Ted Lindsay Award

His peers made it clear what they thought of the 1971-'72 season.

Gretzky won the Lester B. Pearson Award, now the Ted Lindsay Award, as the NHL's most outstanding player as voted [something falls] by the players themselves.

He also...

Are you okay? Did [laughs] the ceiling fall or?

Nathan McKinnon is 31 years old today, born in 1995, Canadian Professional Hockey Center for the Colorado Avalanche.

He won the Stanley Cup with Colorado and received both the Hart Memorial Trophy and 10 Lindsay Award for the 2023-2024 season.

Happy birthday, Nathan.

For all of you hockey fans out there, I'm sure you know who Nathan is.

In 130 playoff games, he scored 61 goals, totaled 137 points, with 138 penalty minutes.

Phil was a five-time Art Ross Trophy winner, two-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner, led the NHL in scoring six different seasons, was selected as an NHL First All-Star Team selection six times, an NHL Second All-Star Team selection two times, a two-time Lester B. Pearson Award winner.

We won two Stanley Cups in 1970 and 1972, and his number seven was retired by the Boston Bruins in 1987.

Phil Esposito has had a storied post-playing career in hockey as well.

Dionne would go on to lead the team in goals nine of those 10 seasons.

In 1980, he won the Art Ross Trophy as leagues, the league's, uh, leading scorer, and he twice won the Lester B. Pearson Award as league MVP, as voted on by the players over that decade.

Now, if you were making up an all second decade team for the LA Kings, I think the forward lines are pretty obvious.

The Triple Crown line, Dionne, Charlie Simmer, and Dave Taylor.
