait – that’s a dress!?
Malkin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Erin Andrews for fourth line on the Rangers replacing Rupp. She would cheer up the room just by showing up.
So he actually could have won the Con Smythe one year and the Calder the following.
Eliot? Halak? What? Why?
Who’s the chick with crooked legs?
Too bad Brian Elliott returned to his old form in the playoffs.
This show is embarrassing. Worst one ever.
Yeah, but does he block shots?
Crooked – I’d say long and shapely!
Can we get, MalKING please? Please? Pretty please?
At least the wacko from Ottawa didn’t win…
Yawn…..
Excurciating is what this show is.
Carp, I thought Jay Mohr and the “musical” act last year couldn’t be surpassed – but I was wrong!
Peter Bishop!
I think Malkin ran out of gas in the playoffs…...
The NHL really sucks! Hey! At least that Devil Bastage didn’t win!!!
Yup. Even with the Whyzerman thing, it was better than this one.
Wow! How does Landeskog win it over Nugent-Hopkins?
Landeskog’s mother has it right…...she is in Hawaii instead of attending this disaster.
Wow I got one award right so far…I think
Is this Landeskog guy Swedish? He speaks better English than….well, almost everyone!
Charlie needs to go back to the triple deke. He is a goofball.
Nugent-Hopkins was injured too much
And now for the winner of the Jason Strudwick award for useless scrub/ good locker room presence award goes to…....... Mike Rupp!!!!!!! Yeah! Baby!!! The arrangers win an award!
What am I watching??
You would think that the Blues won the Stanley Cup – jeeez!
Doug who?
A St. Louis, out in the second round love-fest.
I thought JD was their main-man!?
Did Armstrong play for the Rangers?
So far only nugent-hopkins pick sent south.
Before being eliminated in the second round by a collection of other teams rejects. Great job by Poile.
They need to give out the REAL trophies…..not this bogus miniatures. Could they have screwed this up any more? Unfunny and excruciating.
Carp is the best for posting this in the NHL.com comments (and Twitter): “This is the worst awards show yet. embarrassingly bad. and not even a little bit funny.”
And a Devils fan comes back with: “why because no Ranger have won?”
Last I checked, Henrique lost the Calder, too.
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=635277
Why isn’t Slats nominated for GM of the year? His club went from almost missing playoffs to winning the East! RIGGED!
Well, the kid was a Ranger – a Kitchener Ranger, unfortunately…
Happy to hear Landeskog got it….he’s going to be an absolute monster in this League…
Boy, this is BAD…...you know it’s fixed when they even joke about having “Shanny” punish Ovechkin..
I had to turn it off during the Shanahan segment.
He’s definitely a more complete package than The Nuge…
I guess Dustin Brown has done that more than once, since this is a different picture: https://twitter.com/TylerSteimel/status/184097064127438849/photo/1
Hahaha!! Shanahan wasn’t impressed!!! Everyone associated with this disaster should be taken out back and shot!
I think the writers need adults
This thing sounds quite embarrassing….and you know they are going to repeat it all summer on NHL Network….Ugh!!
If Nugent-Hopkins doesn’t miss 20 games, he wins it, hands down. Still should have won it though. Both with 52 points. Landeskog only had four more goals.
Maybe will arnett should give out suspensions. Makes as much sense as shanny.
Wow!!! I just turned on the nhl awards show and watched somebody try to be Bredan Shanahan. This award show is amateur hour at it’s best. Needess to say I switched to a different channel.
Unwatchable. Embarassed to be a hockey fan. Jay mohr way better than this carcillo.
This awards show blows! Mostly because most Hockey players have the personality of an ameba. The coaches are not much better. At least Torts smiled a little.
Hank better get the Vezina. No way he gets the hart over Igor.
Stamkos never won the Cup, you floppy shlong!
Where do they get these guys?
And this guy is an actor. Which means he is a professional script/ TelePrompTer reader. Yet he sounds like this his first time.
>>>Where do they get these guys?
The Hollywood/Vegas Drunk Tank?
No Comcast/Philly/NBC collusion here – wonder how he got chosen…?
What did you guys expect form this show? Roadside circus and magicians? lol
I guess you had to be eliminated before the conference finals to make the cover of the stupid video game.
Giroux on the cover? I’ll conveniently not receive NHL13 from Gamefly in a few months….
Heidiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
Floppy Schlong. Werent they synth duo with a video on mtv?
They should have got Kate Upton to give out the awards in a bikini – at least that would make the show a little more watchable..
