Jean-Gabriel Pageau Executes Sick Playoff Hat Trick
Jean-Gabriel Pageau may have just refined the term clutch.
The Ottawa Senators center and hometown hero was absolutely ridiculous in Game 2 of their second-round matchup against the New York Rangers.
The Sens really had no business winning this game, but after falling behind by two goals five minutes into the third quarter, Pageau decided to get involved.

For a little perspective, Pageau had scored a grand total of five playoff goals in 23 career appearances before this game.

That's playoff hockey, dudes.
Deal with it.
