musicalhab Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think he will be on the 3rd pairing.. Break it down Markov-Hammer Spacek-Mara Gill-Gorges ? Yeah, I thought he'd be on the thrid paring I just wanted to hear what everyone is expecting from him this year type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate-the-great_mtl Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 He'll be 1st or 2nd pairing, he is a good d-man who does not get near enough credit, i think he'll ride shot gun with Markov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmerpuck Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Josh is kinda the un-talked about one out of the new D mix it seems. How does everyone think he will fit into the habs this year? Gainey seems to be going with more physicality (is that a word) so I wonder if he's going to tweak some more. But assuming Gorges stays I'd rather see him on the third pairing with Gill. I'd prefer: Markov - Mara Spacek - Hamrlik Gill - Gorges O'Byrne, Weber, Subban Keep things consistent: 1st pairing names start with M, 2nd pairing names end with K and 3rd pairing names start with G.

ChiLla Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Future Captain? Wow. Tom Kostopoulos' first choice anyway, according to the interview with him on team 990. I was probably as surprised as the next guy when hearing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellows_mtl Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 He was the captain for the Kelowna Rockets when he played there. I doubt there will be captain to start the season. However, as the season progresses I think the "C" will end up going to Scott Gomez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshGorgesFan Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yep, Josh captained the Rockets to a Memorial cup, didn't he? And I agree - I'm sure Gomez will soon become our new captain, though in a few years I'd love to see Josh as captain!! And I've said it before, but I also think Gorges doesn't nearly get enough credit... As for pairings, I'd like to see: Markov, Spacek Gorges, Gill Mara, Hamrlik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King-of-Kings95 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I THINK THAT GORGES WILL EXPLODE IN THIS YEAR'S SEASON, HE'S MORE EXPERIENCED AND HAS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF IN THE LEAGUE VERY WELL! WAITING FOR A HUGE SEASON GORGES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidang12 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 haha it's been FOREVER since I've posted on here. But I just had to post something once I saw this thing about him and the C. I will say NO to that. Sure I'd love to see it, but I think there's some other players on the team that would be better suited to have the role of the Capt then Josh would.

pitbull12 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I am not sure if anyone cares but I found this link where this person tries to prank call Josh Gorges...

JB655 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I saw that. I don't know if it's true (Someone could be imitating his voice. It's not like it's not possible). The guy who's caling is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risteenhuis Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Future Captain? Wow. Tom Kostopoulos' first choice anyway, according to the interview with him on team 990. I was probably as surprised as the next guy when hearing this. Markov is the best player and probably the longest running with the team. But I really doubt that Markov will be the captain with the language barriers. Gomez could become the captain. But it would seem strange to me that a new player to the team would be given the "C" as there is no proof that he is worthy of such an honour. Gorges was captain of his junior team. At least twice in his short time in Montreal there have been situations when Gorges has dropped the gloves after a teammate was given a dirty hit. I would be okay with Gorges as our captain. I felt that when he was paired with Markov after the Komi injury in the Lucic fight that he was extremely good on the 1st D pairing. Better then Komi. Captain Gorges with "A" for Markov and "A" for Gomez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrows1367 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 He'll be 1st or 2nd pairing, he is a good d-man who does not get near enough credit, i think he'll ride shot gun with Markov i agree ill think he should that komi's place and play along side markov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshGorgesFan Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Happy Belated birthday to Josh...that prank caller is extremely stupid and it could be Josh on the other end but I doubt it. I also agree that Gorges would be a good captain. He was a good captain of the Rockets and led them to the Memorial Cup. However, I know Gomez is a new player to the team, but I still think that he'll be given the C very soon. Gorges should definitely get an A though, and he will definitely be a future captain (hopefully)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalhab Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Offensively, it would be nice if Josh could give us 6 or 7 goals and add 20-25 assists. I can really see him being a 40 point Dman in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can really see him being a 40 point Dman in a couple years. He as been able to prove a lot of people wrong at numerous times in his career. But a 40 point man!!!! He will need to prove me wrong. Don't get me wrong I love Jorges. What he brings to the ice and the way he continully takes a beating to make the play. I am always astonished that he can just skate away on those hits he continualy takes. His play should inspire any one, especcially the rookies and prospects! I would be happy for him and the Habs if he could develop into a 2 line (4th) Dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames4eva Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I like Gorges... he's a player that never quits. I wish he was 6'4" and weighed 220lbs, which unfortunately is not the case. He is not that small really (think Bouillon... that was small). I hope he can continue to improve as a player... top four, maybe one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy for him and the Habs if he could develop into a 2 line (4th) Dman. Maybe my hopes are a tad far fetched...but he just really impresses with me with a solid first pass out of the zone, he actually moves the puck pretty well (minus the games he was concussed). Last year, he notched 23 points..so if he continues to improve and move up to a permanent 2nd line dman he could starting getting more assists I think.

I would be happy with another +12 and 20-something points again this season. That, to me, is great quality for what we're paying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortwinkler Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Originally I liked Georges because out went Rivet and in came Gorges. But over the last couple years he's really grown on me in his own way. Solid D-man, works hard, can't ask for much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
