zetterbergfan 23 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) He's the man!!! (Article will contain more detail shortly!!!) A Natural: Zetterberg’s First Career HAT TRICK! Zetterbergfan.com, February 17, 2007 Henrik Zetterberg is on a hot streak! Tonight, in the desert, he was on fire, bagging his first career hat trick and adding an assist for the Detroit Red Wings in their 4-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes. The natural hat trick came on three consecutive power-play goals. Zetterberg’s first power-play goal of the game gave the Wings a 1-0 lead half-way through the second period. Seven minutes and thirty-one seconds later Zata got his second goal, making it a 2-0 game. The goal ended up being the game-winner. Henrik scored his third consecutive goal of the game, again on the power-play at 15:36 of the third period, giving him the “natural†hat trick, his first ever. The tally was his team-leading 30th goal of the season. Zetterberg got his helper on Jason Williams empty-net goal with just eleven seconds left in the game, making it his third four-point game of the season. Henrik has been on an amazing run lately, scoring or assisting on all eight of the Red Wings goals during the three-game road trip. He has 11 goals and 13 assists for 24 points in the past 10 games, putting him on pace for a career-high 41 goals and 46 assists this season.

Legendary D In 03 50 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 It's not a natural. It was interrupted by a Phoenix goal and by an intermission. Word, LDi03 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flip-check 6 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Z is our Plan B. I'm glad he's hot lately though. If he keeps this up, the nhl will be forced to pay attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 It's all about Henrik Selke-berg. I spent the whole day driving around Michigan and Windsor with my dad...running errands. And the whole day I was trying to get him to come to the Hank Camp. My sister is in the Pasha Camp. By the end of the day as we were settling down to watch the game I could feel that he was almost convinced of my argument...and then Henrik's Magic Act ensued and now my dad's wholeheartedly convinced that Zata's the next Stevie and he's the absolute cornerstone of this franchise. Yeah...I did good. Anyway, congratulations to Henrik Zetterberg on his first hat trick...here's to MANY more behind the winged wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Word, LDi03 Correct me if I am wrong, but a Natural hat trick can be interrupted by an intermission. I thought if one player scores three straight goals for his team, its a natural.

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong, but a Natural hat trick can be interrupted by an intermission. I thought if one player scores three straight goals for his team, its a natural. Mike Zigomanis scored in between his second and third goal... thus, the hat trick was not natural. There must be no goals interrupting the three, by his team or the opposition. Intermissions don't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotzman 29 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong, but a Natural hat trick can be interrupted by an intermission. I thought if one player scores three straight goals for his team, its a natural. But there was a goal by Phoenix at the beginning of the 3rd... 2 - 1 He would have had to score 3 before the other team for it to be a "natural" hat-trick. Not sure about the intermission thing... Either way, Z is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zetterbergfan 23 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Huh... I've been a hockey (and Wings fan) for about 25 years now, and I guess I learned something new today. I thought I was right on this one. I know I heard the announcers call it a natural hat trick on the radio coverage. Guess they aren't sure on the rule either. But, I like to be accurate on my website, so I will correct it on the polished version of my article. Thanks for the back-up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zetterbergfan 23 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 New and improved... Henrik Zetterberg is on a hot streak! Tonight, in the desert, he was on fire, bagging his first career hat trick and adding an assist for the Detroit Red Wings in their 4-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes. The hat trick came on three consecutive power-play goals. Zetterberg’s first power-play goal of the game gave the Wings a 1-0 lead half-way through the second period. Mathieu Schneider made a nice back-handed pass from near the blue line to Zetterberg, who fired a wrist shot from the center of the right face-off circle and past Phoenix’s Swedish goalie Michael Tellqvist, who was screened by fellow Swede Tomas Holmstrom. Seven minutes and thirty-one seconds later Zata got what appeared to be his second goal, making it a 2-0 game. Schneider took a slap shot from the point and Zetterberg jammed the rebound under Tellqvist. The official motioned no goal and play continued for another minute. However, after reviewing the play it was determined that the puck had crossed the line, and the goal counted. The goal ended up being the game-winner. Henrik scored his third consecutive goal of the game, again on the power-play at 15:36 of the third period. Pavel Datsyuk set up the play, cutting into the slot and dishing the puck to Hank who was streaking in towards the crease from the right face-off circle. He knocked it in for his team-leading 30th goal of the season and first career hat trick. Zetterberg got his helper on Jason Williams empty-net goal with just eleven seconds left in the game, making it his third four-point game of the season. Henrik has been on an amazing run lately, scoring or assisting on all eight of the Red Wings goals during the three-game road trip.
