I agree...this has been my understanding of it also and unless everyone
that I've ever talked to and about hockey since I was old enough to(hmmm,
lets see I utter the word puck when I was 2, I'm now 23...that would be 21
years...ok, so I exaggerate a bit).  Anyway...what Dave said is how I
understand it to be.  A hat trick is 3 goals in a game, a natural hat is
three in a period and a pure is three goals in succesion, nobody else
scoring in between.
Just my $.02 worth.
