This is a really trivial thing that I don't normally concern myself with, but for whatever reason, I am curious.
I'd like to know when all Gordie Howe Hat Tricks happened, so that I can look into them and see if there are any interesting things to take from them.
The first that comes to mind is, out of the hundreds that have occurred over the years, how many were "Natural Gordie Howe Hat Tricks" where the three events all came in a row, unbroken by other goals or fights.
Is there an easy way to compile this info? Apparently it is known that Rick Tocchet is the leader with 18 all-time. Someone had to have figured that out somehow.
