PrintFrom Russo's Rants: Marian Gaborik is out tonight with a lower body injury. More later.
Marian Gaborik is out tonight with what the team is calling a “lower body” injury. That means three of the Wild’s top six forwards and one of its top four defensemen are already injured and out. The Wild has changed Pierre-Marc Bouchard from back to lower body. I thought the back was upper. Maybe it’s middle.
Owen Nolan is lower body. Marek Zidlicky has a sprained ankle, but the Wild is calling it lower body.
I don’t know when Gaborik hurt his “lower body” because he was certainly playing soccer hackysack/volleyball for about 45 minutes yesterday with Andrew Brunette, Mikko Koivu, Antti Miettinen and Eric Belanger. He did have his right upper thigh/groin area wrapped with ice after the game in Atlanta when he was interviewed by me, but that’s not abnormal with Gaborik, who gets iced down after every game due to his history of groin, hip and other leg ailments.

I can’t imagine this team without Marion Gaborik. What would we do without him out there everygame, shift after shift giving everything he has to win. Putting his teamates before himself. Not to mention the leader that he is. I just don’t understand how DR wouldn’t be willing to pay a reasonable amount of money for a player that is clearly as important to this team as any top tier player in the league. His dependablilty is unmatched, both in clutch situations and his health. C’mon give the guy what he deserves a 50 million signing bonus, 11.8Milliion a year guaranteed, a luxury box, hell, all the boxes, change Kellogg Blvd to Gaborik Dr. and all merchandise revenue for the next 50 years, as well as freedom to negotioate with any KHL team. Lock him up long term, because I cannnot see any reason to believe he won’t be a superstar for the next 20 years.
