I never saw clearly where he was hit, but it looked like the back of the neck. I didn't see a red mark there though when he skated off so maybe it hit the helmet.

Can we call Yanni “Monsieur Hockey” for his Gourdie Howe hat trick?

[Puckhead]

Tough little SOB. His balance and punching power remind me of DiMaio. Tatar should stick with supporting a fish dinner.

He's mean. Probably had to be, because he looks like an elf. I'm sure he got challenged a lot coming up because of it.

Another awesome bounce-back character win. Domingue redeemed himself very respectably after the softie. Ghod he takes up a lot of net!

- Backup goalie in first NHL game

- 2nd game of back to back after being humiliated for six goals in OTT

- Zero power plays but had to kill off TWO 5-on-3s early

- Sergachev out of position the past 3 games more than in previous 38 combined

- Yanni Gourde is our enforcer now

...and they walked into DET and won their 10th reg season game in a row vs. the Wings

Love it.

Friendly fun factoid... in 26 NHL seasons Gordie Howe had exactly two eponymous hat tricks. A former Bolt once equaled that output in less than a week—and holds the record with ::Ed Rooney voice:: NINE TIMES as many.

But "Rick Tocchet hat trick" doesn't exactly trip off the tongue

No. He has started for AZ in the past few years. Against the Lightning last season.
