'Guess The Hat Trick' Contest

PrintDespite leading the League in goals and having more individual player two-goal games than any other team in the League (and by miles), the Caps are still looking for their first hat trick of the season.
That's where you come in: guess the player, game/date and time of the Caps' first hattie and win a prize - it's that simple.
Here's how to enter:
- Provide your guess in the comments to this post as follows: "Player, date, time of the game." Make sure to pick a game day and use time elapsed in the game for your time (for example, if you think A.O. will turn the trick with 7:04 left in the third period tomorrow night, your entry should read "Alex Ovechkin, January 21, 52:56").
The criteria to determine the winner are given in the order in which you're providing your guesses (i.e. player first, then date, then time), and Price Is Right rules apply (i.e. closest without going over). Only your first entry in the comments will count, and the winning entry will have to be submitted prior to the opening face off of the game in which the hat trick is completed. If for some reason two people submit the same entry, and it wins, the earlier submission wins.
Got it? Good.
Oh yeah, you want to know about the prize, don't you? How about a Matt Bradley autographed puck... because everyone #needsmorebradleyswag.
Good luck.

Really, Semin against CAR? Too easy.
Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
If it was that easy, he’d have already done it.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
He was probably shaken up by the Clark trade that day — like the rest of the team
Rocking the Red since 1975
Maybe, but that wasn’t the first Carolina game this year. Of course, I’d have to look to see if he actually played in the others.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
Hey if it doesn’t happen in 10 days, that weeds out like a third of the picks.

and the winning entry will have to be made before the hat trick is completed.
May I suggest changing this to “winning entry will have to be made before the puck drops in the game containing the hat trick”? Otherwise, a pretty big loophole is created.

You know, not to go OT here, but it’s pretty crazy to think that this team leads the league in GF by 14 and not a single player has recorded a hat trick this late in the season. The fact that people think that this team is a one man show is mind boggling.
Pretty sure they lead in multi-goal games by a player as well. Bind Moggling.

There’s no way to say it that isn’t confusing. Let me try again: Games in which one player scores multiple goals.

But it’s not just the count of the games. We had 2 players have multi-goal games in a single game before.

I’m not sure, I know it’s lower level, penalty box side, like 5 rows from the ice. My friend got the tickets for free, so I didn’t even ask, just flying in on the 31st.
Я Харт не так ли?
I’ll be over in Loge 5. I live up here now and there were quite a few Caps fans representing during the season opener. Second most common Caps jersey I saw then: Poti.
I’ll probably wear my lucky Mike Green jersey. My friend will probably wear my Backstrom one.
I was thinking about making a sign for warm-ups, but have since decided against it. It was going to read, “Green – did you pack your stack of ones?” But then I remembered I was female and that probably wouldn’t look too good.
i dont see a problem…. whats the difference from all the ladies who hole signs that say “marry me x”
Well it kinda makes it sound like I want his stack of ones. Like I’m a stripper or you know general puck bunny. I don’t want to lose my Rink Rabbit status.
Getting ones from Greener does not negate Rink Rabbit status. It could in fact possibly enhance it.

Awesome! I was going to do a fanpost and see who all was going up. It’s my first Caps road trip. I only decided to go because I have friends in Boston, so I have a free place to stay.
That’s cool. I went to Boston in ’08, the game Pothier got the concussion. It was fun cause that was my first road game, but we lost 2-0.
My friend was living down here and then he moved up there so I figured I’d go up, stay a little while and Rock the Red in the process.

Funny—saw some reports in Pittsburgh media that the Pens are going after Whitney as well. My money is that he winds up on a Western Conference squad that needs a second-line scoring winger like LA or perhaps even Nashville.
Yeah, the rumors say that. I don’t know how true it is, if at all.
But Whitney’s always killed the Pens, and it seemed like everyone on the Caps had already been taken for every combination of date and time elapsed, so I decided to throw in a semi-serious wildcard.
Besides, I’m serious about still being a Matt Bradley fan even though he hasn’t been a Penguin in ages.

Does the Rink get any bragging rights or anything for # of unique accounts posting to it?

I almost picked that game too.
Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
I figure at home he’s going to get away from Niedermayer quite a bit. The rest of the Ducks D has been less than inspiring. I like this game’s odds.

Thats the game I wanted to pick also, because of the ducks being something like 25th in GAA. But since it’s game two of a back to back, I just couldn’t see the offense really showing up.

BTW, are Ovechkin, Clark, and Semin the only Caps to have hatties since the end of the lockout?

Rough Tally
Rough tally of who the folks here think might score a hat trick (Not an official count, as it’s just a count of the names — postseason guesses included. Also, I might have missed a couple of nicknames.)

Brooks Laich: 4

If they did, we’d have two hatties by now. Both Ovi and Semin had games this year where they scored 2 goals and one shootout goal.

capsfan75, feel free to assume the commenters here are knowledgeable and have been watching the games. i don’t know what ExPatCapFan could have possibly been referring to except the ovechkin/semin “hat tricks” when fans tossed hats on the ice.

The commentators here are knowledgable. I assume ExPatCapsFan was referring to the Caps game where they threw hats on the ice for Ovi’s shootout goal when he had had two goals already.

Hey I love you guys! Natty thanks for the backup, CapsFan75 thanks for the clarification. I admit sometimes my attempts at humor are taken too seriously. Probably my Northern Irish background. Lets all just relish this morning’s thrashing of the Pens!

He’s been quiet putting them in the back of the net, but I think that will come to an end tonight against the pens. I think he’ll have 2 and 1 tonight, and he’ll finish the month with 79 points.
Damnit I'm good.
If I’m as good with calling hatties I’ll have some Bradley Schwag headed my way.

- on the 31st against Tampa at 26:20. Bad blood + bad team + home game = Ovie hat trick by the 2nd period
