2010 NHL Awards – Henrik Sedin cleans up at the NHL Awards (Audio)
 |
LAS VEGAS – Center Henrik Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks came into the NHL Awards as one of the most talented and dangerous players in the NHL. By the time he left Las Vegas he had the hardware and accolades that reflected the caliber of player he was this past season.
Prior to the NHL Awards, Henrik Sedin had already clinched the Art Ross Trophy which gets awarded to the player who was the 2010 Regular Season Scoring Champion (Sedin tallied 112 total points – 29 goals and 83 assists).
Sedin earned two further accolades at the NHL Awards by becoming the first Vancouver Canuck player in franchise history to win the Hart Trophy (Most Valuable Player to his team). Henrik Sedin was also voted to the 2009-2010 First All NHL All-Star Team. The Hart Trophy and the NHL All-Star Teams were voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers Association at the end of the 2009-2010 regular season.
In the Hart Trophy race, Henrik Sedin barely edged out two-time defending Hart Trophy recipient Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals by six first place votes and 60 overall votes (full voting tallies are below).

We started this site to meet the growing demand by Coyotes fans in their need for Coyotes News. We do things a bit differently here. We don\'t provide the canned articles you would find on most other sites. We provide analysis, news, and information with a bit of attitude. EDITORIAL MISSION: We let the other guy handle the box scores and stuff like that. We fill in the gaps in coverage....and trust me there are lots of gaps in local coverage that need to be filled.
