Almost 10 years later, and I'll still never forget this night. I was sitting about 10 rows up on his break away for number 5. The video doesn't do it justice. That place was so loud.
I was visiting family in Minni and went to this game, and yes. The video is amazing, in person was unfathomable. I remember being in the crowd and just chanting after 5
When Gaborik was in his prime he was so dangerous offensively. He was always the best skater on the ice and usually had the best shot of anyone on the ice. He put up a lot of goals on a defensive oriented team (Minnesota Wild) all those years. As a Wild fan, I miss him and Brent Burns.
Magical Gaborik! Damn Wilds had a great team that season! Gabby, Demitra, Rolston, Parrish, Bouchard, Johnsson, Burns, Schultz ..Backstrom and Fernandez...thats a SC contedner!
first two goals, look how collected and calm demitra was, its so unique to him. the other three, well.. i just wish gaborik never left wilds..he was made for this team.
Absolutna fantazia. Sent shivers down my spine and it does every time I watch it, particularly the last goal was truly amazing, I guess we'll all remember this for years.
I've never done so much screaming during a sports game before in my life. Seeing him get number five on the breakaway just about gave me heart palpitations.
PeekaPeep I'm very happy with the trade. Brassard is very, very good. Dorsett was traded to get the Rangers a third round pick, and John Moore was included in a trade that brought in Yandle. Plus we got two mid-round picks... VERY favorable trade, but Gabby has a knack for the net.
Sadly Gaborik has always been one of those "fragile" players that hardly ever play even majority of a single season due to their tendencies for injury. It was a decent trade, good for both parties.
woow! we are so proud in slovakia that we have such an amazing hockey player like gaborik is:) hope that next season will be much much better for him,that he will avoid injuries and who knows....maybe we´ll see 5 goals in one game again :)) we´ll keep our fingers crossed.....MARIAN, DO TOHO :)
This was the night I became a Gaborik fan. It didn't matter that I'm a Rangers fan. By the time the game was over, I was rooting for Gabby, despite the fact that he was single handedly spanking my team. I'm glad we got him.
I agree, he is not the best in the world, but I think he is one of the most skilled hockey players in NHL! So quick and so good...I am from Slovakia too
I hope Minnesota once again become contenders... coming from a Canucks fan too, their fans are among the most loyal US fans, through thick and thin, they deserve better than what they've got from the management for the past few losing seasons.
Great to see Gaborik lighting it up this year. 22 goals in only 35 games so far tied for 1st, tied his last season goal total in which it took him 62 GAMES to score 22.
Was this before Marian Gaborik played with the New York Rangers? Good to see Marian Gaborik get a Stanley Cup Ring with the Los Angeles Kings in 2014. He deserved it, but it was just too bad that it did come at the expense of the same Rangers he played with at one time.
it wasn't on tv in minnesota for no real reason... on my way to a friends house i heard something about "gaborik has 5" on the radio, and it tuned out, still in the 3rd period. i called around to see if it was 5 goals or 5 points and i was pumped when i found out it was 5 goals. gabby is the new bure, can't wait until he wins fastest skater in the all-star skill competition
yeah i was at this game, gaborik had a chance to score #6 on a power play late in the game but the rangers' backup goalie made a ridiculous save. still a sweet game!! gaborik is awesome, doesn't get enough credit because he's always hurt.
Gaborik is pretty damn good, he always played in the most stiffling defensive system that Jaques Lemaire always employed, never let him run loose once in awhile and never let him pad his stats during a blowout and most importantly was always injured. If he hadn't been injured and played in the open style of the east earlier, he'd of probably had 2 or 3 50+ goal seasons by now, but I think he can now make arun at a few 50 goal seasons with the rangers now, minny really scewed his numbers.
One of the best int he NHL. Go Wild. Minnesota is the state of hockey! Sold out every home game since the Wild came into the league. Wild is Big time here
I love how he's now playing for the team that he did this against. I boy am I glad he's with the Rangers. If we didn't have him, the Rangers would be dead.
I think Gaborik is a very underrated player, when hes not having any problems with injure and such stuff hes just as good as the big guys like ovechkin and crosby
its encouraging that a wild fan feels that way on what i consider a trade that banks on potential instead of proof. the jury is still out on staal, and i think its safe to say that gabbys value has never been lower im still not giving up on this guy, injuries or not he is an absurdly talented player, and i think him and crosby could make marvelous music together as long as its about winning and not just money (of course it was about winning with hossa, who set the gold standard for wingers)
gaborik is a king ... i hope he can get over his health issues and return to form... that last goal is his specialty.... intercept the puck near the blue line and speed burst past everyone chasing; then snipe on the waiting goalie
Great player, the best one IMO, i am already looking forward Vancouver Olympics and i hope he will play, cause our country has a great opportunity to achieve something if there are players such as Gaborik or Hossa, Demitra, Chara and Satan. :)
@SeanAveryBroadway Man as you said that my heart just jumped x) Its very good to have such a good player in team, neither in representaton! Along with the Hossa...
I looked on the NHL ESPN Power Rankings and next to the Wild it says a trade is in the works that would send Illya Kovalchuck and Colby Armstrong to the Wild in exchage for Marian Gaborik and Kim Johnsson!! According to the Ottawa Sun. I would take this deal instantly if I was Risebrough! GM Don Wadell of the Thrashers was at the kings and Ducks game on the wild's recent road trip! INTERESTING!! I'm just praying this could get done it would benefit the wild greatly!
Yeah, Slovakia is in the Central Europe, it is a part of European Union and NATO from 2004. Marian Gaborik is with Marian Hossa the best Slovak players, who plays now in NHL. Gaborik had more injuries, so if dont this, he was the better earlier. GO Marian. I enjoy your game :)
Pavol demitra has passed all the goals for him! Big respect for gaborik and R.I.P Demitra !❤
Aspon mu dobre napis meno

