Randy Sportak@SUNRandySportak2m2 minutes ago
#Flames Mark Giordano is a finalist for the NHL Foundation Player Award. Others are Brent Burns (San Jose) and Henrik Lundqvist (Rangers).
Quote:
Defenseman Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks, defenseman Mark Giordano of the Calgary Flames and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers are the three finalists for the 2014-15 NHL Foundation Player Award, which is presented to "an NHL player who applies the core values of hockey -- commitment, perseverance and teamwork -- to enrich the lives of people in his community," the National Hockey League announced today.
NHL clubs submitted nominations for the NHL Foundation Player Award and the finalists were selected by a judging panel. The NHL Foundation will present $25,000 to the chosen charitable organization of this year's recipient. The winner will be announced Wednesday, June 24, during the 2015 NHL Awards from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Mark Giordano, Calgary Flames
The Flames' captain has demonstrated a strong commitment off the ice throughout his tenure in Calgary. In 2011, Giordano and his wife launched "5-for-5," a community program -- in partnership with Habitat for Humanity -- in which they donated $25,000 for three seasons to help build five homes in five countries (including Kenya, Ethiopia, India and the Philippines). He also created Team Giordano in the fall, donating $100,000 to provide resources and support for three Calgary schools. Beyond these personal endeavors, Giordano continues to participate in various team initiatives, including visits to Ronald McDonald House and Alberta Children's Hospital.

This is an NHL apology for copping out of giving Gio the Norris!
Boo! The Lizard-Men run the NHL! Dont allow Major League Baseball to read your mind!

The NHL pays a $250,000 bonus to the winner of the major awards, but only gives $25000 to the chosen charity of this winner. Lame

Haha Bob would be a stick in the mud!
He'd give them the option of going to bed at 11PM or if they want to stay up, they can study game tape until midnight, but no later.
