Gaborik’s Goals

From Larry Brooks at The New York Post:
Brandon Dubinsky succeeded as Jaromir Jagr’s center in 2007-08 basically by getting out of the way and allowing No. 68 to work one-on-one (or one-on-two) with the puck against defenders.
But if the third-year pro is going to thrive with Marian Gaborik, the Rangers’ newest threat from the right side, Dubinsky likely will have to become more of a traditional playmaking pivot who can transport the puck while his winger jumps into seams for the one-timer.
“I can go one-on-one in certain situations, but I like to play with a center who carries the puck while I get open,” Gaborik, the former Minnesota sniper who signed a five-year, $37.5 million free-agent contract on July 1, told The Post on Friday while he visited the club’s training facility in Greenburgh.

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
I, Patrick Hoffman, have covered the NHL since 2003 and have worked for a variety of hockey media sources including: Stan Fischler, Spector’s Hockey, TheHockeyNews.com, HockeyBuzz.com, McKeen’s Hockey, Blueshirt Bulletin, XM Home Ice Channel Hockey Blog, HockeyPrimeTime.com, FantasyHockey.com. NY SportsDay, and HokejaVestnesis.com.

Well who else do we have? Drury? Yeah, right.
