Sidney Crosby Hat Trick on Hat Night! [11-28-09]

UPDATE:
Cooke suspended 2 games; Avery gets nothing. It's a good thing Bettman is behind all this and will do whatever it takes to help the Pens out...oh wait.
Sidney Crosby and the Pens with a HUGE night!
-5 point night for Crosby and the HT of course
-Almost everyone back in the lineup
-8 goals against the Rags
-Fleury's Birthday
-Hits and fights
-AND we get to do it all again on Monday
I don't think they had even mentioned Hat Night OR the fact that Crosby had two goals...
But I saw the hats on people's heads right from the start of the game since they were white, and when the Pens went on a long PP, it was only a matter of time until Crosby put in the 3rd goal! WOOOO!!! It was so awesome to see the hats raining down!
The fans were awesome as usual. Chants of "Go home Rangers!" and "Happy Birthday!" started in the last few minutes. Great stuff to hear.
GO PENS!

Moments like this are just icing on the cake for legendary players. Crosby has won pretty much everything there is to win in hockey. I know it's kind of corny, but legends get remembered for coming up big in these kind of moments.

[@hectorgibbs9646]

And that was the last hat night ever in Pittsburgh

[@jtrautman1011]

hector gibbs They just had one tonight and another hat trick occurred

[@die4ever8]

Y’all got to be trolling right. 😭

[@synergygaming65]

Sid has that unique look when he skates that all the players wore the same jersey number and same equipment you could still identify him out there.

[@lucysnow1851]

Besides game 7 this is my fave Pens game! Sid is an amazing leader, a cup, a gold medal, art ross, hart who could ask for anything more? Get well soon we miss you!

[@JohnM-sw4sc]

What a career it turned out to be all these years later!

[@CrosbyMalkinTalbot]

I still have this game on my DVR along with many others (game 7 against Washington 5/13/09, games 2 and 4 against Carolina for the perfect sweep, and game 7 on June 12, 2009.) Happiness is Sidney Crosby's smile!!!! But what I really love is when the two-headed monster comes alive like in the Phoenix/Pittsburgh game on 12/20/10.

[@liftcarry123]

thats a lot of hats

[@hckycpa20]

that's a lot of fish

[@Forzaabruzzo]

Sid's season really took off after this game...

[@lucysnow1851]

You can hear Sid shout at Malkin on that second goal for the puck when he sees that empty net! This was a really fun game to watch, seeing all those hats reign down from the upper levels was really cool. Near the end of the game when it was clear that the Pens were going to win, Sean Avery went beserk shouting at the Pens bench.

[@jmstransit]

2:12 “They’re gonna have to have another hat night” lmao

[@Hail2Pitt412]

I believe it was! Show's how tough the Rangers really are!

[@whoisjaaxn2587]

I was at this game, my dad still has the hat lol. Only guy in the arena not to throw it I swear

[@error9900]

That 3rd goal was pretty slick.

[@lisameyer]

look out hockey world- our beloved sidney is catching fire! gawd i love him! dec. is going to be memorable! LETS GO PENS!

[@METX611]

Now that's a great way to cheer on your team! Good sports and good goals from Sid!

[@alexgammino]

Sidney Cros-BEAST

[@warriorspanthersblackhawks4651]

I was there Lol one of the greatest games I've ever witnessed

[@T0mat0_S0up]

Warriors, Panthers, Blackhawks, Yankees fan. Did you hop off the bandwagon?

[@ramanaforrester3884]

7-3 final god i love you

[@MrHockeygod88]

I WAS AT THAT GAME WITH MY DAD !! :D HATS KEPT FLYING OVER OUR HEADS :p

[@kornhubx7233]

lucky

[@finksc]

I don't even like Crosby, but that third goal was just sick. I hope in time he can develop into the great leader he's capable of being and quit whining so much! sooooo many hats!

[@1234candy1000]

Even if you don't like Sidney he is still a really good hockey player!

[@NoNoDigUpStupid]

funny when you hear someone yell "back door!" once sid is completely open on the backdoor play for his third goal on the PP

[@wkrausmann]

Just because they are on other teams doesn't mean they are washed up. Jagr is still in the top 15 in the NHL for goals, assists and points. Most of those were from when he was in Pittsburgh. He plays for a Russian league now. The only former Penguin playing for the Rangers now is Rosival and he still ain't too shabby. I still have respect for our former Pens no matter what team they are on.

