Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin will be looking to score a hat trick of MVP Awards this evening when the National Hockey League hands out their hardware at the 2010 NHL Awards show from the Palms Casino & Resort in Las Vegas.
Joining Ovechkin on the ballot for the Hart Trophy is Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Vancouver's Henrik Sedin. The trio is also up for the Ted Lindsay Award, given to the league's most outstanding player selected by their peers.
Ovechkin has won the Hart in each of the past two years, and is the reigning holder of back-to-back Lester Pearson Awards. He helped lead the Capitals to the Presidents' Trophy after topping the regular season with 121 points, but the Caps were knocked out of the playoffs by the eighth-seeded Montreal Canadiens in the first round. Ovechkin finished the season with 109 points.
Crosby cracked the 50-goal barrier for the first time in his career. He posted 51 goals and outscoring Ovechkin by one to claim the Rocket Richard Trophy (sharing the award with Tampa's Steve Stamkos).
Sedin had a breakout season, notching 112 points and finished with a plus-35 to guarantee him the Art Ross Trophy as the league's points champion.
Candidates for the Norris Trophy as the top defenceman are Chicago's Duncan Keith, Washington's Mike Green and Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings.
Keith helped Chicago to its first Stanley Cup since 1961, finishing the season with 69 points, while Green led defencemen in scoring for the second consecutive season with 19 goals and 76 points. Doughty, a defensive partner of Keith's at the Vancouver Olympics, had 59 points in the regular season. The 20-year-old is vying to become the second-youngest defenceman to win the award since Bobby Orr in 1968.
Vezina Trophy nominees include New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, Phoenix's Ilya Bryzgalov, and Buffalo's Ryan Miller.
Brodeur has won this award four times and led the league with 45 wins and nine shutouts this season, while his 2.24 goals-against average was third.
Bryzgalov posted career highs in victories (42), games played (69), shutouts (eight), goals-against average (2.29) and save percentage (.920) .
Miller led the league in save percentage (.929) and ranked second in goals against average (2.22) while leading the Sabres to the Northeast Division title. He is also a finalist for the Messier Award for leadership on the ice and in the community.
Colorado's Matt Duchene, Detroit's Jimmy Howard, and Buffalo's Tyler Myers are this year's nominees for the Calder Memorial Trophy as the top rookie.

I thought that Jay Mohr was great - really funny.
I agree that most of the presenters had nothing to do with hockey.
The awards use to be held in Canada. Every year it would be in another city.
That's when we got down home hockey presenters!
However, I doubt it would have been broadcast by American television.
So what is important to team owners is what rules...
Did you notice that there were no female hockey presenters? And I only heard one comment about the Olympic women's hockey teams.
Too bad that the NHL awards is more interested in having fashion models on the stage rather than true female hockey models.
And this is especially sad since two female hockey players are going to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Angela James and Cammi Granato first two female inductees:
Torontonian Angela James and American Cammi Granato have become the first two women to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, announced the Hall yesterday. The ceremony will take place this November. “This is a day I never really thought would ever happen,” said James to the Toronto Star. “I look at this as being a great day for female hockey.” The 18-member, all-male committee selected the women following a change in the selection criteria which made it more inclusive for women. Bill Hay, chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s board of directors said, “It’s time for females to be in,” and that the voting changes reflect the long-range plans of the hockey institution.

I'm not sure if anyone saw this video, shown at the NHL Awards Wed night.

I picked up this tie at an antique mall and have figured out that top 4 players are supposed to be Mario - 66, Gretzky, Cam Neely and Brian Leetch... but at the bottom there are three Winipeg Jets... one goalie and 2 players...
Any clue as to who the three are... and have you ever seen this tie before....
