sockeye Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Bo played awesome and great in the faceoff circle. He played like the Captain he is. Great Gordie Howe hat trick! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grats I have often wondered why this accomplishment is named after Gordie Howe as he was not the 1st to do this nor did he accomplish this feat more than others. Howe only had 2 "Gordie Howe hat tricks" in his career and, to his credit, both were against the Leafs. He probably could have had more but nobody wanted to fight him so I guess there is that but the most in NHL history is Rick Tocchet with 18. The best explanation I can find for it being named after Howe is: In ice hockey, a Gordie Howe hat trick is a variation on the hat-trick, wherein a player scores a goal, records an assist and gets in a fight all in one game. It is named after Hall of Famer Gordie Howe, who is known as "Mr. Hockey", because he is considered the most well rounded hockey player of all time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though everyone seems to fixate on the number of times each has happened in the same game, very few players have been able to maintain the same level of overall scoring and physicality.

ruilin96 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Also played head to head against the Bergeron line and that line didn't register a point with him on the ice (both Pastrnak goals were scored when Horvat wasn't on the ice). Bergeron didn't get a single point tonight as well. Edited February 23, 2020 by ruilin96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Best game he has played all year. His line dominated a pretty good team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glug Datt Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I thought Stech was going for one too, looks like he was trying to find a dance partner at one point.. how often do you see 2 GHH's in one game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerMainLander18 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 It's good to see the team elevate their game in that kind of game. The team was not soft last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grats Bo always steps up for the games against Boston for whatever reason. Almost makes you wonder if he was secretly in the lockerroom back in June 2011.

I mean M*rk M*ssier has a leadership award named after him so I’m guessing Accurate descriptions for hockey accomplishments/awards aren’t really necessary... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hopefully this puts to rest the idea that Petey should have been captain. Y'all on crack for suggesting it. Even thinking it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckster Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 What I really noticed : Bo's line was shutting down the Boston top line so well, that they figured by getting him into the Box for 5 min. or more that would give Bergeron some breathing space. Didn't work out so well for them. I really dislike the Bruins and their dirty tricks: - put our best shutdown defender in the box - If that doesn't work, give him some stick in the face.... - give our goalie some stick in the eye.... - some one else got some stick in the face as well, i think stetcher?Virtenan? and no penalties on these stick infractions. Makes one wonder, does it not? I am just super stoked that the Nucks kicked their BUTT in spite of dirty tricks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Bo knows how to lead! I was hoping for a Gordie Howe hat trick hat trick! If Myers had scored and if Erikkson had fought we would've! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
