Video: Leafs Jason Spezza Scores Hat Trick vs the Canucks

Jason Spezza turned back the clock on Thursday night and his Maple Leafs teammates loved every minute of it. 

Spezza and the Leafs took on the Canucks and if you had money on Spezza scoring three, you made yourself a pretty penny. Not only did Spezza score his 8th career hat trick, which have all come against different teams, he scored some absolute beauty goals.

The 37-year-old veteran now has four goals and eight points in ten games this season and has stapled himself to the Leafs fourth line and 2nd power play. 

Auston Matthews on Jason Spezza: "He means a lot to this team, I think more than anybody knows. That was fun to watch. That was vintage Jason Spezza. He put on a show, and he deserves it."

If he keeps playing like this, he may find himself up the lineup. And from his teammates reactions to his hatty, sounds like they would love to see it happen:
