I'm very happy that PL added 3 goals to his totals last night and it was by definition a hat-trick as he did score 3 goals but one was into an empty net when the game was out of reach and it had little if any impact on the outcome.
I am all for celebrating such achievements but one has to put things into perspective as the third goal was not scored wit ha goalie in the net.
Agree or disagree???

I'm pretty sure Wayne Gretzky scored his 500th goal into an empty net is that not an accomplishment because there was no goalie?

Disagree, a goal is a goal.

The defending team made the choice to pull their goalie.

I rank by natural, regular and empty net. All 3 are hat tricks, but the natural is sexiest.

I guess when I see the talking heads on tv rant and rave about the empty net goals it bugs me unless it is a great defensive play that leads to it and actually seals the deal for the team that scores it. I would have been just as impressed with Laine scoring 2 goals considering he scored the winning goal. |
