NHL announces schedule for revealing winners of 2020 NHL Awards
The COVID-19 pandemic will change how the NHL gives out its awards this year.
The league will begin revealing the winners for eight-straight days during the Conference Finals, concluding in an NHL Award Show held during the Stanley Cup Final where they will announce the new Calder, Hart, Norris, Lindsay, and Vezina Trophy winners. The Capitals’ John Carlson is a finalist for the Norris Trophy.
The first award, the winner for the King Clancy Trophy, will be learned pregame on Sunday.
Here’s the full schedule from the NHL:
NEW YORK (Sept. 5, 2020) – The National Hockey League announced today that it will reveal winners of 2020 NHL Awards presented by Las Vegas throughout the 2020 Conference Finals and 2020 Stanley Cup Final.
Beginning this Sunday, Sept. 6, NBC Sports, Sportsnet and TVA Sports will announce winners during their pregame windows for the 2020 Conference Finals. Those announcements will be followed by media availabilities with each winner during the first intermission of the respective games.
The daily schedule, which is outlined below (with finalists noted in parentheses), will culminate with a 30-minute program during the 2020 Stanley Cup Final that will reveal the winners of the five remaining awards: the Calder Memorial Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy, James Norris Memorial Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award and Vezina Trophy. More details on that show will be shared in the coming weeks.
“Every year, we go to Las Vegas and the city is an incredible host for our NHL Awards show,” said NHL Chief Content Officer Steve Mayer. “This year we’ve decided to do it differently, but we are thrilled that Las Vegas has joined us to hand out eight straight days of awards during our broadcasts on national TV in the United States and Canada.”
“Las Vegas is delighted to once again play a part in celebrating the League’s best during the NHL Awards,” said Steve Hill, CEO/President of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “The NHL Awards has grown into a phenomenal event, and while this year will look a little different, it’s an honor to present the awards throughout the 2020 Conference Finals and 2020 Stanley Cup Final.”

Hey, we are in La Plata’s Plaza San Martin. Guess what, it has a Monument to General José de San Martín.
The bronze equestrian statue depicts General San Martin waving the flag. At his feet a woman (the grateful Republic) holds out a laurel wreath, next to a crest with the arms of Argentina.
The monument is a replica of the one in Boulogne-sur-Mer where San Martin died.
The monument was sculpted by Emile Allouard and architect G. Bouzy.
25 April, 1914, President Victorino de la Plaza inaugurated the monument in the center of the plaza. At that time the place was renamed “Plaza General San Martín”.
San Martín is regarded as a national hero of Argentina and Peru, and one of the Liberators of Spanish South America.
The Order of the Liberator General San Martín (Orden del Libertador General San Martín), created in his honor, is the highest decoration conferred by the Argentine government.
In 1848 San Martin moved to Boulogne-sur-Mer, a small city in northern France. He was almost blind and had many health problems because of his advanced age.
Shortly after receiving the news of the Argentine victory against the Anglo-French blockade, San Martin died at 3 AM 17 August 1850.
29 May, 1880,San Martín’s remains were repatriated to Argentina. The mausoleum was placed inside the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral. As San Martín was suspected of being a freemason, the mausoleum was placed in an expanded wing of the Cathedral.

27 March:
After travelling from Valparaiso, Chile with no port stops the Zaandam with the Rotterdam are pulling into the Bay of Panama. No idea how long the ships would wait to receive Panama Canal transit permission.
We had escorts including many Brown Pelicans.
Groups of Brown Pelicans fly low over the waves in single file, flapping and gliding in unison. Their feeding behavior is spectacular, as they plunge headlong into the water in pursuit of fish.
From Intl News service:
The Panama Canal Authority said two cruise ships carrying more than 1,800 passengers and crew — some infected with COVID-19 — stranded off the Central American country and hoping to reach port in Florida are waiting for the process to transit the canal is arranged.
The announcement came after the passengers received mixed signals about their fate. While Panamanian officials said they would let the two ships transit the Panama Canal, the cruise company said it had not been given official permission and Fort Lauderdale’s mayor said he didn’t want it to dock near his city as planned, at least without extensive precautions.
Panama’s Health Ministry announced it would allow the Zaandam at sea since leaving Argentina March 7, to transit the canal, though no passengers or crew would be allowed to disembark. The independent Panama Canal Authority also issued a statement saying it was preparing to "facilitate the transit of the Zaandam through the waterway.”
The canal authority released a statement saying the transit process of the Zaandam and the Rotterdam – a sister ship – had begun.
There were 248 Canadians among the ship’s 1,243 passengers and 586 crew before it reached Panama.
