2004-05 Cornell hat tricks

Cornell doesn't get to three goals (team total) a game all that often, so this could be tough: What are the chances Moulson, Knoepfli, Scott, somebody, anybody, gets a hat trick in the last reamaining games of the year?

We had three last year including Ryan Vesce's seven-point game in the 7-0 win at Princeton (also Moulson, Knoepfli), one hat trick the year before (Moulson), then nothing until back in the 1998-99 season. [slack.net]

Five of the last 11 to do it were freshmen. Go, Topher!

Personally, I don't care. Just win, baby!

I don't care either, but I'm gonna put my money on Hynes if anyone is to do it. He is going to bust out any game now.

And the most unlikely player on that list? Geoff Lopatka, hands down.

I will always remember the picture from the Sun of Lopatka, post overtime game-winner, skating away from the goal crouched, as if playing a guitar with his stick. He had a nasty wrister that he would unleash after using a defenseman as a screen. He scored his shortie at Placid against Harvard in '96 using it, as I remember. Still, he was no natural goal-scorer.

That type of wrister, one of Moulson's many facets, is something that other guys on the team could stand to develop. Takes some puck handling skill and a quick release. Hey, McCutcheon, I'm talking to you, pay attention!
