THe Rocket and those who lead in Hat Tricks in Montreal Canadiens History
The Hat Trick is a phenomenal thing to watch unfold and the Rocket has the most in Montreal Canadiens history. It takes a lot of talent, some luck and being a darn good player to do it several times in one's career. To so so in the playoffs repeatedly is even more spectacular. The same great Canadiens player who leads the regular season lifetime totals also leads the post-season totals with 8!
