About those hat tricks

I was just thinking about how odd this seems: Last year, when the Stars were as good as they were, I only remember one hat trick (by Niklas Hagman in Brad Richards' debut last Feb. 28). This season, with the Stars struggling, there are now three players who have tallied hat tricks for this group: Fabian Brunnstrom, Mark Parrish and now Loui Eriksson.

Just interesting.
