Josh Gorges: A Forgotten Prospect

[Habsfan84]

I think Josh Gorges has something to offer the Habs this year.

In a funny way, some fans are dismissing Gorges as some small Sharks cast-off. A veteran who couldn't cut it in the West. Well, he's no such thing. If Josh Gorges were drafted and bred in Hamilton, then I feel that Canadiens fans would be calling for him in Montreal.



Some things you should know about Josh:



1) His last name is Gorges (not Georges)

2) He is younger than bona fide prospect O'Byrne

3) He cracked the Sharks at age 21, youg for a defenseman and already has 104 games in the NHL under his belt at 23

4) He was the captain of his junior team

5) He led a team with only one current NHLer (Shea Weber) to a Memorial Cup (2003-04)

6) He was born the same day (one year earlier) than Weber his Kelowna teammate

7) He posted 15 points in 17 games in that Cup run (2003-04)

8) He was better than point-per-game in 2002-03 in both the regular season and in the playoffs (20 points in 19 games in the playoffs)

9) Played for Team Canada at WJCs
