Since he began his career nine years ago, Gaborik has missed over 100 games due to some form of injury, 38 stemming from last season's hip surgery.Losing Gaborik for any period of time would bedevastating especially if that injury didn't come while wearing a Rangers jersey.Lundqvist, on the other hand, was not the same person after he returned from his Gold Medal performance in 2006.Prior to the Games, Lundqvist was a superb 25-7-6, backstopping the Rangers to a very surprising season.After he returned from Torino, Lundqvist only won five of his last 13 games, and allowed 12 goals in three games against the New Jersey Devils, as the Rangers were swept in the first round of the playoffs.I will most likely watch every Team USA game during the Games, and I hope Drury, Callahan, and the rest of the young American team does well.
