Gaborik Snipes Lundqvist

After scoring his first goal on Henrik Lundqvist, Marian Gaborik did his best Artem Anisimov impression…

Here’s Gaborik on the celebration (via Blueshirts United)…

“I was thinking about it before the game if I score on Henrik. I wouldn’t do it to any other (goalie), but I wanted to do it against Henrik to get a celebration there.”

Lundqvist on Gaborik…

“He got me, what can I say?,” Lundqvist said with a smile in the post-game locker room. “I only saw the end of his ‘Anisimov’. I was too angry having allowed that goal to him. But give him credit, Gaby had a great day today and I am really happy for him. It was a really fun weekend here in Ottawa.”

Lundqvist added this about Gaborik, who now has scored seven goals on Hank in the last two games against, on Twitter

“Need to sign for life in NY, can’t stop this guy..”

…Gaborik and Lundqvist’s friendship was on full display this weekend. You can tell that they have a very close relationship. Which was fun to watch. Loved all the chirping.

…having said that, you know the celebration must have really chapped Lundqvist.
