The man had his limitations but his mental fortitude and character are off the charts.
A true Hab and someone I wish was with us when we win the cup.
A shame he only had to wait one more year too.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - In seven-plus seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Josh Gorges faced the Toronto Maple Leafs 36 times. This past summer, the hatred he built up for Montreal's arch-rival over the years changed the course of his career.
We need to establish the length of the punishment. 1 month? 1 season?
Not really lolProbably one of the most popular, loyal, beloved Habs of the past decade or two besides Koivu and Price.
Not really lol
Okay. Well, I'll step up and say I was one of them.Not really lol
Sure he was a team player but I wouldn't go as far as saying he was one of the most popular and beloved Habs. Especially not towards the end of this playing career in Montreal.Everyone was demanding he be captain from 2009-2012 and he rejected a trade to Toronto while leading the league in blocked shots every year. Gorges was a team player for the Habs.

I still remember the game where he went down to block a shot. It hit him right on the back of the helmet. I thought for sure he was dead, or at the very least knocked out. What a warrior, and a great team player.
He was kind of like Craig Rivet. Not real good in any one aspect of the game but an extremely loyal, hard working and respected player. The one difference was Rivet brought a toughness element (fighting ability) that Gorges didn't really have. If I recall they may have been traded for one another.
