For years, Marian Gaborik was one of the top snipers in the NHL. Blue Line Station looks back at five of his best goals during his time with the New York Rangers.

Marian Gaborik spent three and a half seasons with the New York Rangers, from 2009 to the lockout-shortened 2013 season. During that time, he scored 114 goals, including two years of over 40 in 2009-10 and 2011-12.

Gaborik’s scoring for the Rangers was unprecedented since the Dead Puck Era began in the mid-1990s. Only Messier, Jagr, Nash, and Gaborik have scored 40 or more goals in a season for the Rangers since then; Gaborik is the only one to do it more than once.

As the primary offensive producer for the Rangers during his years playing under John Tortorella, the spotlight shined bright and often on Gaborik. With his lightning speed and lethal shot, Gaborik was simply a superstar for the Rangers.

The sight of #10 streaking down the ice or snapping a shot top-shelf was common for those years. At Blue Line Station, we wanted to break down the five best goals Gaborik scored on Broadway.
