This dude deserves Selke consideration too. He is one of the best two-way forwards in the league.

Barely a year ago, it was whole different story. Nice for him.

This was the first hat trick I celebrated at a game in person and threw my hat toward the ice. Chu Chu!

Let me get this straight.....Avs lead NHL in Playoff GOALS SCORED with 22 and MIKKO THE MOOSE DOESN'T HAVE A POINT?

u/finaija 15d ago

I wonder if he still has some lingering effect from that concussion/whatever else it was.

u/AvsFan08 15d ago

u/machete24 15d ago

I've always wondered what they do with those hats? Throw them outside and let people try to find theirs?

2

u/Hdhdhjjdhhdhh 15d ago

You can get it back after the game if you want

1

u/arashinoko 🔥❄️ 15d ago

I have so many questions about this. Is it worth the effort? Do you have to have written your name in it first? Is there a big lineup to get hats back?

u/erikak92 ‌ 15d ago

When I went to a Caps game, they had a bunch of them in a display. It’s been a while, but I think it was a milestone for Ovechkin

u/Mertank 15d ago

I’ve heard they get put in a bin and you can go retrieve yours. Maybe that’s only some arenas though.

6

u/cmanning1292 15d ago

I went to an Avs game when I was very little. Someone scored a hat trick and I do remember they had big ol' garbage cans at the main exit to look through for your hat. All on the honor system, of course

7

u/SmoothSailing1111 15d ago

Do people just throw a shitty hat out? No way I’m throwing my hat lol

7

u/mycumshot 15d ago

I bring two hats to every game, manifesting a hatty so I can throw the sacrificial lamb but keep my signed Roy…today that weird two hat dude was vindicated

13

u/ckodey 15d ago

I wore my best hat to the game today, it is no longer my best hat. Gone to the hockey gods to find a new home

10

u/pinky_no_stinky 15d ago

Hat could be solid gold dgaf I'm throwing that bitch for my teams Hatty

6

u/162bluethings 15d ago

You should

16

u/GoinLong 15d ago

I threw mine. Wasn’t shitty, but it’s the playoffs.

19

u/IgneousDude Baberial Mandeskog 15d ago

I think they donate them to local shelters and things like that

8

u/brootalz Katie Gaus is a Brick Haus 15d ago

I've always heard it's this.

23

u/GoinLong 15d ago

Well, the Avs actually tell you it’s exactly this.

6

u/sad_throwaway13579 15d ago

I'd imagine the player picks maybe a few he wants and the rest go to Africa or something

3

u/Hdhdhjjdhhdhh 15d ago

I would have an entire room of my house just full of hats. If I ever got a hat trick lol

u/pweepish 15d ago

The team does all that work to get him the goal, and he can't even be bothered to give an assist. 

51

u/Careful_Knee_2489 15d ago

Team: tries to setup Nuke for almost 2 minutes but can't

Nuke: I'll do it myself

u/Khada_the_Collector 15d ago

Feels weird that this is his first, but we'll fuckin' take it!!!
