Gaborik scores 5 goals in 6-3 win

wow this is amazing! 5 goals one game. 6 points.

Quote:
ST. PAUL (AP) -Marian Gaborik posted the NHL's first five-goal game in a decade, lifting the Minnesota Wild to a 6-3 win over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.

Gaborik's outburst was the biggest in the league since Sergei Fedorov scored five for Detroit on Dec. 26, 1996, in an overtime game against Washington. Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux was the last to net five in regulation, pulling off the feat on March 26, 1996 versus St. Louis.

Gaborik had a goal in the first period, two on power plays in the second, and found the net twice more in the third to set the team record for tallies in a game. No Wild player had ever had four goals in a game.

With two assists, Gaborik tied his career high with six points. That was established on Oct. 26, 2002, at Phoenix. It was his best offensive game since he scored three goals and helped set up another on April 9, 2006, at Colorado.

This one got him carried off the ice by teammates Sean Hill and Keith Carney.

Pavol Demitra, Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Aaron Voros added two points apiece for Minnesota, which extended its winning streak to four games.

Michal Rozsival, Martin Straka and Nigel Dawes scored for New York, which fell to 2-5-1 in its last eight.

It was absolute craziness. I was listening/watching to the game and towards the end of the game everybody in the crowd was chanting his name because they wanted Gaborik to score his 6th goal of the game. I don't know how many other players this day in age can score 5 goals in a game but Gaborik showed that he could do it. He was absolutely on fire last night.

Glad I have him on my fantasy team! On a side note, I always felt Gaborik has the talent to be a top 5 goalscorer in the NHL, he just needs to stay healthy and have his team's offense open up a little.

I remember earlier in the year he told reporters that he would like to apologize to fantasy league managers for being selfish and trying to help his team win instead of scoring goals. Great sense of humor!