[@PerogieBoy714]

nice goals sid, keep up the hard work and we willl keep the stanley cup another year.

[@wingking077]

yeah baby!!!! look at those hats!

[@CyaPlayer16]

this is why crosby is the best player in the NHL

[@baseballdood25]

looks like someone was watching some Joe Sakic highlights on that last goal.

[@jlee222ballin]

now that is what i call a TRUE hat trick

[@GameShowMike]

Prior to this, the last Penguins hat trick on hat night came on March 10, 2001 against the Calgary Flames (Jaromir Jagr). I happened to be at that hat night with my dad in 2001.

[@ProductionsJoe]

Welcome back Sid.

[@PensFanE17]

It will be a real interesting race out of the Atlantic. The Kovy trade was a huge boost for you guys, I'm hoping the Pens make a deal for a guy like Ray Whitney that can help with the power play.

[@aint_seb]

Sid should score more goals like that :( the 1st goal was AWESOME

[@yorkieluverr101]

IT'S RAINING HATS HALIEUA

[@mitchcrosby7204]

I was at that game! Drove 12 hours to Pitt just to be see the Pens

[@JCMoney]

At least they can do another Hat Night on the cheap now. ;-)

[@theONEshot17]

i was at this game such a great night

[@BrettFisher86]

I was at this game. Outstanding!

[@iseejenn]

I now know how much pressure is on the goalies.

[@Marciniakx5]

I was there. it was almost like it was snowing.

[@avschase]

@baseballdood25 haha true man. Are you talking about the Joe Sakic goal in the 2001 stanley cup?

[@killertim101]

They will probably be used for another free hat night since they were the hats from the promotion , but a normal hat trick night, teams usually put the hats on display in the stadium , well at least the Wells Fargo center does.

[@TheRealTrentPorter]

It was a good night to sit in the front section. You could throw your hat and then get one back for all the ones not reaching the ice

[@Chuddlers]

Gosh Crosby I miss you! Not to mention Goligoski too

[@gzech7]

Was it just me or did it seem like Valiquette was looking up before Crosby let the shot go on his third? lol he saw who it was and just went 'oh no'

[@Snipefest23]

love all the crosby haters. jealousy hurts guys. hands down best player in the world. name one thing to not prove that.

[@mase5701]

@WahooWa1819 THANK YOU. Its nice to see non-fans give due credit. I am a Pens fan, therefore I must hate Ovechkin, but he makes some sick plays gets some sick goals and I give credit when owed. Its hard to give the rangers anything in this game, but hopefully we'll see them in the playoffs this year.

[@hanjie]

that was great

[@pghsportsgirl72]

@GameShowMike I remember that game. If I remember right the hats were solid yellow. I remember them interviewing Jagr & Lemieux after the game and Jagr seeming genuinely happy for the first time in forever, only a few months removed from Lemieux's comeback. Of course 3 months later...

[@mase5701]

@WahooWa1819 yeah, I agree somewhat with what you say, but not really lately. He has definitely toned it down, and matured greatly since his rookie year. Also, as captain, its his job to complain to refs about bad calls. I think its great to have players like Crosby, Malkin Ovechkin (and a few others) in the league today. Its this high class talent that will be the only reason if hockey ever gets back to being on national tv more than just one night a week on versus.

[@Hail2Pitt412]

Even more whenever he gets 5 points against your team & 3 goals against your goalie.

[@FacebookMeOnMyspace]

haha wow thats alotta lids...atta baby sid

[@3027Ani]

so cool

[@Hail2Pitt412]

He won't need to! Cause Batman will be too worried on keeping you guys from keeping knocked into next week!

[@lucysnow1851]

Tell me about it! It's been so long since we've seen a game with Sid. Can't wait for next season!

[@lmTibzy]

lol i was at this game, my first nhl game i go to, sid the kid gets a hattrick on flurys b-day

[@materializze]

EPIC.

[@Sinsemilla4u]

You do realize that while Malkin was out, there were a ton of other injuries too right? Talbot (out from offseason surgery), Gonchar, Kennedy, Letang, Orpik, Gologoski, McKee, Kunitz...most were on defense, but a lot of defensemen who help a lot in assists and scoring. Of course he had a few bad games with all those people out lol.

[@lucysnow1851]

@AGreatDayForHockey87 Cant wait for New Years! It's going to be amazingl!

[@Livestronghockey]

Sid is the best. Watch livestronghockey.

