What happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay in Vegas! And the winners are....


The NHL handed out its awards on Wednesday night, recognition to those that have performed far beyond the normal levels of NHL play for the 2010-11 season.

Held in Las Vegas once again, the NHL saluted it's best amid the noise and celebrity (not to mention the gambling) of the famed Vegas strip.
