Well, that was painful

The NFL gets Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson. The NHL gets Chaka Khan and Robin Thicke.

The NHL awards have been an unwatchable mess for years, and last night was no exception despite their attempts to glitz the thing up by holding it in Las Vegas. Of all the big name entertainers who would love to play a gig in Vegas, the NHL hires Chaka Khan, fresh off her big performance at the 2008 Aflac Christmas party.

Only the NHL could hold a boring party in Vegas. Bah.

hahahaha no kidding. When they announced Chaka Khan I was like, who? Then remembered she is some singer who has been barely heard from since the 80's. Do you really expect Bettman knows how to party? Look at the half pint little turd. Guy is clueless, as well as the NHL has no idea how to market anything.

couldn't agree more. not having ron maclean there was about the worst decision they've ever made. jeremy roenick looked like a bumbling idiot and the music was horrendous. hopefully the draft doesn't have musical interludes as well.

The funny thing is that it seems like half of the entertainers out there are Canadians or hockey fans... There probably were better performers attending the show than playing in it..
