What Up With Gaborik?

John Grigg at The Hockey News looks at the wackier findings from the first two months of the season, including this one on Marian Gaborik...

9. Marian Gaborik’s games played
He has averaged just 52 games played per season since the lockout (including a 77-game 2007-08), which is why the Rangers were largely criticized for investing five years and $37.5 million in him last summer. A ‘right leg’ injury kept him out of two games to end October – and must have scared the bejeezus out of GM Glen Sather – but Gaborik has played every other of the Blueshirts’ 27 games, and is second in league scoring. What up with that?

...we Ranger fans had confidence the whole time that Gaborik would be able to stay healthy. Right?

yes, some of us did have faith in Gaborik to be healthy. Not just for the rangers sake, but to prove all of those annoying "analysts" who said he was going to be out.
