aGENT Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just now, Wild Sean Monahan said: Yeah, one of the best skaters in the NHL in his day. Gaborik's been a good player but he could've been great. Injuries really f'd him. Generational talent hampered by injuries. Here's hoping Brock's more durable/lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only real detractor (before his injuries) was he had/has a tendency to be a bit of a one man show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His only real detractor (before his injuries) was he had/has a tendency to be a bit of a one man show. To be fair he didn't have a terribly talented team to work with. I was young but I remember Gaborik and Demitra just shredding the Canucks, which was why I was so excited when we got Demitra on board. He even seemed to destroy us when he was in STL.

Well, there was one guy wearing #13 in a Red/White uniform playing at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Even with Gaborik's injuries he is probably going to reach 400+ goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser is not Gaborik. The kid just grew up watching him in Minny. But it's a good answer, because Marian is a fairly complete player, and if he'd remained healthy, he'd likely be a HOF contender.

His ability to get the puck though and finish from anywhere on the ice is something we are lacking. That way we would have 3 players teams would have to respect becaue they can score from anywhere (Virtanen, McCann, Boeser) lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't forget about Datsyuk. But when I'm talking about midwestern fans; Detroit is a 9 hour drive compared to just under 4 to St. Paul. The Wild tend to be more popular in my area than Detroit.
