2008 NHL Awards: Bleacher Report's Choice

In light of the NHL Awards Ceremony being this Thursday, we here in the NHL Community came up with an original idea.

Now everyone seems to be posting their predictions on who will win and what will happen with the winners, but thanks to a little back-and-forth with Miah Drew, we want to try something here on Bleacher Report.

We want to hold a vote for our own NHL awards.

So below you'll find the list of each award and a list of its nominees. Read through the list, and then in the comments section, post who you think will win. Friday morning we'll post the results from the awards show and compare them with what you thought here on Bleacher Report!

Hart Memorial Trophy

Alexander Ovechkin (Washington Capitals)

Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames)

Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh Penguins)

Calder Trophy

Patrick Kane (Chicago Blackhawks)

Jonathon Toews (Chicago Blackhawks)

Nicklas Backstrom (Washington Capitals)

James Norris Trophy

Nicklas Lidstrom (Detroit Red Wings)

Zdeno Chara (Boston Bruins)

Dion Phaneuf (Calgary Flames)

Vezina Trophy

Martin Brodeur (New Jersey Devils)

Evgeni Nabokov (San Jose Sharks)

Henrik Lundqvist (New York Rangers)

Jack Adams Trophy

Guy Carbonneau (Montreal Canadiens)

Mike Babcock (Detroit Red Wings)

Bruce Boudreau (Washington Capitals)

Frank J. Selke Trophy

Henrik Zetterberg (Detroit Red Wings)

John Madden (New Jersey Devils)

Lady Byng Trophy

Pavel Datsyuk (Detroit Red Wings)

Jason Pominville (Buffalo Sabres)

Martin St. Louis (Tampa Bay Lightning)

Remember, you don't need to list reasons (you can if you want), but you just need to list the winners. We'll then tabulate the votes and compare it to Thursday's results to see how accurate the hockey minds on Bleacher Report were!

Happy Voting!
