Stolid Colorado Avalanche forward Carl Soderberg recorded his first NHL hat trick last night. You read that right — big ol’ Carl got the hattie.
In Toronto. I didn’t even think the Avalanche were going to be able to win last in Toronto’s barn. And they actually pulled out the win.
And Carl “You Thought I’d Be a Buyout” Soderberg was a large part of the reason. After all the Avs won 6-3, and one of Soderberg’s three goals was actually the game-winner.
Carl started his hat trick feat late in the second period.
