orangegoalie 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Ok, so i was pretty excited to get Calder into the Winged Wheel. And my buddy was saying he better produce cause he kinda liked Williams (wierd huh?). Anyway he scored and had an assist last night and i was telling him there ya go. He replys to me "Cory Cross scored in his first game". I just sat their upset and dissapointed that he was right. CALDER IF YOU CAN READ THIS, SCORE ANOTHER ONE TO SEPERATE YOURSELF FROM CORY CROSS...... Anway i thought that was funny. Also i cant wait to see BIG BERT wreck people in the playoffs. I think the wings finally got what they have needed for years. A physical hard hitting winger, with a rocket of a shot that finds its way to the back of the net A LOT! But also if Calder can regain his form from his days in Chicago (not the 1 day he was in limbo before being traded here) But his Rookie and Soph year, He's gonna be an AWSOME Addition to the Wings!!!! Playoffs '07 Couldnt Come Any Sooner!!!!!! HEY HEY HOCKEYTOWN!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeeSpot82 10 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Something tells me that Kyle Calder will be making a larger contribution to the Red Wings than Cory Cross ever did. We NEEDED help on the second line (or at least in the forward ranks, should he fall to a different line), whereas last season, we had a great team of defensemen. Cross was brought in as a depth player, and everyone knew that. This season, we needed Calder to add some spark. That need for a spark won't go away when the playoffs start. However, to echo your request -- SCORE MORE GOALS, KC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 I would be more worried about whether Bert will be the next Cross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinWing 26 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Cross doesn't equal Calder by any stretch of imagination. About the only thing in common will be this first shift and a goal thing. Cross was only acquired to provide depth whereas Calder is probably top-six material among our forwards. As for the Williams matter, Calder >>> Williams.

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 Honest to god, I could die a happy human being if I never had to see "croy cros olol" on these boards ever again. How people can misunderstand that move so completely and totally is beyond my ability to comprehend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hillbillywingsfan 792 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 wow..if anyone watched the game last night and watched calder would already know that hes nothing like cross..would it of been better for everyone on here that he not score? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted February 28, 2007 I would be more worried about whether Bert will be the next Cross That's my fear. He's only played 7 games this season, is coming off a back injury, and hasn't really been great since the Moore incident. There's the distinct possibility he won't be a factor for Detroit this playoffs. Bert could be the next Uwe Krupp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
