I've heard it mentioned by commentators during several NHL games. Always sounds a bit odd and flowery but kind of makes sense in the context used.

I've definitely heard of the Gordie Howe Hattrick before - almost certainly must have been coined while he was still playing, so it's been around awhile.  Pretty funny, IMHO...

But seriously, has anyone ever heard a commentator use the phrase "dipsy-doodle?"

Amazingly, the ESPN play-by-play guy used the phrase a minute ago to describe a move by a Black Hawk forward in tonight's game with the Wings. ::nut::

i SAW that game!  it was in a bar, so i couldn't hear, but hey.

how crazy was that game?  i felt like each team needed to be shorthanded in order to dominate play... but i concede, that's from sporatic viewing...

now i'm waiting for someone to tell me they heard "the cherry picker just peeled the banana, then blew a tire."

blew a tire.

It's too late for that phrase... in any context :-P.