Upton is a smart girl. She knew this would be a mess.
Here we go again, with the Shanny bit.
The last tine PJ Stock got an ovation was in a strip club.
Oh, No – not again!
Jimbo – best idea of the night!
So much worse to hear idiot pens announcer during malkin clip
EV-GAY-NEY MUH-L-KING
Just a terrible, embarrassing show – My God, how bad can it be….?
Jimbo
Here here! But Manny maybe offended by her presence in a bikini since it may violate women’s rights or something.
Will Arnett’s career is clearly over. Who is next, Jason Alexander?
WTB?
bettman just winked!
Shanny they are making an idiot of you!
>>>Jimbo – best idea of the night!
Yeah, Papa, but ORR is right – she knows better than to get booked onto this turkey!!
This is so painful players getting suspended should be forced to watch the NHL awards like Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange
As bad as it is, I just can’t turn it off. Morbid curiosity.
Czech, this show violates Human Rights, at least for sane humans….
That Buttman wink was terrifying.
The LA Kings Cup DVD comes with an egg? I don’t get it.
>>>Will Arnett’s career is clearly over. Who is next, Jason Alexander?
Maybe Michael Richards could make an appearance to yell bad things at Morgan, Wallace and Weekes!?
Kevin Smith sucks.
I wish Obama would have utilized executive privelege to prevent this awards show.
Jimbo – lmao
>>>Kevin Smith sucks.
Plus, he’s a Devils fan – or is that redundant?
Bergeron – good player but No Bob Gainey.
Thank you, Papa – even I could “out-comedy” these amateur-hour (copyright, Miami Pimp) idiots!!
Bergeron’s girlfriend must be the Oompa Loompa’s mother.
Sacre Blu!
Makes sense, Jimbo. He sort of looks like him.
Did pacioretty just thank Zdeno Chara?
“I still can’t speak French, and I never will”.....
Lupul read backwards is lupuL…weird
Gary Bettman is a dope. This league just reported revenue of 3.3 billion dollars. Up over 50% over the year before the strike. And now the owners are going to ask the players for more money because they …..........oh, that’s right, they are not doing well? Good luck on that. Let me know how that works out for you when you have to deal with Donald Fehr.
Bring back Jay Mohr!! Whatzerman is going here!???
“Did pacioretty just thank Zdeno Chara?”
I knew he wasn’t alright after that hit!
Oh, No – here comes Nickelback…whatever that is..
“Coming up, Nickleback burns it to the ground” We can only hope!
Nickelback time!
Better yet, just end these award shows. Does anyone really give a crap aboot them?
Fehr over Bettman
Diving? NBC is promoting the NJ Devils playoff games again??
Who? Another nobody..?
What’s the over under on making the cut of the award selection pool? I am getting my arse kicked.
Hey! Alfie shaved his soup-strainer!
Nobody cares about Fisher. They all want to meet his wife.
Hiw can Radulov get snubbed for this one in favor of his teammate!?
Jimbo’s on fire! LMAO @ diving devils playoff game
“Thank you, thank you – I’ll be here all week!”
Doan seems like a Graves type. Would have been a good Ranger.
Foreshadowing? Doan to the Rangers!?
Thanks, C3!
Is Mess gonna cry!?
I’m muting the rest of this. That’s all I can take.
Jimbo – Funniest Blogger of the Year Award
Here comes Mutt Moulson again – get ready to shield your eyes….
Look at the ears on this clown.
Thanks, Papa!
That’s because he’s SOFT!!!!!!
Eberle looks high.
Oh-oh!! Looks like the Fishsticks got shut out this year!!! No Mutt Award!
Defensman should never win the Lady B Award.
OH, NO!! More Shanny?
A man should never win an award with “Lady” in the name.
Dear God!
We need to initiate the Carcillo Award and give it to the idiot that produces this award show.
The NHL should be so embarrassed at this “performance” – no wonder they’re a fourth-tier sport in the USA..
Everyone in the league office that had anything to do with this show should be fired or sent to the KHL…
Kevin Smith is an idiot.
Rangers are the butt of all the jokes tonight..
It is somewhat worth it watching Sanahan play the fool. If he had any self-respect he’d tell Bettman where to stick it. he can’t be that hard up for cash, could he?
Tappen!! She’s overdressed….
Meh! Not a big Tappen fan, to be honest.
Hey Melrose, remember when you benched Stamkos and then got fired 4 games into coaching the Lightning? Awkward….
