Taylor Hall's Hat Trick on Hockey Night

[Event Summary]
[CBC] [Edmonton Journal] [Hall Interview]

I haven't written in a long time, but Taylor Hall logged his first hat-trick of the season last night and the third of his career. It was the fastest hat-trick in Edmonton Oilers history. Hall got it in 7:53, besting the great one by several minutes. What a dominator Taylor Hall was tonight.

Here's #1

And the Power Play goal for the hat-trick:

This is the Oilers team that everyone thought they would be this year, finally. The Oilers got over .500 to 14-13-7 and beat a better team in the 19-10-6 Canucks. Taylor Hall beat Roberto Luongo three times on Hockey Night in Canada. Times are good right now for the Oilers who need a win badly on Wednesday night against the Flames to keep things going. The Oilers have won three games in a row and now sit one point back of St. Louis for the eighth and final playoff spot. Taylor Hall now cracks the top 15 in points with 11 goals and 23 assists in 31 games. He's making this his team.
