The NHL Awards and Draft The NHL Awards
are on this week.

Basically it is to celebrate the season's achievements ...

I hope Lidstrom wins .... It will be a good way on his retirement.

And then from Vegas to Pittsburgh on Friday will be the draft (I was at the one where Ovie and Malkin were drafted in Carolina)

This year's Draft
should prove interesting. The Order of it ... and the Prospects
I wonder what the Leafs will do with their pick (5th) should prove interesting.

After the Draft on Fridat .... just over a week later comes Free Agency and the Rick Nash sweepstakes ...hmm ...who says the NHL slows down in the summer?
