Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon put together an impressive run last season. He had a career-high 140 points and recorded at least one bra trick in that point total.
On Thursday night, his season was properly recognized at the NHL Awards Show.
MacKinnon became a recipient of the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league’s MVP and the Ted Lindsay Award as the league’s most outstanding player as decided by the NHLPA.
Whereas he had beforehand been nominated for each awards, MacKinnon hadn’t gained both of them till final evening. What’s higher than a two trophy evening?
“Each participant I grew up idolizing has their title on these items,” MacKinnon stated. “To be part of that firm is surreal. It hasn’t actually sunk in and it is a particular factor.”
Nathan MacKinnon And His Girlfriend Charlotte Walker Each Had Stable Nights At The NHL Awards Present
MacKinnon wasn’t the one one in his circle to have an enormous evening on the awards present. His girlfriend Charlotte Walker caught the attention of social media throughout the ceremony and, with out query, stole the present.
Stealing the present on the NHL Awards Present shouldn’t be on the identical stage of consideration {that a} sturdy NFL Draft evening efficiency would command, clearly. Not a lot is on that stage.
However greater than 400k views on a Thursday evening on the finish of June is not unhealthy both. It definitely qualifies as stealing the present for an NHL awards present.
If Walker was involved with taking advantage of the social media consideration, which it would not seem that she is, she would doubtless have added to her follower rely.
It is a sturdy begin to the low season. You get slightly time without work, take residence a couple of awards, steal the present, relaxation and get better earlier than gearing up for a repeat efficiency subsequent season.
One thing tells me there will likely be a couple of extra eyeballs on them as they achieve this.
