The NHL's best gather tonight for the NHL Awards Show in Las Vegas (my liver and wallet are glad I'm not there, but the rest of me wishes Ryan Miller and Tyler Myers were up for awards like last year). There aren't any Buffalo players among the finalists, but you can still make a pick or two and get ready for Dierks Bentley to get a little sideways during the show.

Mike Harrington, a Canisius College graduate who began his career as a News reporter in 1987, is in his sixth season covering the Buffalo Sabres. He is a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and can vouch that exposed flesh freezes instantly when walking in downtown Winnipeg in January.
