Blueshirt Banter Discussion: Who Wins The Battle Between Marian Gaborik And Henrik Lundqvist?

by Joe Fortunato on Jan 28, 2012 12:19 PM EST in Blueshirt Banter Discussion

NEW YORK, NY - JANUARY 05: Marian Gaborik #10 of the New York Rangers celebrates his game winning goal at 3:21 of overtime against the Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden on January 5, 2012 in New York City. The Rangers defeated the Panthers 3-2 in overtime. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)

Tomorrow night two of the New York Rangers' superstars will face off against one another. Sniper Marian Gaborik and goalie Henrik Lundqvist will be on different teams for the first time since Gaborik was a member of the Minnesota Wild.

The two have already started trash talking on twitter, which makes this whole sequence even more interesting. The All-Star game is always about finding stories within the game, since the outcome doesn't matter at all. For Rangers fans, here is one of your stories.

So in the period that Lundqvist will play, who do you think will have the edge? Do you see Gaborik scoring a goal or two on Lundqvist, or do you see Lundqvist shutting the door on Gaborik? We'll have a period to see who gets the edge but I'll throw the question to you guys, who bests who during the All-Star game?

Go ahead guys, the floor is yours.

Gabby scores one, then Hank stones him the rest of the period

Gotta say Hank gives him one and then shuts him down

^

pretty much the perfect scenario.

No, the perfect scenario is...

Gabby scores one and then Hank stones EVERYONE the rest of the period!

I would love to see hank put on a show and get a shutout for his period and have Gabby score on a different goalie

best case scenario for Hank would be Gabby scoring on every goalie except him so that he can be the one puzzle Gabby couldn’t solve.

Gabby will score one, then go apeshit celebrating and rub it in to hank, and it will be hilarious.

Worst case scenario:

Gabby takes a slapshot that goes off of lundqvist’s head concussing him.

will the puck atleast go in mighty ducks 2 style?

by OhCallyMyCaptain on Jan 28, 2012 12:55 PM EST up reply actions

that would add insult to injury

by Prustyballs94 on Jan 28, 2012 1:00 PM EST via Android app up reply actions

i feel like that would be worst case scenario though.

by OhCallyMyCaptain on Jan 28, 2012 1:59 PM EST up reply actions

Hank will shut him down.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

I kind of feel like this year’s ASG is going to bring players from opposing teams closer in a more lasting way.. specifically because of the advent of Twitter. I can imagine a bit more back and forth between these guys, like what you see around the game this weekend:

This is the first year that players are allowed to tweet during the game, they just said on NHLN.. they also just showed Girardi in the locker room, kidding around with Hartnell, and now Hank talking too.

I’m in the same boat. I love this facet of the ASG. GCL sucks a big one.
