It’s an event that could use a little bit of excitement, and this year, that excitement came in the form of Cuba Gooding, Jr. being, well, a tad strangely behaved.
Here’s Cuba telling Mark Messier and Adam Graves to make a Reverse Oreo and then telling one of them not to grab his ass:

Cuba Gooding Jr. has saved the NHL Awards.
— Sean Gentille (@seangentille) June 24, 2014 Dear NHL Awards…leave Cuba Gooding Jr. on stage. For the rest of the show. I don't even care if you don't give out any more awards.