I was a few rows below you! I'll always remember the break away
and scoring 5 against lundquist, that man has nightmares about gaborik stilll
Demitra will forever be missed. What a great player he was. This game was awesome.
what happened to him?
@@bruhrengoku2712 digging up an old comment haha! But demitra was killed in the tragic Lokomotiv plane crash
oh I didn’t realize 😂 but still that’s sad..
Gaborik, Demitra, Burns, Bouchard, Shultz damn those were the days though Wild has a great team now too
Dont forget Rolston! That slapshot...
Yeah when it hit :D
rangers had a decent team too but it's great to watch as a hockey fan, but hard to watch as a rangers fan :(
Yah i agree us Senators want Heatley back!
Ya those were the days when our boys didn't suck but now there good Minnesota Wild 2015 Stanley Cup champs

He's still a great player, he's just on a bad team
+Isaiah Harper A great team
He's definetly passed him prime now and It sucks that his career was riddled with injuries. My favourite player. Coming from a leafs fan
Rip Demitra
Gabby numero uno..
I will never forget this game, as a Rangers fan, and also a Gabby fan.
Rest in peace Pavol Demitra, great player and person
RIP Pavol Demitra. great timea in minny...
Dmitra in there. That hit me right in the feels
thank you
Magical Gaborik! Damn Wilds had a great team that season! Gabby, Demitra, Rolston, Parrish, Bouchard, Johnsson, Burns, Schultz ..Backstrom and Fernandez...thats a SC contedner!
Good to have him on our side now. And hes proving that, when healthy, hes one of the very best players in the world.
first two goals, look how collected and calm demitra was, its so unique to him. the other three, well.. i just wish gaborik never left wilds..he was made for this team.
CONGRATS, MARIAN. YOU'RE AN NHL STANLEY CUP CHAMPION NOW!!! WELL-DONE, BUDDY!
;-D
Absolutna fantazia.
Sent shivers down my spine and it does every time I watch it, particularly the last goal was truly amazing, I guess we'll all remember this for years.
masterpiece, piece of art, beauty, i´m so proud of you marian!
Miss him here in Minny, although I'm very happy he has a Stanley cup now!
Gaborik will always be one of my favorites! I miss him in NY, still hoping he comes back next season :D
Wild miss him more
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES
Gaborik and Demitra are Slovak legends ❤️🇸🇰
I came to see Gaborik but man do I miss Pavol Demitra 😞 What a great, underrated player he was 👌 Rest in Peace 🙏
I've never done so much screaming during a sports game before in my life. Seeing him get number five on the breakaway just about gave me heart palpitations.
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES
back in early 00s slovakia had many players in NHL and to this day I remember Gaborik having 5+1, I thought it was an error..what a game.
I've seen this before, but it will never fail to amaze me how much talent this guy has.
All from Slovaks are proud for our best hockey players
Great Player!
Although Im not a Wild fan, he's one of my favorite.
Rangers really screwed themselves getting rid of Gaborik....
You have NO idea how prophetic your comment has become since the Kings wrapped up the Stanley Cup just the other night, lol!!!
XD
PeekaPeep I'm very happy with the trade. Brassard is very, very good. Dorsett was traded to get the Rangers a third round pick, and John Moore was included in a trade that brought in Yandle. Plus we got two mid-round picks... VERY favorable trade, but Gabby has a knack for the net.
