Gordie Howe Hat-Trick

I remember reading that Gordie Howe himself never had a "Gordie Howe hat-trick". Is this true or a myth? (Or possibly unable to confirm due to lack of detailed stats?)

Even if Howe did score a goal and an assist and get into a fight in the a single game, I feel a more appropriate definition for a G.H.H. would be a goal, assist and elbow. Penalty needed for historical proof, but he likely got away with more than he was punished for.

Howe was a master with the elbow. To paraphrase Denzel Washington in Training Day: "Dusty Rhodes and The Rock ain't got shit on Gordie!"

Anyhoo...

NHL video review, or lack thereof

In the aftermath of a blatantly obvious non-penalty and this part of the November 1, 2014 "Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down" TSN column by Dave Hodge ...


Hodge: Thumbs up to Kings' Sutter, down to NHL video review

... My thumb is down to the NHL for its stubborn failure to include some
sort of coach's challenge in its video review process. Two things that
happened this week made it even harder for the NHL to avoid the
inevitable. In Washington on Wednesday, Detroit's Luke Glendening was
penalized for goalie interference and a Detroit goal was wiped out. The
goal should have counted because Glendening was completely innocent on a
play that saw Caps goalie Braden Holtby fall down. It was as simple as
that and a second look based on a coach's challenge would have lasted
five seconds. ...

My comment on NHL video review/"coach's" challenge" for penalties is awaiting moderation at the moment ...
