Shane Doan Gets First Career NHL Hat Trick With 0.1 Seconds Left

PrintIt's the moment Phoenix Coyotes fans have been waiting for since Shane Doan's first 2 goal game way back in who knows, 1997? 98? With just .1 second left on the clock and staring his 39th 2 goal game in the face the Coyote Captain ripped one last shot on net and Evgeni Nabokov just couldn't save it. call it karma, call it luck, call it whatever you want, but Doan put that extra drama into one of the best moments in team history as the hats rained down. Toronto had to make it official as it was close, but the call on the ice stood and one of the best guys in all of hockey finally got his hat trick after scoring 305 previous goals. (Now 308?)
While the third goal was certainly the most important for Doan, his previous two in the game really got the Coyotes going. He started the scoring in the game with a knee drop shot from the left side cleaning up a rebound and sent it high over the out stretched arm of Nabokov. The second was almost as pretty as Doan broke out on a turnover and sent it five hole to make it 2-1 in the second period. Check back in a few for the video highlights of them, but use this thread to profess your love for Shane Doan.

No surprise it was Whitney with the assist. Anything he touches turns to gold this season.

Like Chara, Doan really just needed to play the Isles. Can’t believe we missed the game but watching on TV was fabulous. Congrats to the greatest Coyote on the well deserved accomplishment!!!

Congrats to the Captain!
Tyson Nash and Matt McConnell squealing like excited little girls makes the video highlight even more awesome. I’m so grateful I got to see it live!

DOANER
I gotta say I feel really bad for the people sitting next to me at the game who left with 2 minutes left to go. Definitely one of the top moments of the season.
Who leaves a game with 2 minutes to go when a guy has a shot at a hat trick much less when it’s Doan?!?!

Grey hairs whose only concern is to beat the traffic, get to bed early, and be up at 4:30 for the early bird special at Denny’s, of course.
I live in Tucson and I always stay till the end. I’ve never had a big problem leaving the game. Now the 2 hour drive home when you can barely speak is not fun. Need longer post game radio. Congrats to Doan that is one hell of a way to get that monkey off your back. Don’t take so long for your 2nd ok.

With about 12-15 seconds left I told the people behind me “It seems it is not meant to be, again.” A few seconds later I had completely lost it. I don’t think I have ever freaked out so much over a goal, even in the playoffs.
I think I was already coming down with something, after tonight I don’t think I will have a voice tomorrow. Beautiful moment.
Cant believe I missed this one too!
Congratulations Shane!
