When the Rangers lack of brain trust first signed UFA Marian Gaborik, most Blueshirt fans were skeptical of the move to say the least.
Broadway Blue fans had no doubts concerning his scoring prowess but with Marian's lack of durability as an NHL player, combined with perpetual Ranger bad luck, the overall outlook of the signing was grim to the die hard Ranger fan.
Gaborik's career previously with the Minnesota Wild had been plagued with what it seemed like endless groin problems and reoccurring injury's up the yin yang.
That unhealthy trend had most Ranger fans predicting he would only play in 40 games or less in a Ranger uniform in the 2009-2010 NHL campaign.
Gabby proved a lot of people wrong by staying predominately healthy during an arduous NHL season which included his participation the Olympics but even more impressive was his performance night after night as the most productive skater on the ice.
The Mouth feels Gabby deserves tons of credit for making this season bearable for the exasperated Ranger fan as he gave us a lot of thrills especially on Madison Square Garden ice, where things haven't been offensively electric since Jaromir Jagr's departure to the KHL.
It is with this wondrous video edited by LoFFen that The Mouth pays tribute to Marian Gaborik for having his career year as a New York Ranger in a season that saw him miss only EIGHT games.
