In Friday night's game between the Comets and the Thistles, Comets star Frank McGee scored twice in the first period, and I thought we might get our first-ever hat trick. The hockey gods were against him, however, as he missed the entire third period with an injury.
In the very next game, Cyclone Taylor of the Vics scored twice in the first against the Bulldogs, so there was another great chance for a hat trick. By the late second period, the Vics were cruising at 4-0, until the Dogs' George Richardson buried a goal at the buzzer to make it 4-1. The third period featured an insane barrage against Vics' goaltender Bowse Hutton. Taylor netted his third goal of the game -- making history with the league's first hat trick -- and that tally stood up as the game-winner in a wild 5-4 finish.
Taylor is now tied with McGee and the Bulldogs' Gord Roberts for the league lead with 6 goals, and he leads all skaters in points with 16. Remarkably, he has yet to take even a single minor penalty!
