Define "Natural Hat Trick"
Curious what the Dobber Community thinks on this one. Last night after Jordan Eberle had his first ever NHL hat trick I got in a somewhat heated argument over the term "natural hat trick" and what it means. Please vote without googling interested more so in "common knowledge" than in what the dictionary has to say.
Is a "natural hat trick"
a) 3 goals scored by one player;
b) 3 goals scored by one player in a row with no goals scored by either team in between;
c) 3 goals scored by one player in a period; or
d) 3 goals scored by one player all on a goaltender (no empty netters allowed).
If something else all together feel free to add.
I'll post my pick and arguments later.
Also for the grammar people is it "hattrick" "hat-trick" or "hat trick" ??

Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
Natural hat trick is 3 goals scored by a player at 5 on 5.
No PP, no SHG, no empty net, no penatly shots.
To clarify, by 5 on 5, I should say even strength.

Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
I was always lead to believe it was in the same period (c). However, ive also heard referenced to 3 in a row for YOUR TEAM, regardless of how many the other team score between...

Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
3 in a row
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
this is what i've always thought. doesn't matter how long it takes, doesnt matter if it was ES/PP/SH/Empty netter, as long as you scored 3 consecutive goals in the same game.Originally Posted by CascadeFilly
is there a correct answer? i'm curious now.
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
I didn't think PP or PK mattered. 3 consecutive goals.
Wikipedia agrees lol
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
hmm I guess I'm wrong, but what makes it "natural" then?
Wouldn't 3 consecutive just be an "unanswered" hat trick or something like that?

Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
I always thought a 'Natural Hat Trick' was three goals without any PP, SH, EN goals.
I read or was told somewhere that it is actually three uninterrupted goals in a single period.
In short. I'm confused.
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
I thought it was 3 goals on 3 consecutive shots. There is no basis for that assumption.
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
Well now I'm curious. Has that EVER been accomplished?
Best I've found is Bill Mosienko who scored 3 goals in 21 seconds all at even strength. There must be a decent chance that no other shots were taken.
Next closest is Beliveau with 44 seconds, but all on 2-man advantages.
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
a natural hat-trick is 3 goals scored without anyone else scoring in-between. EV/SH/PP/EN doesn't matter, number of shots doesn't matter, number of periods doesn't matter (as long as it's the same game).
Re: Define "Natural Hat Trick"
I've always understood it to be (b) three goals in a row by a given individual. I've never heard of any caveats regarding even-strength, power-play, empty net, etc.

3 goals in a row by a player not using PED's (Natural).....
