#26 - Josh Gorges 2008-09


AK-1

Recommended Posts

I love the guy -- super attitude, dedicated, hard working, but still has fun. I can see why he and Price have hit it off.

Gorges shot "skipped" which likely fooled McDonald. Hey, Gorges almost had a second goal (was it in OT) when he went right to the net -- there was room upstairs, he just couldn't get it up there.

I think it was in OT.

This guy is pretty dependable defensively. Glad to see him pot one, and I sure as heck wouldn't argue if he nabbed a few more, but his defensive worth alone is where it's at.

Gorges almost has 100 goals.

He seems to have a knack for being in a spot able to score. he just cant close.

I remember last seasone everyone kept feeding him the puck near the end he had like 100 chances. None went in

Im sure with the 1st goal off his chest, his confidence will grow.

I have to admit his slapshot from the point was amazing last game... not only did it leave a Fat rebound time and time again. But he actually HIT THE NET, unlike markov

is it just me or was it uncharacterstic of carbo not to use gorges on the pp after his goal? i was looking for him but was disappointed i didn't see him.

if they're going to be experimenting...why not use him?

Yes, I suppose you could say "uncharachteristic" -- Carbo does things like puts in game scorers in the same game shoot-out (e.g., remember Robert Lang first game of season .... once (only, TGFT!!) -- disaster!! :lol: ).

I had the feeling Gorges got on at the very tell end of that PP -- not so much a PP move, as get the tired D changed before PP expired. There certainly wasn't anything special about Gorges shot -- I saw it skip and that seemed to fool McDonald.

Gorges on the PP would certainly be shaking things up though!

My first preference for "shaking things up" would be Begin or Kosto in front of the goal. Lang has done sweet-all in that position lately (except the one goal from the slot on a pass from Koivu) -- he doesn't seem to stand in front of the goalie nor get his stick on any point shots for deflections.
