Marian Gaborik has come out flying for the start of this season. This is what the Rangers have been waiting for sometime now; a true number one scorer. Nikolai Zherdev was a failed experiment in NY, but plan B with Gabby is making Glen Sather look a genius. Sather is the General Manager who gave Gaborik a huge contract even with his history of injury problems.
So far this season the Rangers lived (and died) with Gaborik. The two games he missed the team lost, but with him NY is 9-4; very impressive. So for right now Gabby is king at MSG and the NY hockey media will hold him to that title and expect him to play through more injuries than he has in his past. The team needs him too.
I have always thought of Gabby as a potential 50 goal scorer and with the chemistry that has formed between him and Vaclav Prospal, this milestone seems very achievable. The talent is there and now it just all on Gabby's body to hold up.