Shanny likes the attention, I think…
Stampkos, Jari Kurri reincarnated
Dancing With the Stars? OMG…
Did we win anything yet?
Who the hell is this two-bit bimbo?
I’d let her, ORR….
He may know how to score goals, but he needs work with the Ladies!
No, Manny – except for being the butt of most of the “jokes” on this Godawful presentation…
I don’t want my Nickleback. I’ll take 5 pennies instead.
Papa, maybe they’re not his “style”...
haha, censor FAIL
They shoulda had Hank and his band play instead of the Redneckback
Good lord Nickelback is horrible
Two-bit Bimbo?!!! Post of the evening CARP! We are still laughing here.
What did I miss, Joe?
Jimbo, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
She’s from “Dancing With the Stars”, Carp – how dare you!? ;-)
Nickelback blows chunks. Now it is time to see Hank get screwed again times 2.
Not at all, Papa – not at all!!!
It’s gonna be a long off-season Boneheads. It already has.
Kane – this generations JR
That Duchene goal is so cool!
LOL @ the Bolts! Victor Hedman! Hahaha!
Please let Lundqvist win this to ease the pain
Man, Liotta looks horrible.
Well, Ray Liotta is still alive, anyway…..unlike Henry Hill…
Ray has had some serious work done on his face!
The mileage has not been kind to Ray Liotta.
HANK!!!!!
The King!!!!!!!
OK, Hank – now win a Stanley Cup!!
Is that Chi Chi, from Scarface, with Hank?
Put the gun down Karen!
Oh-Oh!! What did he say!?
Hank with the F=bomb!
And that F-bomb made it worth it
Did Hank drop a bomb?
Haha! Now I have a reason to watch the repeat!
Hank’s on the prowl in Vegas 2nite with the wife back home with one in the oven.
This guy looks dead.
Carp!!! You have to tell Hank about “byfuglien”!!!
Malkinstein again…
Cummon hanky pinky!,,
Twins separated at birth…. Steven Stamkos and Ray Liotta!!
Carp
In honor of the King, let’s have a f bomb day?
Did Gonchar die recently!?
Does Malkin play for the other team????
Horrible show! Can’t wait for the draft!
Not Malkinberry! I friggin hate him
Fire bad!,,
I thought Malkin was gonna announce that he and Gonchar were secretly married a few days ago in Vegas…
Henrik F-Bombqvist! CLASSIC!!!
Congrats on Vezina!
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Henrik should have said “bleep you, Maaaarty!!
EvGAYny Malkin.
Hank stops the puck and drops the F Bomb!
He definitely said Gonchar is my only lover, lol
When he retires he can play the brother on the Russian version of Everybody Loves Raymond
Congrats King, bout time
>>>Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Of course not, Papa!! Of course not! I thought he was gonna be brave and make the show his “coming out” party, what with all the awards he won tonight..
What is it with kings and f-bombs lol
I just have one last thing to say about this awards show.
OHhh Fukh!
Followed it on twitter so missed the byfuglien bomb. Anyone with a YouTube link?
Please and thank you.
Well, at least our beloved Rangers didn’t get totally shut-out of the awards. Unlike our two other geographical poacher-teams did…
Paul, it was “silenced out” – you couldn’t hear the bomb at all…
not surprised in the least that Tortorella didn’t get an award voted for by the same people he (rightly) calls out for being idiots on a nightly basis
where did he finish in the voting, though?
Here Paul:
http://t.co/zvlEpYcs
um, second or third, Lloyd.
I heard the F-bomb. The mute button was late.
Thx Noah. That’s classic. Meanwhile NHL should book hank and McEnroe for the musical act next year.
F- bomb!!!!!
You’re right, Carp – I didn’t recognize it when he first said it – it was kinda “low” in volume here..
They tried, but like the rest of the show, they FAILED to bleep him…..
Could it get worse? Yep, NHL Network has Melrose, Tappen and Weekes and a bunch of dorks filing out of the theater trying to get their mugs on TV.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=1tpS_5uAzFE
What an embarrassment….yowza, that was a bad show!!
Poor Dubi – think he’s a goner, Carp?
Nah. Dubi stays. Prust takes huge money out west.
hash tag this beaaaaatch
“Prust takes huge money out west”
you think he’s planning on robbing a train?
The only thing Dubi has in his favor is probably that no other team is willing to take on his contract, what with his performance this past season..except maybe for the Fishsticks..
Dubi is NOT a goner.
