I don't really mind Nordén winning it. Her performance in the Olympics made me watch the event in Stockholm on TV, which she won. And then she went on and won the World Championship title. She might have finished second in the Olympics, but she's a winner.
Like everyone else here though, I was sitting and hoping for the juniors. At least they did better than Henrik Sedin, when he had won the Hart and the Art and finished like 7th in the votings. The horse lady finishing second makes it such a joke award.
Yay at Landeskog winning an award though. Also enjoyed "Padde" Forsberg's speech.
I like that Lidström was brought on to the stage. But who had the great idea of disrupting the applauds to let some crappy band play, who probably had no ideas who the people on stage were. I guess Lidström has to wait until he's 80 or dead to receive that big appreciation from the people.
Yes, half on jest, half serious, make it an Internet thing?
Players are on videolink (heck Skype or Bambusel works) at their current hometown (or away town, perhaps with another Swedish player as host). With this even none Swedish players (on the Swedish team) could hang with them and comment on the game, the players in the show focus etc). We would have in depth discussions between the players, the show hosts and even between players. It would actually be better than usual shows as the active players will get more room to talk and develop their point if views.
Probably not realistic, but I do not see it as impossible at at all.
On the Internet we do have Sanny Lindström's hockey awards, that he does on Twitter. Maybe build something bigger around that.
