The NHL awards are happening in Vegas baby! I'm mailing this one in, and hitting the road. As the South West PPP contingent, it's my understanding that I have a press pass for the show, an all expenses paid suite at the Luxor and $5000 spending money. At least, I'm assuming that's the limit on this card of Chemmy's I found...

In honor of the awards, all links today have nothing to do with them (and no, I'm not going to the awards. Something about the gulag's plumbing backing up...)

- Down Goes Brown [takes us on a nostalgic trip](http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2009/06/peca-tucker.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to a kinder, gentler time in the NHL. Did I say gentler? I meant not gentle. And not kind. Quite frankly, it's freaking AWESOME!
- Initially, I thought Steve was finally getting around to an analysis of Dean Youngbloods career. Turns out, [he's talking Leaf rookies...](http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/2009/06/17/young-blood/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
- TSM catches wind of an [Al Strachan trade rumor](http://torontosportsmedia.com/toronto-maple-leafs-hockey/kaberle-wild/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). It smells of cabbage and rotten cheese.
- Norman James hid in Mario Lemieux's bushes all day to get some shots of the [Stanley Cup victory party](http://normjames.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-did-leafs-get-for-hal-gill-again.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). No, I don't think that's creepy at all.
- MYFO is giving out high fives. Here's one for [head coaches](http://www.meltyourfaceoff.net/2009/06/17/head-coach-five/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)!
- Hockey's Future takes us on a tour of the [Leafs prospect cupboards](http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/11281/maple%5Fleafs2009%5Fdraft%5Fpreview/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Let's just say, we haven't been buying bulk at Costco.
- The Monster [visits Dallas](http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/061809dnspostarslede.368ad43.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and the Swedish contingent pulls out all the stops.
