Watched the NHL Awards Ceremony.
Ovie cleaned house again. 3 Awards. Both MVP Trophies. No surprise, huh?
Thomas won the Vezina. That was the highlight of the evening. No one deserved it more. That guy is so fucking good. Such an inspiring story, too. The guy came from nothing. His parents sold their fucking WEDDING BANDS so they could buy him hockey equipment. He spent almost a decade travelling all over Europe with his wife trying to find work. At one point, he even thought he would never get to play in the NHL. And now look at him; greatest goalie alive.
Congrats, Tim. Congrats to everyone. Every last winner was deserving this year.