Gaborik is still really good on the kings
MrShutupbro yes! Go kings! Go gaborik
Sadly Gaborik has always been one of those "fragile" players that hardly ever play even majority of a single season due to their tendencies for injury. It was a decent trade, good for both parties.
Marian Gaborik is the best!!! I am from Slovakia and I love him
AMAZING! simply amazing this guy!
Great player. I'm glad he will win the Stanley Cup very soon.
And win it he did just now! Deserved it, too.
:-)
woow! we are so proud in slovakia that we have such an amazing hockey player like gaborik is:) hope that next season will be much much better for him,that he will avoid injuries and who knows....maybe we´ll see 5 goals in one game again :)) we´ll keep our fingers crossed.....MARIAN, DO TOHO :)

i'm a finn and a ducks fan, but gaborik is one of my fave players! he's awesome! :)
Who is from Slovakia: LIKE :D
Oi, stop begging for likes you naughty women!
Meow out!
Have to give it to you Minny fans, you guys are great, your playoff games give me chills.
even as a ranger fan i can smile watching this
two hits in mid-air - two goals! JUST AMAZING!
you have to agree, his sniping skills and sense for scoring is something else... too bad he is injured very often
i agree
I agree, he is not the best in the world, but I think he is one of the most skilled hockey players in NHL! So quick and so good...I am from Slovakia too
I hope Minnesota once again become contenders... coming from a Canucks fan too, their fans are among the most loyal US fans, through thick and thin, they deserve better than what they've got from the management for the past few losing seasons.

I still love watching this

Jiltedin2007.. he played Rangers after this... actually this game started the desire to get him to NY
he tried to do the same thing tonight against Toronto but he scored 4 :(
Gaborik is a beast!
Good luck in Columbus Marian! Thanks for everything!
marian Gaborik ROCKS he has just taken over the captian position on the team
Legendary performance, the anticipation on that 5th goal could have been cut with a knife.
The wild are dull as hell without this guy.
Rip Pavol Demitra Rip Aaron Voros' career
I've never seen a player in the NHL net 5 goals in 1 game! That was truly amazing.
it wasn't on tv in minnesota for no real reason... on my way to a friends house i heard something about "gaborik has 5" on the radio, and it tuned out, still in the 3rd period. i called around to see if it was 5 goals or 5 points and i was pumped when i found out it was 5 goals. gabby is the new bure, can't wait until he wins fastest skater in the all-star skill competition
5 goals is ridiculous
Marián,we are proud of you!Well done man.Go Slovakia go !!!
hes great. this season hes been really pumped up
yeah i was at this game, gaborik had a chance to score #6 on a power play late in the game but the rangers' backup goalie made a ridiculous save. still a sweet game!! gaborik is awesome, doesn't get enough credit because he's always hurt.
That was such a good team that year. Gaborik, Demitra, Rolston, Burns, Koivu, and Backstrom. Gaborik is God
on gabby's 5th, everytime i watch it i get goosebumps. Amazing player
Go Wild!
Gaborik is pretty damn good, he always played in the most stiffling defensive system that Jaques Lemaire always employed, never let him run loose once in awhile and never let him pad his stats during a blowout and most importantly was always injured.