He is worth the money, he will come back
should we look into it that Hank didn’t thank Torts in his speech but thanked Dolan???
just caught up on dvr little guy has 103 fever. what a pathetic show. congrats hank we are nothing without u
schedule tom cant wait.
bobby ryan friday what a weekend ahead
John McEnroe on costas show
said his friend Hank is best celebrity tennis player
Meat Loaf/Pavarotti worst (fell jumping over the net)
All Time Vezina Trophy winners for the Rangers
David Kerr (39-40)
Eddie Giacomin and Gilles Villemure (70-71)
John Vanbiesbrouck (85-86)
Henrik Lundqvist 2011-2012
Not a bad company at all. So happy for Henrik!
HANK!!!!!!! MY KING!!!!!!
Torts got robbed.
Good evening all!
Do not dis my Ray Liotta…...
Why does Liotta always go for the deep V neck?
Torts with the “crooked legs girl”
http://lockerz.com/s/218717865
He looks happy!
LOL! That’s what I was thinking when he walked out, Nasty.
have to say that it really bothers me Del Zotto still thinks the Garden is chanting “Henry, Henry.”
I mean come on dude
HAHA, yeah man. ALWAYS!!!
You think she has crooked legs now….wait Torts gets done with her!
Why does Liotta always go for the deep V neck?
————————
Because he’s a good fella! Get it? ;)
LOL @ the Torts pic with the girl! haha! He looks very happy!
hartnell….not that’s it’s a great show, but I got home late from work and totally blanked on awards….oh well.
Nasty, that I don’t know….but I’ve been a Ray fan wayyyyyyy before he became a film star….we’re talking soap opera era baby…..he is brilliant, under appreciated, and I love him :)
Good night, Carp!
Geez Erin, one tiny breeze up that dress and that’s more than I need to know.
hmmm….looking at your all comments….glad I missed show.
i know dubi is easy target here, but the rangers were much better against devils with Dubi in lineup. Not sure why you guys want him to leave. I’d rather he stay. Me comprendes? Hay un Manny aqui?
>>>>You think she has crooked legs now….wait Torts gets done with her!
Hahahaha!!!
Didn’t they get worse when he came back?? Not that I’m putting it on him. Prust sayin, he wasn’t much of a spark. Basically picked up where he left off.
Hopefully it’s just one down year, and he rebounds. Personally, I have my doubts. It’s not a good sign that he had such an awful season after signing his four year deal.
>>>Geez Erin, one tiny breeze up that dress and that’s more than I need to know.
Not me, Mama – I’m constantly in a search for knowledge! ;-P
I bet even Nickelback is embarrassed they performed at this show.
I still have hopes for Dubi – but his name seems linked with just about every speculation for trades with our team…
blech….:) fyi, if Prust leaves…..all my plants and I will die.
great Hank,, put it next to the stanley cup…ooops
Damn, that Tracey Morgan skit wasn’t even funny…poor guy is a has been and has to a NHL awards show…
miss this place….I do….hate being so outta touch…..I am so ascared of July 1…..(no, not a typo)
what’s happening July 1, Mama
Why would Prust want to leave here? This stop on the train made him worth a nice, new contract – and he’s gonna get paid. Who did we get him from – Calgary? What was he doing there? Do you think he wants to go back to Ice Station Zebra?
Mama, why do you fear my birthday? I’m the one who is one year older on that day!? ;-)
Wade Redden and Erik Karlsson have the same NHL cap hit….that makes me want to barf….
Thankfully the Isles used their 1st round pick on Josh Bailey instead of Erik Karlsson! LOL! Love it!
LA took Teubert instead of him. Imagine drafting both Doughty & Karlsson in the 1st round? Amazing! Then they drafted Voynov in the 2nd round. He looks pretty good.
Happy early 26th Jimbo!!!
I worry cause I stupidly read a certain beat reporter….deep breath…..I’m OK.
Lloyd, it’s after the last day of June….I hate the end of June.
Ev-Guy-Nee Maal-can
That’s how Vince Vaughn pronounces it….
Doughty and Karlsson…wow, that is a scary thought…
I thought he said Mal-Gan. You’d think, with only three names to memorize, he might be able to pull it off.
We should have a boneheads awards…categories for comedy, gibberish, hockey noll-edge. etc.
Cant watch…..too awful. Hartnell whoever put this show together! Idjits!!!
Niters all…..
