22 Oshie hat trick on May 5, 2021
Two days after T.J. Oshie lost his father coach, Oshbabe scored a hat trick in Madison Square Garden. In a night that featured a line brawl at the start of the game, the Caps didn't waver and it ended up being the win of the year.
Recently Oshie received a special gift from the Capitals in the form of three pucks with each one representing one of his three goals from that night.
Oshie would say on his Instagram:
"Some goals have more meaning than others. Scoring a Hat Trick the day after Coach Osh passed was one of those moments."T.J. Oshie
Oshie would say at the time after the game:
"I like to think I had a little bit of help out there from the big man. My teammates, they were looking for me all night. I had a couple more chances than just the three. It started to get a little bit funny of on the empty netter when guys started calling my name when they got the puck on the ice. But, I don't know. It was amazing. I really can't describe it. That was the most meaningful game in my career, mostly because of what my teammates did for me. "T.J. Oshie
