Poll: How Many Games Will Gaborik Play?

It is time to retire the old poll on the right. The majority of people thought that the 2009 Hall of Fame class (Yzerman, Hull, Leetch, Robitaille) was better than the 2007 class (Messier, Stevens, MacInnis, Francis). There was no wrong answer in that poll, but it’s interesting to see people’s opinions. Personally, I think the 2007 classes numbers were skewed because Stevens was not a scorer.

On to the new poll: With the season a week away, and all of the offseason and preseason talk about Marian Gaborik’s groin and fragility, the question is, how many games will he play? It’s a legitimate concern amongst Ranger fans, and it’s the reason why all the “experts” expect the Rangers to finish in the bottom 10 of the league this year. No one expects him to play a full season.

The poll is on the right. Let’s see how optimistic (or pessimistic) everyone is.
