Gaborik has Bragging Rights Over Lundqvist

Dan Rosen at NHL.com caught up with Marian Gaborik last night after Slovakia's upset over Henrik Lundqvist and Sweden...

On the upset Gaborik said...

"It's a very important game and we did everything we were talking about before the game. There was a system, being disciplined, being on the puck and wining the battles. We did all of that and Halak was great in net and, you know, I'm proud of these guys."

While Sawn P. O'Rourke also of NHL.com spoke with Lundqvist...

On what went wrong...

"They had a good power play. They pretty much beat us the way we thought they could beat us -- on mistakes and turnovers. They come really fast and they are pretty skilled. We think we were the better team, but they kind of hurt us in their good areas."

...loving Gaborik's domination so far, gives me lots of hope for a nice March run by the Rangers.

...as far as Lundqvist goes, like I said in an earlier post, I'm happy to see him out early. He can now go home relax for a couple of days and be ready to carry the Rangers the rest of the way.
