It’s that special time of year when hockey and Hollywood combine, and the results are always comedic gold. That’s right, tonight is the NHL Awards show, live from “Please pretend you don’t already know we’re getting a hockey team” Las Vegas, hosted by actual hockey fan Will Arnett.
Sadly, no Buffalo Sabres players are up for awards, but we can all get salty online when the Calder winner is announced. C’mon back tonight and watch hockey players not named Henrik Lundqvist pretend to be comfortable in suits and give awkward acceptance speeches.
