Hats off to Marian Gaborik for becoming the first player in 11 years to score 5 goals in a single game. The last guy to do it was Sergei Federov as a Red Wing. Considering the quality of goaltenders and coaching in today's NHL, scoring five in one night is quite the feat. I believe the only Flame to echo that achievement is Joe Neiuwendyk, back in the relatively freer scoring late-80's.
Mirtle's take here.
