Little disappointing for me to read the words, "crapped on by the organization." This only became public when someone affiliated with the Leafs made it public. As for Gorges loving Montreal and not wanting a trade? Fantastic. But this is the business of winning a Stanley Cup, not keeping heart-and-soul guys who aren't difference-makers. Don't get me wrong, I love Gorges. Love who and what he is. However if Bergevin makes the team better, then isn't that what it's all about? And how is making a business decision crapping on a player? It sucks, it's tough, but it's not crapping. It's business. The GM's who are willing to make these very tough decisions are the ones who end up building winners.
Not that I don't agree with the vast majority of what you say, Cuke. I'm just not comfortable with that particular phrase.
