New York Post "Rick Nash is still in New York suffering from an undisclosed injury, so this is the best time possible for Marian Gaborik to start playing like himself again.

CSN New England "They haven't come up with a catchy name in New York like Legion of Doom or the French Connection quite yet, but pairing together Rick Nash, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik for Wednesday night's showdown with the Bruins was certainly worthy of a statement. The line combined for three goals all..." January 24

New York Post "There was his chance, sitting open at the left circle, waiting for the puck, and when it came, Brad Richards fired it quickly only to watch it get swallowed up in Martin Brodeur's stacked pads. It was the third period of the last game of the Rangers season, Game 6 of the Eastern Conference..." May 27

New York Post "Maybe somebody was listening to John Tortorella on Tuesday when he jokingly said the only thing he can do to get his top forwards to score was "pray." Last night at the Garden, during the Devils' 5-3 Game 5 win, the Rangers coach got one goal apiece from two of his best forwards — Ryan Callahan..." May 24

New York Post "Hockey fans don't need much in the way of reference points; surnames will do just fine.

May 03

New York Post "As the Rangers have marched through the regular season, coach John Tortorella and his players have preached the need for everyone to buy into the team's philosophy of total commitment at both ends of the ice.

St. Paul Pioneer Press "The Wild have been in a death spiral ever since Marian Gaborik left the organization three years ago. In fact, it was an injury to Gaborik in October of 2008, his last season here, that dramatically changed the course of Wild history. All those memories came back as the best and most exciting..." March 28

New York Post "It was a game of war last year between John Tortorella, the coach of the Rangers, and Marian Gaborik, the marquee forward of the Rangers, that proved much like the fictional thermonuclear war in the movie "War Games."

No chance. While the Panthers received contributions from three players who have either been..." January 06

New York Post "The most important thing to know about hockey chemistry is that it is not science. Rather it is an undefinable mixture of preparation, communication, instinct and work ethic.

Bergen Record "The blueprint for the Rangers from the moment they signed Brad Richards to a nine-year, $60 million contract, through training camp and the season's first eight games was to have him center Marian Gaborik.

New York Post "When you are paid $7.5 million a year as one of the most gifted goal-scorers extant, you play in a No Excuses League, which, to Marian Gaborik's everlasting credit, he understood through a confounding 2010-11 during which he scored in only 14 games for a meager 22 goals overall. But there's no..." July 14

New York Daily News "It was Marian Gaborik 's miscue, knocking the puck away from Henrik Lundqvist , that allowed Jason Chimera to score in the second overtime Wednesday night and put the Rangers on the brink of elimination as they head back to Washington for Game 5 against the Capitals Saturday. It is..." April 23

Bergen Record "There might be just one last chance for Marian Gaborik to make a positive impact on this Rangers season.

April 22

New York Post "It was one power-play practice session two days before the opening playoff game in Washington, nothing more and nothing less than that, but that doesn't change the fact that yesterday for the first time in memory, Marian Gaborik skated on the Rangers' second unit.

New York Post "There are always paral lel, if at times contradictory, theories at work in the playoffs, one being that a team cannot succeed in a seven-game series without significant contributions from depth players, the other holding that a team cannot succeed without its top players leading the way.

New York Daily News "The Rangers drafted Al Montoya in the first round in 2004, and though he never played a game for the Blueshirts before he was traded to Phoenix in 2008, it appeared that they had the book on their former prospect Tuesday night.

And here he..." March 11

New York Daily News "While the Rangers had a day off Saturday before playing for the third time in four days Sunday afternoon against the Flyers at the Garden, Marian Gaborik was back on the ice, skating for the fourth straight day as he continues his comeback from a concussion that has kept him out for the past two..."

February 22

New York Daily News "Marian Gaborik's nightmare season got even worse Sunday, as the right wing left the Rangers' 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers with a concussion.

Bergen Record "The Rangers certainly didn't lavish Marian Gaborik with $37.5 million over five seasons to be a defensive stopper. But in an effort to spark his offense, coach John Tortorella is finding time on the penalty kill for the right wing. "You're in the flow," said Gaborik, who brings a seven-game..." February 17

New York Post "The no tion floating around that Chris Drury bailed out on the Rangers by claiming to have a sore left knee in order to potentially avoid the specter of becoming a healthy scratch is about as absurd as it gets. It's as insulting as possible regarding an athlete whose character and will to win has..." February 06

New York Post "The coach has shuffled more decks this year than there are on all the tables in Vegas, and the Rangers still need a deal to find a true ace center. John Tortorella can only coach 'em if he's got 'em. With 28 games and likely at least one round of playoffs to go without a true No. 1, he says..." February 04
