There was something interesting about Paul Deniset’s hat trick in tonights 8-1 victory over Manchester. Not only was it his third hat trick of the season but his third against the same team. Yep, Manchester have been the result of three heavy defeats to the Giants and on all three of them occassions Deniset found the net three times. One in a 6-3 win, another in a 4-2 victory and again in last nights 8-1 demolition.

It brings the total to six hat tricks scored by the team this season leaving them just one more trick shy of the club record for seven in a season achieved in 2005-2006. One more hat trick by Deniset — or Awada from this current team for that matter — and they would tie the club record of 4 by a player. Currently Curtis Huppe and Paxton Schulte hold that honor.

The three hat tricks scored by Deniset against Manchester were the first times the Giants had scored hat tricks against Manchester. The most against any one team is the eight against Basingstoke and Nottingham.

The form Deniset is showing lately it wouldn’t be a suprise to see him score more. He already has 29 goals this season with a potential 20 league games, and 7-8 cup games meaning the club record of 38 by Jason Ruff in the 03-04 season.
