Since they barely cover the NHL in the first place, it might surprise some that the ESPN's ESPY awards actually features an NHL category.
Boston Bruins all-world goaltender Tim Thomas is a nominee in two categories: best championship performance and best NHL player.
In addition, the B's are also nominated in the best team category. Thomas deserves both awards but the NHL player award is probably his best chance for more hardware. Likewise, you could make a great argument for the Bruins but it's hard to see America voting for them over the Dallas Mavericks, the San Francisco Giants and the Green Bay Packers among others.
All I can say is vote early and often so that the Bruins pick up all these awards and ESPN is made to look like clowns for not covering hockey nearly enough.
