Josh Gorges vu par San Jose

Je suis allé faire un tour sur le forum du site des Sharks de San Jose afin d'avoir une idée de qui est ce jeune défenseur acquis par le CH en retour de Rivet. Voici quelques commentaires. Jugez par vous même... Pour les lire tous, (il y en a une centaine!) suivez ce lien: http://boards.sjsharks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=127

"Rivet is still an upgrade, but I would've liked a forward going the other way.
Not me. I would have done anything to be rid of Gorges......"

"Pretty much anyone is an upgrade over Gorges."

"No tears here as well for Gorges"

"Gorges is ok for a fillup role .. He had some good moments for a while but then faded away. Has a hard time covering big players (and some of the fast ones)."

"Gorges notoriously sucked, and was like 40 lbs underweight."

"The only thing that hurt about this trade was the 1st round pick. Gorges might just as well have been a bag o pucks."

"And whoever said Gorges was a future 2-3 has been out in the sun too long."

"And any trade that gets rid of Gorges is good really."

"we got rid of a perrenial AHL defenseman that only saw NHL time out of necessity (it was a crap shoot of who was going to suck the least that night, gorges, murray or davison)"

"Gorges has no potential. He was the worst player on the team."


Et ça se poursuit encore longtemps. En fait, je n'ai pas lu un seul commentaire sympathique à l'endroit de Gorges. Il ne faut donc pas s'attendre à le voir déloger un des six défenseurs actuels du Canadien. Peut-être au moins est-il un upgrade sur Niinimaa. Espérons...

Oh, je viens de trouver un commentaire moins négatif:

"I have to disagree with your view that Gorges was the team's worse player. That designation would have to fall to Murray or Davison. That's why Gorges played in many more games and averaged more ice time than the other two. That being said, Josh was nothing to write home about."

Au moins, SJ ne nous a pas envoyé leur pire joueur!
