As the Boston Bruins continue to lament an early playoff exit, the regular season is being celebrated at tonight's NHL Awards.

And rightfully so. It was a banger.

Linus Ullmark and Jim Montgomery are first time finalists and likely first time winners of the Vezina and Jack Adams.

They both had interesting things to say Sunday about their outlooks for next season and maybe even the possibility of the goalie being moved.

Plus, why Patrice Bergeron won't be in attendance as he goes for his 6th Selke, and why David Pastrnak probably won't win his awards but Don Sweeney will.