“We should have a boneheads awards…categories for comedy, gibberish, hockey noll-edge. etc.”
brilliant! and a wicky…..oh well.
bye,
adios,
i dont care
The Nickelback “performances” were just plain terrible….these guys actually think their good…
...just awful and embarrassing as a hockey fan and a music fan…
and, Chandler….dude, don’t smoke a whole ounce before a presentation…not a good idea…
their = they’re = they are
>>>That’s how Vince Vaughn pronounces it….
Another genius!!
>>>Happy early 26th Jimbo!!!
>>>I worry cause I stupidly read a certain beat reporter….deep breath…..I’m OK.
Thank you, Mama! Ahhh, 26…..I wish, I wish..
Goodnight, Mama! Keep cool!
Hattie!
Congrat’s to the best regular season goalie in the world…..Hank!!!!!!!
Congrat’s to the goalie that will win the Cup next year…..Hank!!!!!
The only fun part of that pathetic horror show, was Hank’s F-bomb. At least it was genuine and made a good laugh.
That’s true, 4ever….way too much Malkin, for anyone and bad attempts at “comedy”..and lousy music..horrible show!
The looks on some of the faces of the audience were priceless. Like, “what is this crapola?” The whole show was so non-funny. So, second-rate. So, bush league. Pitiful.
How about the line before the Vezina? Was it really necessary? “we were going to ask Tim Thomas but didn’t have the time to wait 12 months”?
Huh?
It’s like these are third line writers or something.
LMAO!! EFV-JENNY MALKUN
Yeah, I picked up on that too, Manny – and I think Liotta was making a political statement with his comments about the US president’s job being analagous to a Vezina Trophy candidate…it just didn’t “fit” the venue at all..
MATTY!! Sorry – can’t even blame autocorrect here!
If Hank gets that excited over winning the Vezina, imagine when NYR wins the Cup, the interview he’ll have with Pierre? Hank will make Mel Gibson sound like an altar boy.
>>>The whole show was so non-funny. So, second-rate. So, bush league. Pitiful.
Truly, everyone in the league office should be profoundly ashamed of that show – it had no redeeming values whatsoever.
Bwahahaha!!! Mel Gibson! What a guy!
I wish someone would leak more audio of him flipping out. So funny!
Yeah, but I think that chick may have set him up and drove him crazy!!!
He is a tortured soul, that’s for sure….
Jimbo, I get what the NHL was ‘trying’ to do. THey wanted to seem current, hip, with it.
Unfortunately, it was not, stale, and poorly executed. It missed the mark and was amateurish. Well, hopefully they learn from this and get better next year.
And, if you’re Shanny, do you like the publicity? Or are you inflamed by the portrayal? I say the latter if it’s me. In a sense those poor shots at humor were embarrassing to the sport and what he is trying to do. Then again, he’s been pitiful most of the season, too.
Matty, when the camera panned to Shanny in the audience, you could see on his face that he was not impressed with the horrible attempts at “comedy”...
I would be inflamed at the portrayal – but maybe he’s just taking the money and running.
The show is better off not being aired if it is going to make a laughing-stock of the league and its product. The sport is great, but the people that are the stewards of it have handed its image over to aasen-holes of the worst kind!
the Gibson tapes are amazing..lol
Im sure Lundqvist answers to Henrik, Henry, Hank, and Henke. All variations/nicknames of the same name.
Did anyone notice that most of the award-winners didn’t thank their fans? So is Del Zotto gonna be pissed that Hank didn’t thank him after his tweet from that oh-so-amusing Twitter bit they did? Wow, why did they even bother reading Twitter on the air? It’s like the computer reading out print for blind people. I think my favorite part was when Peter Bishop/Charlie Conway/Dawson Creeker/Joshua Jackson actually apologized for the joke he was about to read because he, like everyone watching the show, knew the writing was horrible. Then he distanced himself from the joke even more by saying “I don’t write this stuff.” That was classic. Imagine how awesome it would have been if everyone on the show that had to read a horrible joke off the teleprompter did that? That would’ve been a good show. hehe
Just got done watching the dvr’d awards show…a few (very few) funny parts
That Erin Andrews dress….bazinga!!!
Orr
Wasn’t she the one with the video that someone took of her changing in a hotel room?
Back to the awards show…meh!
Congrats hank! Great f bomb btw!!!
Happy birthday Jimbo!!!
Now let’s draft and trade and sign free agents!!
Night aasens
Wow, after reading these comments, I’m glad I forgot to watch the “show.”
Free Agent Day is my birthday, Wicky – thank you!! I hope Uncle Glennie gets me (us!) a nice present!!
