Pommer and Kaner and Ovie - Oh My!

It's time to talk about the award show everyone was glued to last night...

Bravo's A-List Awards!

Just kidding!

The NHL gave out its annual awards last night, and, of course, they had to schedule the ceremony while I was still at work. That, combined with my family's aversion to getting Tivo, means that all I have to base my opinions on are the photos from Yahoo!, the brief but helpful new coverage, and the recaps provided by all of my favorite bloggers.

What I missed:
  • Alexander Ovechkin can now add Hart Trophy and Pearson Award-winner to his resume along with his invention of the concepts of "fun" and "enthusiasm."

  • Vinny Lecavalier spoke in French during his acceptance speech for the award for being not only beautiful on the outside but the inside as well. It may be a good thing I missed this because my body may not have recovered from the massive swooning.

  • Apparently, voters think that Pavel Datsyuk is more of a gentleman than Jason Pominville. That's ok, Pommers, if they gave out awards for dedication to "The System" and most endearingly delusional optimism - you would win in a heartbeat. Oh well, you still get to room with Goose, which, in my mind, is better than any award.

  • Pat Kane is doing nothing to combat my desire to marry him and join his adorable family. His speech was delivered surprisingly well - you did us proud once again, Kaner!
And now for the award that really matters: Katie's Most Attractive Man of the Evening Award (and the 3 runners-up - because I just want an excuse to post pretty pictures of studly men):
4.) Jarome Iginla
The smile! The polka dots! I'm still trying to figure out how I managed to watch the West before I loved Iggy.

3.) Vinny Lecavalier
I know that he shaved his beautiful head, but he is still more attractive than 99% of all the men I've ever seen.

2.) Jason Pominville
I like the lighting in this picture - it makes him look even more like the cute, little angel that he really is. Now, that is the face of a gentleman (no offense, Datsyuk).


1.) Patrick Kane

I need to get out more if there are other guys like him wandering around our fair city.

It was not nearly as sexy when Brodeur "frenched" us all.

Are there more men like that in Buffalo? I dont know, but the Irish Catholic guys I've met from South Buffalo have been rather attractive. That could be because in my heart of hearts, big pasty Irishmen are my weakness, hahahaha.

Another note, i think Iggy should've worn the outfit he's wearing in my user picture

I KNOW!! I missed it too. I guess it was only at the end of his speech, but still...I would have just been one pile of melted Katie had I actually witnessed it.

I swear, growing up Polish in West Seneca did not help me in the dating department. haha Although, my sister plays on a travel softball team with friends of the Kanes, so I keep trying to get them to bring him to the diamond sometime. =P

That would have been the greatest thing I've ever seen - if only he still had the hair!
