Jason Robertson's comments after his game 3 hat trick, in the Dallas Stars 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, drew controversy.
He said after he got the first one he would keep shooting. Yet, Oilers fans start losing their minds over it, calling him 'classless' and a 'big mouth'. For what though?
"I got the first one, and then I'm like okay I'm going to shoot everything."

The game was a wild ride, with Edmonton jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first period. Then, Robertson decided to take matters into his own hands. With linemate and Dallas top center Roope Hintz back, he netted his first playoff hat trick.
Yet here's where things get interesting. After the game, Robertson was relaxed about his performance, casually mentioning that he's just going to keep shooting.
Some fans took that as a dig at Stuart Skinner, the Oilers' goaltender.
Yet let's not read too much into it, because Robertson's just doing his job and helping his team, who have a 2-1 series lead, win. Shooters are gonna shoot right?
