This reminds me of a stats question I had when Mika scored 5 a couple years ago. How many players have scored 5 goals in a game without an empty netter being one of them? Obviously Thompson, Zibanejad, Fedorov, and Joe Malone are four that are obvious, but you would think a solid amount of the total number of 5 goal games after the 40s would include an empty net, right? I'm sure it's an easy number to find with stathead, maybe I'll get the free trial and report back if anyone else is interested.
Edmonton and Calgary have had a promotion with a grocery store for as long as I can remember where if someone on the Oilers or Flames scores 5 goals in a game a card member of the grocery store will win a million dollars. I don't think anyone has ever done it….
Tage with the full arsenal tonight. Wicked backhand, a 100 mph bomb and an insane wrist shot. Go Sabres! When they moved Cozens on to the first powerplay unit they have been lights out.

DAVE ANDREYCHUK: *scores five goals for Buffalo in '86*
TAGE: Hold my beer….
So would it be called a double hat trick if he gets 6 this game, or would it be a spare hat trick after the first one?
Tage* GOATED Thompson
Thompson 5
Jackets 2
GRETZKY THE GENIUS – NOT lol. 6 comes after 5 lol
If the Jackets don’t get Bedard something smelly is going on in Toronto.
Logan Paul?
What a bargain his extension ($7.1/7) is, and it hasn’t even kicked in yet.
it took him 6 years/seasons to be really great. so lets wait until 6 yrs pass before calling a pick a bust
Tage's head is up all the way through the shot. What is this announcer talking about? Lmao this guy

Blues fan here thinking why did we trade him
Best celly
The last time a player scored 6 goals in a single NHL game, Gerald Ford was the U.S. President.
Edit: And that's still the last time. However, Thompson has nothing to be ashamed about LOL
Western New York: "Thanks a lot, Vegas".
5 is always the cut off id like to see him get 6!
Trade him to a good team

GAWD DAMN!
As a lifelong Sabres fan this is sweet. The future is bright. I’d love to see him pot at least 1 more.
Only the 17th player to score 4 in a period.
48th
bro columbus is free points
Modern day Mario Lemieux
Thompson > Mathews
bro this guy breathe different
MAKE IT 6
Name of the commentator who calls the goal? Love his announcing! Who does he announce for normally?
Only in Ohio 💀

Comparing Thomson to Bossy is a bit much. But an awesome game for him, regardless.
Always liked him in St Louis. Can’t believe they gave him away
Last to do so was hatrick Laine.
Tage just exploded out of nowhere. Always knew he had potential, but never this much this quick
