Could the Olympics performance influence the 2010 NHL awards voting?

I know that it should not, but...

...regardless of whether USA wins or loses that final game, Ryan Miller's performance in the Olympic hockey tourney should improve his Vezina/Hart chances.

Just MHO.

With, so far this NHL season, a .930 save percentage and 2.16 GAA, I'd say he doesn't need much help from the Olympics. But voters are human, and his Olympic performance sure isn't going to hurt him.

Nope

Same reason Hagman and Demitra won't be anywhere near any awards

Maybe Keith and Doughty will be leading contenders for the Norris now after their performances for Team Canada. Although they were already up there coming into the Olympics, they probably opened more eyes around the hockey world after what they've done in Vancouver.

It shouldn't, but I think it might open some eyes about certain players. Like how Ryan Miller should be (and is, in my eyes) the leading candidate for both the Vezina and the Hart.

Miller will definitely get a boost from it, especially if USA comes out on top today.
