After a long season, and ahead of the NHL Draft, the NHL Awards are tonight.
While no Toronto players are nominated, noted Leafs fan and Jake Gardiner roommate Will Arnett will be hosting and newly-acquired Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen will be among the presenters/honourees.
The staff at PPP made our picks before the nominations were out too, so you can follow along and laugh at how poorly we do.
Full details below.
