Dutch Gretzky Gordie Howe Hat Trick

Dutch Gretzky had a Gordie Howe hat trick in his first game against the Bruins since the handshake incident with the Bruins last playoffs.

It started with a fight against Gregory Campbell, who wasn't happy with a hit from Weise. Later in the game Weise forced a turn over that led to being tripped up on the way to the net, resulting in a penalty shot and goal. He sets up Pacioretti for a one timer to get the assist later in the second period.

Never liked the Weise trade. I am happy for him doing so well in Montreal but I think it was plain to see the guy brought a lot to the team.

As long as he keep stickin it to the Bruins though, Montreal is probably the best place to do just that :P

Wicked, I never even knew he was Dutch. I like the Dutch Gretzky Gordie How Hat Trick!

The nickname pertains to the time during the lockout tearing up the Dutch leagues in Europe. Instead of going to play in a more competitive league, he chose to play in a league where he could dominate. He basically set a ton of scoring records in the limited time he played there. So for that, he is called the Dutch Gretzky, for his status as the best player to ever play in the Dutch leagues (if even only for a short while).
