Zdeno Chara came to Las Vegas with a chance to win two trophies at the 2011 NHL Awards at the Palms Hotel. He left with just one, but the Bruins captain wasn’t complaining. Not after being able to hoist that other big shiny trophy last week.
Chara lost out on a chance to win his second Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman when Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom won the award for the seventh time, but Chara did win the Mark Messier Leadership Award, beating out Lidstrom and Phoenix’s Shane Doan.
“I came to Vegas nominated for two trophies and I’m leaving with one, so I’m obviously happy,” Chara said. “It’s a privilege. I’m so honored to be here and be selected, and obviously the ultimate prize is overcoming everything and winning the Cup.”
The Bruins won their first Stanley Cup since 1972 last week in Vancouver, and Mark Messier saw the foundation for that victory laid with Chara’s arrival in Boston back in 2006.

Trophy News from ESPN
Kobe Bryant recently said he would rather win an Olympic gold medal than the NBA championship. Was he merely saying what was politically correct before the Olympics? Did he say it only because it sounds better than “I would rather win an Olympic gold medal than lose the NBA championship”? Or does an Olympic gold medal really mean more to him than a professional championship?
Only Kobe knows for sure but what about you? What sporting trophy means the most to you? Of all the things you could win in sports, which would you choose? A Super Bowl ring? The Masters green jacket? The Heisman Trophy? The Cy Young Award? A World Series? A Final Four? There are dozens upon dozens of championships and awards to win, but which would you most want to claim?
Here are a few quick caveats on my rankings:
The form of the award matters. Trophies top plaques, and the bigger the better. After all, you want the damn thing to look impressive in your trophy case.
Names count, too. Awards named in honor of a person (such as the Cy Young) just resonate more than those that, while prestigious, are named something boring and generic like the “MVP award.”
Durability counts. Generally, the longer the award has been around, the more it means.
