When Rangers General Manager Glen Sather traded for Rick Nash during the summer of 2012, expectations in New York were sky high. The thought of a Nash-Gaborik duo centered by Brad Richards looked fantastic on paper. It didn’t take long for the potential brilliance of that trio to shine.

In just the third game of the season, Gaborik scored a sharp-angle goal on a brilliant breakout, assisted by Richards and Nash. Michael Del Zotto sprang the play with a seeing-eye pass up the middle of the ice to Richards, who re-directed it right to Nash, who was flying down the boards. Nash found Gaborik on the 2-on-0 and seconds later, Gaborik popped the water bottle with a patient play.

While the line was short lived, as Gaborik was soon to be traded to Nash’s old team in Columbus, Rangers fans got to see magic on the ice in Boston.
