MacKinnon a Lady Byng Finalist

 

[S E P H]

So St. Thomas in Minnesota is the next team confirming that they're joining DI hockey from DIII around next year. @henchman24 any word on the school? I see that it's private and Catholic so that means it's probably rich correct? Do they have a good programme or are we expecting something like Holy Cross here?

I'm private and Catholic and I'm not rich.

Aggressive school with big athletic donors... I don't know how successful they will be, but in a prime location and have the cash to build a solid program.

Bergevin's quarantine hair looks like a photoshop job

How he looks normally

God damn, what the hell is going on?

He looks like Old, grumpy, Communist Sean Penn

Lady Byng just seems to be about "fewest PIMs" these days, which is a weird way to go about it. I know hockey writers can't possibly get to know every single player on every team but using PIMs as a shorthand for sportsmanship is kind of lazy. My guess is Nate came in 3rd.

Someone should photoshop the Lady Byng in for the water bottle because that's probably how MacKinnon would feel about it, especially if that's the only trophy he wins.

Mack nominated for Lady Byng? I bet all the refs he screamed at during the season love that.

What the hell happened to Bergevin? He went from Don Draper to David Lynch in a matter of months.

I guess hair dye isn't an essential service in Montreal.

Given the injury situation The Avs went through this year, I’m surprised Bednar wasn’t named as a finalist for the Jack Adams.

The Jack Adams is a pretty cursed award so I don't mind.

Yes please.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

There should only be one Vezina finalist this year. Hellebuyck was in a tier of his own.

Nate if somebody else wins...

Nate if somebody else wins...

Haha, him missing out on the big individual awards again.

 

[Pokecheque]

Perfect use of a Friends GIF.

 

[UncleRisto]

Going for a last hurrah.

Also, Kapanen's comment is 100% a "Swedes are girls" joke, lol.

 

[BaconNater]

Oh great now Nylanders helmet will stick even farther up off his head looking like he has a bees nest tucked under his helmet

Seems appropriate that Flow is commenting on this.

And Finns aren't wrong on this...

Ended up browing Instagram (I honestly never do that) because of the Landy/Girard thing in the other thread and the website suggested me various hockey players.

This one took me by surprise. Is Lias Andersson openly gay? If he is good for him he looks happy but it would be the first time that I see a pro hockey player being openly gay.

If so it's about bloody time. It's just a shame that he might never even be an NHL player.

I believe that's Jacob Moverare, a Kings' prospect. Him and Lias played hockey together growing up, and Jacob was housesitting for Lias while he was in New York. Nothing I can find points to them being in anything other than a platonic relationship, though that shot of them on the bed ain't doing them any favors if they're expecting to be in the closet.

Who knows? Close friends, lovers. I don't care. They obviously enjoy each other's company.
