It may not be the Stanley Cup, but Bruins' Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and Claude Julien all won top honours in their respective categories tonight at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas.Chara walked away with the Norris, Thomas the Vezina, and Claude Julien won the Jack Adams Award.
Julien was presented the Adams by Pat Burns, whose career path aligns with Julien's: coaching in the same cities (the same junior team, then Montreal, Boston, New Jersey) and now winning a Jack Adams award as well. Let's hope there's a Cup in Julien's near future too.
Thomas' speech was pretty incredible. He was emotional and said he has spent more time worrying about just getting his name on a roster than the Cup, and was humbled to be included in the names of his heroes. Very cool.
Overall a great night for the B's.
