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...
