Well 2 out of 4 Isn't Bad...

This is the face of a true winner...

Even though our star didn't win them all, Sidney Crosby didn't do too bad.
So, Sidney Crosby won the Messier Award (Leadership), and the Rocket Richard Trophy (Goals). I am personally not sure if Alex Ovechkin should have won the Ted Lindsay award, but ehhh, what can you do?

Now Sidney Crosby has plenty of awards on his decorated and wonderful mantle.

(Rocket Richard, Ted Lindsay, Hart, Art Ross, Lester Pearson, Stanley Cup and Gold Medal for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.)

My favourite quote of the night, was not even from Sidney Crosby. It was actually Henrik Sedin, saying "Daniel, now you can't say you are the better player."

It made me chuckle for quite a while.

But what made me laugh out loud was the Anaheim Duck's Gold vs. Silver skit with Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan. If you missed it, I highly recommend you looking it up.

So, congratulations everyone, see you in the 2010-2011 season.

3 months, 14 days aaaaand counting.

And the Nominations Keep Coming.

Sidney Crosby has been nominated for yet another award.

So far at the young age of 22, he has earned: The Art Ross (scoring champion), Hart (league MVP), Lester Pearson (best player as voted by his peers), Rocket Richard (goal-scoring champion) and a Stanley Cup title.

Now he can win another, the Messier Award. The winner will be announced at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas on June 23rd.

A Little Bit of Background Info:
