If you read the headline and aren't a hockey fan, you might be asking yourself, "What the heck is the Gordie Howe hat trick"?
Please allow us to explain...
Evander Kane of the Winnipeg Jets (former Atlanta Thrashers) started his night in Pittsburgh with a 2nd period fight, followed it with an assist and ended it with a goal. It wasn't enough as the Penguins got the win in an overtime shootout.
It was named after hockey legend Gordie Howe who did the same, quite often, back in hockey's rough and tumble past.
Your fight:
We'll skip the assist and go straight to the goal, which was Kane's first of the year and the 100th of his career:

OSG Prem: Sergio Aguero's Busy Day
((HT: BPL on NBCSN))
Spurs seem to give up goals in bunches when it comes to playing Manchester City.
Saturday morning was no different as Sergio Aguero scored all four goals in a PK-laden 4-1 win at the Etihad.
Evidence below...
Aguero joins Edin Dzeko as Man City players who have scored four against Tottenham. He is also now their leading goal scorer with 61- and counting.
The Citizens close Chelsea's league lead to two pending the Blues match at Crystal Palace.

Cascadia Doesn't Disappoint... Again...
((HT: MLS/NBCSN))
The "Cascadia Derby" involves three cities in the Pacific Northwest- Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver- and the teams and cities do not like each other when it comes to soccer. Seattle and Portland, especially, share an intense dislike for one another...
And this dates back to 1975...
Here's what it's like to be a part of the Timbers Army on game day...
((HT: KICKTV))
The teams play each other three times in the MLS season- and round one was in Portland...
Safe to say, with all these moving parts, it was another slug fest...
The Timbers are still winless on the season, at 0-2-3, while the Sounders are now 2-2-1.
41 shots, 38 fouls, 14 shots on goal, 8 goals, 7 yellow cards, and a Clint Dempsey hat trick...

El Clasico Certainly Was
((HT: La Liga/Star Sports))
When Benzema put Real Madrid in front of Barcelona 2-1, you thought it was going to be a two-team race for the top of the La Liga ladder. But if you thought that, you were sadly mistaken...
A Messi hat trick (of course) put FCB in front for a hotly and highly-contested 4-3 final that puts these two teams and Athletico Madrid all separated by one point in the top of the table...
Here's the goals...
Cristiano, of course, after the match felt he wuz robbed...via Football Espana
“We played against 12. It's always the same. They don't allow us. Maybe they wanted Barca back in the League. I don't want to leave this inside of me and I’m not looking for excuses, but the ref is not at the required level for a game like this. If Barca lost today they would have been out. After five years here, I understand how things work."
He also promised the team would win the league and feels Real Madrid never gets their calls in game...
Ah, rivalry...

Another Night Of Edmonton Sweater Toss And Exploding Water Bottles
((HT: Hockey Night In Canada/CBC/NHL))
There is no breaking news here...
The Edmonton Oilers are a bad hockey club...
And one of the ways the rabid, loyal fans have been protesting is this way...
And it didn't get any better for the Oil as Curtis Glencross got a hat trick and Matt Stajan had a four-point night on his own (considering everything he and his family have gone through... Good on you, Matt) as the Flames won 8-1
The night got even more interesting as Taylor Hall had issues with his water bottle and, then, his head coach Dallas Eakins...
But Eakins, really, should be Coach of the Year for having to put up with all this crap...
Here's the highlights...

OSG Prem: The Top Stays Top, Except For Arsenal...
((HT: BPL on NBC/SkySports))
It was an unbelievable first twenty minutes for Chelsea against Arsenal...
Earlier in the week The Chosen One (Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho) maintained that his counterpart, Arsene Wenger, was only good at being a "specialist in failure." He kept pushing buttons and made sure everyone was on edge as the game started...
Eto'o and Schurrle made it 2-0 in the first 8 minutes, and then an odd call from referee Andre Marriner gave a red to Kieran Gibbs instead of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain- who lobbied for it and still wasn't given the dismissal...
The red card will be transferred to AOC from Gibbs on Monday, by the way...
And the final was 6-0...congrats to Arsene Wenger in his 1000th appearance as manager... (???)
Mourinho still believes the title is Man City's to lose and after today's display against Fulham, who can really complain about that assessment. Yaya Toure scored on two PK's early on before this strike from the outside gave him his hat trick in a 5-0 win over Fulham...
Not to be outdone, Luis Suarez and Liverpool had their hands full with Cardiff for the first 55 minutes or so, then the Reds took over winning 6-3 as Suarez had a hat trick himself to go with Skrtel and Sturridge
Elsewhere, Hull City shut out West Brom 2-0, Everton held off Swansea 3-2 to keep a look at the Europa qualifier, Newcastle's Cisse scored near the death and dedicated the goal to suspended manger Alan Pardew in a big win over Crystal Palace, Norwich shut out Sunderland 2-0 as well, but the interesting story line late came from West Ham and Manchester United.
Rooney's 50-yarder on Adrian gave the Red Devils enough momentum to pull out a 2-0 win themselves...
Here's the goal- again- because we can... and Beckham's reaction was priceless...

OSG Prem: Man United Is Mortal...And It Showed At Chelsea
((HT: NBC Sports/BPL))
Let's face it...
This year's Premier League is a log jam and a half...
11 teams are in the relegation talk. There's a group at the top that will be fighting over each other for the Europa League and Champions League spots...
And, then, there's Man United...
Who really just seem to be adrift of everything and everyone right now...
In the middle with everything happening around them and, seemingly, no way to get out of their own way......
Today's match at Chelsea was another example of that as, without van Persie and Rooney, they're only "okay..."
Losing 3-1 to a Samuel Eto'o hat trick... and how does that ever happen, really...???
Here's the highlights...
As to that whole relegation stuff...
West Ham, Sunderland, and Cardiff, each have 18 points...
Villa (24), Hull (23), Norwich (23), and Stoke (22) are right there...
West Brom (21), Swansea (21), Crystal Palace (20) and Fulham (19) are within three points of the drop.
This will go for a while...

DEVELOPING: St. Louis Scores Four In A Row, Still Doesn't Work...
((HT: NHL/SunSports))
The Tampa Bay Lightning's Martin St. Louis scored four goals in a little over 22 minutes in their Saturday afternoon game against San Jose...
The four goals tie the team record by Chris Kontos on October 7, 1992 in Tampa Bay's first-ever game...
St. Louis' four goals gives him 25 for the year. His efforts didn't seem to work in the game as San Jose led 5-4 half-way through the third and one goal in particular was pretty foul...
See...???

For The Record, Luis Suarez Is Ridiculous...
((HT: BPL on NBC))
It was one of those rare, mid week full schedules for the Premier League...
And Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers asked that everyone step up to help Luis Suarez with the injury to Daniel Sturridge...
As it turns out, they only needed Rahim Sterling to give Liverpool their 5th goal of the day...
Suarez had already scored the first four... including the early "Goal of The Year" candidate...
See...???
We told you...

Ronaldo In, Zlatan Out...
Your run to Rio had an interesting turn today...
It was Sweden versus Portugal... which means that it was a case of Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic...
Winner is in and the loser goes home...
Portugal qualified after a hat trick from Cristiano Ronaldo secured a 3-2 win over Sweden and a 4-2 victory on aggregate...
Here's how it happened...
((HT: ESPN))
Ibrahimovic admitted postgame that this may have been his last chance to attend the world competition, and the last two berths are up for bid tomorrow- and unless something happens of an earth-shattering variety, it looks like Uruguay and Mexico will go in to complete the 32-nation field...

OSG Prem: Suarez Shines, Southampton Rolling
((HT: NBCSN/BPL))
Luis Suarez and Liverpool are on a huge roll right now as it has been not necessarily proven, but reinforced, as to how important he is on the offense. Suarez and Sturridge were credited for all four goals today against West Brom...
Here's Suarez's first of the day, which was special...
Which team do we pay attention to when we're talking about Manchester United...???
The one that was on display in the first half Saturday against Stoke, or the one that did this on their way to a 3-2 come-from-behind win at Old Trafford...???
Elsewhere, Arsenal and Everton scored 2-0 wins, and Southampton got one of those themselves and are now THIRD in the league table

Champ League Wednesday: It's All Zlatan
Today's second day of the week in group play for Champions League gave us more blowouts than anything...
Man City won on a painted pitch against CSKA Moscow, 2-1... and the HQ is not kidding about the paint job...
Leverkusen put four on Shakhtar, Galatasaray's all-stars won 3-1, and Bayern put 5 on Plzen...
There were some closer games as ManU beat Real Sociedad 1-0, Real beat Juventus 2-1, and there was actually a tie- Benfica and Olympiakos at ones...
But the performance of the day goes to Zlatan Ibrahimovich as PSG was all over Anderlecht...
The final was 5-0, and Zlatan had four of them...
((HT: Fox Soccer/UEFA))
The hat trick came down in an 18-minute span and Zlatan has now scored 10 goals this season- already...

Messi Matches Ronaldo Hat Trick With One Himself
((HT: Fox Soccer/UEFA))
When Ronaldo had a hat trick of his own yesterday, the HQ thought that someone would match the effort today...
And, yep, it was Messi...
After a bit of a slow start, Barca took care of Ajax in the first end of their home-and-home...
Here's the highlights...
The only real surprise on Day Two of the Group stage was perpetual pain in the ass Basel as they scored two late to beat Chelsea. Other winners included Arsenal, Napoli, and AC Milan...

Ronaldo Goes For A Hat Trick
((HT: Fox Soccer))
It's something the HQ enjoys occasionally...
It's like the All-Star Game for soccer...
UEFA Champions League started again today with not a whole lot of surprises...
Just some dominating performances...
Like Ronaldo against Galatasaray...
Man City and ManU also had dominating performances...
More action tomorrow...

Jordan Eberle Score HT In 2:43
((HT: Edmonton Oilers))
Jordan Eberle is abusing people in the American Hockey League this year since the minors are the only place in North America where we can go see any action...
He's toiling in Oklahoma City and got a hat trick in 2:43 the other night...
The first two goals were nine seconds apart...
Not bad...
Go Barons...