One of the best int he NHL. Go Wild. Minnesota is the state of hockey! Sold out every home game since the Wild came into the league. Wild is Big time here
He's my big hero:) I like him. Slovak rocket!:)
I'm a Ranger fan but this was a magical night. amazing performance by Gaborik.
I'm proud that I'm Slovak..this is just awesome
I love how he's now playing for the team that he did this against. I boy am I glad he's with the Rangers. If we didn't have him, the Rangers would be dead.
that video made me cry tears of joy...
Player Nr. 38 Pavol DEMITRA and Nr. 10 is Marian GABORIK. Great guys. R. I. P. Mr. Demitra. ❤❤❤
All Slovakia player are so good :)
players*
and therefore they didn't win even one match in the olympics :D good logic
MartianCZ please czech republik is not anothers :D. bad cry...
:DDD To čo si daal :D
two goals out of mid-air? what a beast
one man show
i was there.. most exciting thing i have witnessed in my life
damn I remember watching this on ESPN in 2007, I never would have thought he'd be on my team one day.
he was on my fantasy team that night. it was awesome.
Fantázia Marián :o) To sa ani nedá komentovať, iba si to púšťať stále dookola!
Gaborik is just amazing. It makes me sad to watch this since I'm from Minnesota myself. ohhhh it hurts :(
thats good old time hockey
american pronunciation of his name is really funny :D
at least they know he´s from Slovakia :)
Guhbrik :)
I think Gaborik is a very underrated player, when hes not having any problems with injure and such stuff hes just as good as the big guys like ovechkin and crosby
he is the best! :)
its encouraging that a wild fan feels that way on what i consider a trade that banks on potential instead of proof. the jury is still out on staal, and i think its safe to say that gabbys value has never been lower
im still not giving up on this guy, injuries or not he is an absurdly talented player, and i think him and crosby could make marvelous music together as long as its about winning and not just money (of course it was about winning with hossa, who set the gold standard for wingers)
And the crowd went wild..
i'm no wild fan (or rangers fan for that matter) but i really hope gaborik can stay healthy this year. his aim is ARGUEABLY the best in the league.
gaborik is a king ... i hope he can get over his health issues and return to form... that last goal is his specialty.... intercept the puck near the blue line and speed burst past everyone chasing; then snipe on the waiting goalie
saying "it's Five!" so the move really strong to me goosebumps!
i would love to see him play the entire season as he has the ability to score goals like none other in the league, even better than ovechkin
5 goals...goalie's worst nightmare. Go go Gaborik!
unbelivable player....unbelievable stick technique, unbelivable speed....
There's like 2 years left on Gabby's contract. He isn't going anywhere near the Wild. He's the BEST there is. :)
when ever gaborik goes on a breakaway, u kno shits bout to go down
This man is the BEST..
We are proud of you Mayo Gaborik ,SVK
2014 SCF preview
Great player, the best one IMO, i am already looking forward Vancouver Olympics and i hope he will play, cause our country has a great opportunity to achieve something if there are players such as Gaborik or Hossa, Demitra, Chara and Satan. :)
@SeanAveryBroadway
Man as you said that my heart just jumped x) Its very good to have such a good player in team, neither in representaton! Along with the Hossa...

I'm just praying this could get done it would benefit the wild greatly!
why dont I remeber this game? I must have selectively forgot it... Thats wicked.
this is a prime example of how good Gaborik is when he's healthy
thats some phenomenal hand/eye and from that far out? he is just unreal. its just that he doesn't play! haha Go Wild!
15 years ago now... Such a dominant performance
yeah. he was a great player.
Yeah, Slovakia is in the Central Europe, it is a part of European Union and NATO from 2004.
Marian Gaborik is with Marian Hossa the best Slovak players, who plays now in NHL. Gaborik had more injuries, so if dont this, he was the better earlier. GO Marian. I enjoy your game :)
doobs and gaborik came to eat at my restaurant last night..mad chill
