Yesterday marked 30 years that the ever flawless Marian Gaborik has been walking this Earth. Allow me to share with you a list of the reasons why he is one of my favorite hockey players & overall an amazing human being.

The moves like Gaborik.

Seriously. He's filthy. You best believe when he scores a goal it's not going to be a fluke or just any other goal. He always has some little trick, a little fake out or a toe drag - something, that makes the majority of his goals extraordinary and he'll leave you wondering...how did he do that? Like many other mysteries of this world - we may never know why Marian Gaborik is so good at scoring goals.
Add to his goal scoring ability his insane speed. He's incredibly fast, the only current Ranger who can touch him is Carl Hagelin.
Take for example, this penalty shot against Phoenix from a few weeks ago. Granted, he did not score, but just the sheer speed he picks up coming down the ice is something to be commended. Not many players can do that, let alone somebody at his age.

He was this years All Star Game MVP. He held his own in a game packed with NHL's best and his hat trick was a major reason why Team Chara walked away with the win. This is the first time a New York Ranger has been an MVP of the All Star game since Mike Richter in 1994. Something else happened in 1994 for the Rangers also....

Also, after scoring on Henrik "The King" Lundqvist, he busted out this goal celebration made famous by our own Artem Anisimov known as the sniper riffle. Best goal cellie of the entire All Star weekend? You bet your ass.

He has the most hilarious Twitter.

He's a soccer player when he's not a hockey player. It's not fair that one person should be so talented.

And finally: he carried a Christmas tree home on his shoulder. If that doesnt say "bad ass"...I really don't know what does. Think Marian Gaborik needs his Christmas tree delivered to his apartment? Hell no, he's just gonna carry that shit home all the way home on his shoulder through the streets of New York City. Fucks given: 0.
