Today we have a little something about hat tricks.  When this guy retired, he left with the record for most hat tricks.  Obviously that has been blown off the hinges since but here we give some considerable respect to a guy who simply was a hell of a hockey player.  This moment happened 32 years ago and again here it is without further adieu.
