Frankly I am still shocked and impressed that he was even playing in the postseason. Torts must be all over his case. Scared him half to death so he had to suit up.

So glad this china doll is gone from the Wild. Anybody who thinks this guy is a cornerstone to build around needs to get a clue. He is in the perfect spot now that Richards and Callahan/Hank to a certain extent are the core and heart of the team. Gaborik is a luxury, an expensive toy that skates fast and scores goals (When healthy)…that’s it. He gives you no battle, no heart, barely any defense, and certainly no physical play. He would and still will never win as a team leader. He is a complimentary luxury player that few teams can literally “afford” to have and still win.

Too bad I have to root against the Rangers because of him. I like most of their players, but this dude does not deserve to win a cup. He’s holding you back with 7-8 mill for a guy that won’t sell out to win games.

“It’s getting way too rough out there…I’ll just go hang out on the half wall, then you guys dig it out and pass it to me.”

“When we try and break out, I will usually send it right back to my D-man because I don’t want to take a hit and I can’t win a 1on1 battle against anyone.”

“I haven’t been in front of the net in years, but Torts is scary and he said I have too.”
