The ESPY Award (short for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) is defined as:
''To recognize individual and team athletic achievement and other sports-related performance during the calendar year preceding a given annual ceremony.''
The ESPY Award Show was held last night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and was hosted by NBA star Stephen Curry.
One of the awards handed out was the Best NHL Player Award and the 2022 nominees were Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators and Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers.
McDavid lead the NHL in scoring once again with 44 goals, 79 assists for a total of 123 points.
The best player in the world followed that up with 33 points in 16 playoff games.
Did they get it right?
