I agree. He's 44. Maybe he'll win or contend a few more times, and then at 50, he can dominate the senior tour for a few years.

You don't need to win to make huge money in the PGA...just make some top 10s from time to time.

Meh. He was on 17. Kept hitting it in the rough. Ended up saving bogey.

Montreal Canadiens

Their offseason so far: The Habs lost Brian Gionta and Thomas Vanek to free agency, as expected, while signing underrated defenseman Tom Gilbert and trading for P.A. Parenteau. They also re-signed veteran Andrei Markov and landed free-agent prospect Jiri Sekac.

But their strangest move was: Trying to trade Josh Gorges to the Maple Leafs, only to have him block the deal with his no-trade clause and choose to go to the Sabres instead. This was weird, right? Gorges claimed he was too emotionally invested in the Habs/Leafs rivalry to go to Toronto, which sounds like a reasonable thing for a player to say, as long as that player is 5 years old. Gorges is not 5 years old, so it’s fair to assume there’s a real story behind his decision that he’s not telling us.

Bizarro-meter reading: 6.4/10. That’s not a bad score, but it could have been so much better if the P.K. Subban negotiations had turned ugly. Instead, the two sides are headed to arbitration. Where were you when we need you, random crazy Philadelphia Flyers offer sheet?

i don't understand what's so hard to believe about Gorges not wanting to go to Toronto.

it's all the disadvantages of playing for the habs with increased suckiness and a dysfunctional management group.

i could see the point of people being confused by it if he only had 1 year left on his deal. but he has 4 years left. this isn't going to be a short stop for him.

it's just a percentage thing.


99.9% of all hockey players have always dreamt of playing for the Leafs.

eventually you'll run into that 0.1 who didn't.

not sure if you see what they're doing in Buffalo...
but that could be a very fast, very effective rebuild.
and before you mention Edmonton... trading for Josh Gorges and signing Matt Moulson is EXACTLY the kind of thing that Edmonton failed to do.

whatever. but Buffalo will likely suck this year and the Isles might be hot garbage too. when you consider that they only really blew the whole thing up less than a year ago, they just seem to be on a fast track.

But going with Enroth and Neuvirth is exactly the kind of thing Edmonton would do.
