All three hat-tricks in a same game. | HFBoards - NHL Message Board and Forum for National Hockey League

All three hat-tricks in a same game.

Thread premise is phony. A natural hat-trick is per definition a hat-trick, so there's nothing extra to add there. Why not add "three goals" to the mix while we're at it?

Milan Lucic scored a natural hat-trick, a hat-trick and three goals! A three dimensional hat-trick!
 
Lucic's hattrick is special, because, as we all know, during a game, the second goal is RARELY scored between the first goal and the third goal. Lucic just did that, so he's definitely going in the annals of the sport.

Fair argument. How about this way....who was the last player who achieved both "natural hat-trick" and "Gordie Howe hat-trick" in a same NHL game?

A so called Gordie Howe hattrick is a goal, an assist and a fight. Lucic did not register an assist, so no Gordie Howe hattrick.

A Lucic-trick.
 
Here are all the guys since 87-88 who have scored a hat trick and have added at least 1 assist and 5 PIMs in the same game.

So the ones that can be estimated to be so (PIM counts in favour of deciding that a fighting major has been awarded to a player):

Joe Thornton, January 5, 2002
Jeremy Roenick, February 24, 1994
Cam Neely, February 4, 1988
Dave Hannan, January 5, 1988
Paul Coffey, January 20, 1988
