The Washington Capitals’ most memorable moments from the NHL Awards

The 2019 NHL Awards are in Las Vegas on Wednesday, and sadly it does not appear there will be any Washington Capitals at the awards. Team captain Alex Ovechkin, who has won his record-breaking eighth Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy appears to still be on vacation in Turkey with his family.

Since there might not be any Caps players spicing up the evening, here’s a look back at their record-breaking, laugh-inducing, fedora-wearing moments from past NHL Awards.

RMNB Midseason NHL Awards: Hart

The NHL season is just about halfway over, so we’re using the moment to pick our faves for end-of-season trophy winners. The NHL Awards are messy and infrequently go to the players who actually deserve to win, so our picks reflect who should win the award, not necessarily the traditional front-runner. Feel free to agree or disagree with the picks, but these are the correct answers.

This time: The Hart Memorial Trophy, a.k.a. Player of the Year.

Brian MacLellan Named Finalist for NHL General Manager of the Year Award

Wednesday night, the NHL announced that the Capitals’ Brian MacLellan is a finalist for the 2015-16 General Manager of the Year Award. MacLellan helped guide the Caps to the President’s Trophy (as the league’s best regular season team) and the most wins in franchise history (56) this season. Over the summer, MacLellan acquired key veterans TJ Oshie and Justin Williams and re-signed Braden Holtby to a long-term deal.

The Capitals have reached the 100-point plateau in each of MacLellan’s first two seasons as general manager. MacLellan was previously the understudy of long-time Caps general manager George McPhee, who pieced together most of the core of the current roster.

The Penguins’ Jim Rutherford and the Stars’ Jim Nill are also finalists.

MacLellan becomes the the fourth Capital up for an NHL Award this season. Mac will join head Ccoach Barry Trotz (Jack Adams Award), goaltender Braden Holtby (Vezina Trophy), and captain Alex Ovechkin in Las Vegas (Richard Trophy, Messier NHL Leadership Award).

The Only Person Missing From Alex Ovechkin’s Entourage Was Jimmy Kimmel

Alex Ovechkin was joined in Las Vegas for the NHL Awards by a lot of people. And by a lot of people I mean there were so many people in Ovechkin’s entourage that it took several seconds for the camera to pan and capture them all.

There was his brother Mikhail, his girlfriend Nastya Shubskaya, his close friends Abe Hamrah and Gus, marketing genius David Abrutyn, some excited Russian guy with a mullet, and yeah, I have no idea who the rest of the people are.

The only person missing from Ovechkin’s entourage was… Hey, wait a second!
