2016 NHL Awards: Finalists, Presenters, Start Time, and How To Watch

The National Hockey League will grace its presence in the city that will have its own franchise. Tonight though, the focus will solely be on the nominees for the awards in which they are up for. Even though there is only one representative for the Predators in this year’s awards, all of the candidates are well deserving.

I mean, this guy (Erik Karlsson) is definitely deserving of winning another Norris Trophy, right?

Okay, sorry, I had to take a shot there. Now that that’s out of the way, we can actually appreciate all the skill and talent that all of these guys bring to the table. It will be a fun evening to watch, and I am hoping that all of my rooting interests align with you guys (Pretty much hoping anyone that wears the color red loses). Enjoy!
