was Gerbe's third hat trick this season. He also had an assist on Smith's goal, the fifth time in 2007-08 he's had at least four points in a game. Gerbe has 33 goals this season to go with 31 assists.
Gerbe, a Hobey Baker finalist, also turned in a memorable contest in last year's semifinals against North Dakota, scoring two goals and adding two assists.
"Tonight was another great game from our club," Gerbe said.
That's the thing about Gerbe -- he's always deflecting credit to his teammates.
But they realize his worth.
"He's just a dynamo," Brennan said. "Nathan was outstanding the whole game. He likes to deflect all the glory to his team. He's just a great team guy."
The 5-foot-5 Gerbe learned something early in his hockey career: quickness had to be his best weapon.
"I had to learn to skate fast because of my size," Gerbe said. "I'm not going to outmuscle anyone down low, so I have to be quick."
Asked if he ate anything special for breakfast the day of the game, Gerbe just grinned.
"Same as usual -- cereal and a bagel," he said.
Brennan just glanced at him.
"Same as me and I didn't have (three) goals," Brennan said.
