Re: The 2009-10 NHL regular season thread: Slightly less meaningless hockey
The Rangers still pulled out a win off of 2 3rd period Gaborik goals. Man I hope he stays healthy all season.
This is a game the Rangers would have lost last year.
Once the Rangers went down in a game, especially in the third period on the road, it was over.
Hank makes a blunder to allow Wash back into the game and then they score again getting all momentum on their side...What does Gaborik do?
Takes the puck solo makes a move to free himself up for a shot in the high slot and beats Theo five hole to tie the game at three just 18 seconds later.
Then he scores the game winner a little over two minutes later. The Rangers havent had this type of player in a very long time. It's refreshing to finally see that we have a guy we can look to for the big goal.
Obviously, health is still a big question, but I've said this since the first game, this team has very good potential IF Gaborik stays healthy.
Very impressed with their play so far after four games. I know it's still early but this team has been doing a lot of the little things you just didnt see last season.
The growth of Del Zotto and Gilroy on the blue line will he a big key this season and Kotalik running the PP as well.
