NHL Awards Betting Preview

Submitted by TSB Editor on June 22, 2010 - 9:08am

The National Hockey League hands out its hardware on Wednesday night at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, if you're going to watch the show to see who gets the trophies you're also going to have to sit through host Jay Mohr and musical act the Goo Goo Dolls.

At least you can possibly make some money as well with Bodog offering odds on all the night's biggest awards.

The top award of the night is the Hart Trophy, with Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, and Henrik Sedin as finalists. Ovechkin has won the award the last two years, but Crosby is the favorite at Bodog at -120. Sedin, who led the league in scoring this season, could be worth taking a flyer on as the big underdog out of the three at +275. If you think Ovechkin can pull of the three-peat he's currently listed at +150.

The easiest award to call on Wednesday night is the Jack Adams Award, which goes to the league's top coach. After leading the Phoenix Coyotes back to the postseason Dave Tippett is a near-lock over the other finalists, Nashville's Barry Trotz and Colorado's Joe Sacco. That's why he's a huge -1000 favorite at Bodog.

One of the more interesting awards this year could be the Vezina, which goes to the top goaltender. At mid-season Ryan Miller looked like he had the award in the bag, and the Bodog oddsmakers like him as well at -500. However, don't count out Phoenix's Ilya Bryzgalov at +500; he was the Coyotes’ MVP this season and could upset Miller and steal the trophy. The other finalist is four-time Vezina winner Martin Brodeur, who the oddsmakers may have overvalued at +350.

The Norris Trophy for best defenseman is also a tight race despite what the oddsmakers at Bodog would have you believe. At Bodog Drew Doughty is the favorite at -175 even though most experts aren't picking him. Duncan Keith looks like a great value bet at +150, while Mike Green could be shut out for the second straight year at +450.

The Calder Trophy for top rookie appears to be a two-way race between Buffalo's Tyler Myers and Detroit's Jimmy Howard. Myers put up stellar numbers from the Sabres’ blue line and is the Bodog favorite at -150. Howard kept the Red Wings afloat when injuries tried to sink them this season, and he could be a smart pick at +110. Colorado's Matt Duchene is the other finalist, but he's a longshot at +650.
