Posted 12/21/2007 on Bleacher Report

And you thought scoring was down in the NHL! Well maybe it is this season, but don't tell that to Marian Gaborik, or how I like to call him: "Gaboriffik". You can steal that one if you like.

Posted 12/21/2007 on FanIQ Blog

Two hockey posts in one morning? What's gotten into the blog? If it wasn't for Sidney Crosby's first fight and Gordie Howe hat trick, Marian Gaborik would have been the story of the night.
