NHL Awards - June 22 @ 7PM ET
Now that the playoffs are finished, the NHL Awards are next, and they will be held on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 7PM ET at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas (SN, NBCSN). Although the awards are usually cringe-inducing and hard to watch, it's still interesting to see which players come out on top and add these awards to their resume. We should also see Gio there, as he is a nominee for the NHL Foundation Award for his community work. There should be a couple of controversial decisions as usual (Calder Trophy, Norris, etc), but it should make for good discussion.
Just a reminder of the awards that will be handed out during this day:
