Do players know beforehand if they won their respective trophy or not?

Question

Can you imagine writing 3 speaches and then not winning any of them Lol!

that would suck!

and does Red Kelly need a RED bull? i swear to god he speaks like he's got all the time in the world.

and when russians run out of things to say do they just keep throwing their hands around like Datsyuk?

Oh btw, please dont talk about who won what trophy's cause for some reason (well probably time zone differences) my feed is much slower than most.

i havnt even got to the Adams yet.

Answer 1

Yeah They do know, there is a video of Pavel Bure winning his 1992 Rookie of the Year and before Patrick Roy announced the winner Bure was up and halfway to the podium.

around the 6:55 mark, actually the whole video is cool

NHL.com has already put up all the award winners........sorry to let you know that.

It was a good show, you should have been here, they were looking for seat stuffers.

Earlier this evening.  It only lasts just over an hour.  The live show started shortly after 7:15pm
