The NHL Awards Voting Is a Joke | Ep 201

from Checking From Behind · host Checking From Behind

Nikita Kucherov wins the Hart Trophy… and the NHL Awards voting is officially a joke. In this episode, we break down why the Hart race, the All‑Star Teams, and the All‑Rookie Team exposed major flaws in the league’s voting system. We go through the First and Second All‑Star Teams, the biggest snubs, and what the ballots say about how the NHL values its stars. We also dive into the Darnell Nurse trade request, what it means for the Oilers, and which teams could realistically make a move. Then we wrap things up with a full look at the Stanley Cup Final and the biggest storylines heading into the series.  🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥  🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL.  🔥 Follow Us on Social Media:  ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en  ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/  ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind  ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind  📧 Email | [email protected]  🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network  💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25  💥 Powered by 500Levels- Claim 20% ANY Apparel Item Using Code CFBPOD (00:00) Introduction  (03:30) NHL Awards  (30:13) Nurse Requests Trade  (39:50) Stanley Cup Finals  (53:51) Outro Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
