Hat Tricks

I was at Game 2. Ovechkin got a hat trick. It was amazing. You can see about 1/4 of the hats thrown onto the ice in that picture up there.

From Puck Daddy:

Crosby, ever the competitor, had seen enough of the celebration, and skated to the referee as head gear hit the ice.

"People kept throwing hats. I was just asking if he could make an announcement to ask them to stop. The first wave came, and then I think they were all pretty much picked up, and more started coming," Crosby said after the game. "I just wanted to make sure that we kept kind of moving, kept the game going while we tried to get back into it. Wasn't complaining about anything."

He seems awfully quick to point out that he wasn't whining. (He was.)

Cindy Crysby Sidney Crosby also got a hat trick that night (on crappy rebound goals, mind you). When Crosby got his, a hilarious grand total of two (2) hats were thrown onto the ice, both from right behind the Penguins' bench.