[@sidneycrosbyfan1000]

go pens sid all the way

[@sidneycrosbyfan1000]

CROSBY RULES

[@hoovergaming]

i was there and i threw my hat

[@TheExplodingcarrot]

at 1:50 it looks like sid sniped the goalie in the face haha

[@ts15210]

I went to a game where kevin stevens had a hat trick on hat night, I kept the hat

[@Crosbyx333]

sid is amazing! go pens :D

[@scroogemcduck3446]

Hockey is the greatest sport!

[@GrandFunker]

When is "dozen egg night"?

[@White87FC]

wooooooooooooo

[@Hail2Pitt412]

i couldn't agree more! Maybe while you guys go around hitting everyone, we'll be scoring goals! Being Physical doesn't do anything. Its a mental game. Besides you do know you guys to actually shoot the puck and score to win? Not cheap shot the other team. What does Brashear think he is? Mike Tyson?

[@Schefers1]

Skip to 1:48 to see it rain hats.

[@JustinMullally]

Why does this video make 2009 look like 1988

[@MnChackz]

I wanna ask an NHL player how hard it was to play against the penguins in 2009

[@ricculus]

Because the caps blow.

[@PerogieBoy714]

@lucysnow1851 i got to go to my 1st pens game this season, ended up goin to 2 more. no crosby or malkin for all 3 games..

[@GameShowMike]

And Stephen Valliquette just lost his liquor license!

[@glettnile2603]

My uncle swears to Jesus his hat was the first on the ice

[@maddogmatt44]

nice! would that happen if a goalie got one? lol

[@Hail2Pitt412]

Why do you say that? What's Henrik going to do? Let us take the win like we did last year against him in the playoffs? Sure they're going to be worried about a goalie who fails to show up when they need him

[@joshuaneal7552]

I hate Crosby, but scoring a hat trick on hat night is pretty sick.

[@MrSouthphillyitalian]

How Bout Those Flyers !!!!

[@tromedl]

@TheHardstylevideo But his facial expression in the end looks a bit like he was tempted to do just that...

[@NickPerryman18]

@NarcoticSinner ovechkin was two years older though, 20 if a big difference then 18, I still disagree with the award for that reason.

[@eds9101]

Anyone that doesn't like Sid is just a hater, this from a Sabres fan.

[@jackjonzon9049]

go Canada

[@Hail2Pitt412]

PENGUINS WIN!!!!!!

[@dldetwi]

Yeah it's Brashear's job to let Cooke know that he's got it coming and send a message. But that doesn't mean that Cooke has to answer to a guy who's got 4 or 5 inches and about 40 pounds on him. That's why Callahan ended up fighting him. Have you ever played hockey?

[@dldetwi]

I didn't say the team had nothing to do with it. If anything, you're the one who suggested the importance of individual player statistics. I just added the more important statistic. BTW, why do people like you even click on a video of Crosby getting a hat trick if you don't like the guy and you're just going to bash him? I'm thinking it's some kind of weird obsessive thing.

[@dave1927p]

good thing they weren't hard hats like in calgary :)

[@dldetwi]

Because Brashear's a heavyweight and Cooke's not. It's hockey law. If Cooke would have cheap shotted Brashear, that's one thing, but if he cheap shots someone else, he only deserves to answer to some his size.

[@dldetwi]

Ovechkin: 0 stanley cups Crosby: 1 stanley cup

[@F82M4yvr]

actually no i wasn't i was watching the leafs get their asses handed to them again cause it's funny to watch. i'm not a caps fan either btw. and great crosby has had 2 good games, he did fuck all while malkin was out now that he's back crosby is heating up

[@White87FC]

This game ended Valiquettes NHL career. Hasn't played a game since.

[@Osfan07]

Didn't hear him bitch about those hats like he did when Ovi got his in the Playoffs. Wonder why?

[@aavikings18]

every one is so jelous of crosby

[@FeelinGoode]

Too bad he was injured this playoffs.

[@Twan277]

@162sbombs actually he is he best player on the team.....i say he is the best in the league

[@F82M4yvr]

the penguins won the cup actually, not just crosby. one player doesn't win you a cup

[@trexgoesmoo]

awesomeness. and when did ice girls turn into old men lol

[@danman745]

put the fans in the penalty box for delay of game

[@JohnnyFilth30]

why are the Crosby haters even looking at this video to begin with? strange..... lol Go Pens and Keep the stick hot sid lol

[@theoldboy70]

Laundry day!
