Ticket stub from the 1981 NHL Playoffs dates from the April 11th contest in which Wayne Gretzky recorded the first postseason hat-trick of his storied career. Stub measures roughly 2x3" with uneven tear and small stain on back. The Great One hit the net three times as his Edmonton Oilers completed a 3-game first-round sweep of the Montreal Canadiens. Though they would lose in that year's final to the New York Islanders, Edmonton returned the favor in '83-84, ending the Isles' dynasty reign in the finals and starting one of their own, winning the Stanley Cup five times in a 7-year span. For reference, number 99 holds the record with 10 career playoff hat-tricks - the next closest active player is Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby, with 3. This is the only known example on the PSA pop report!
