habscout Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) I just discovered that Robert Lang's hat trick in Wednesday's game against the New York Rangers, was only the 3rd time in Canadiens' history that a player scored a power play, shorthanded and even strength goal. The other two players were Maurice Richard (20/3/48) and Bobby Rousseau (23/3/68). Edited January 9, 2009 by habscout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I also think it was one of only 5 hat tricks scored entirely in the 3rd period in Habs history... the last being Vinny Damphousse. Pretty unique hat trick for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 And it's probably one of the few times we've scored 3 hat tricks in such a short span - under 10 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMPL Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I wonder if Richard and Rosseau did it in one period? Maybe he is the first NHLer ever to do it in one period?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) I heard Lang scored with his wife after the game, that would make it 4... Insane night for him! Edited January 10, 2009 by JoeLassister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
