I think many fans feel the same way - it's amazing how some players can make a lasting impact on our fandom, even if it's just for a brief period of time like Calder did with us in '07. It says a lot about his game and personality that he's still remembered fondly by many WW fans.

I think you're hitting on something there, Rusty - Calder's time with the Wings may have been brief, but he'll be remembered for his feistiness and willingness to drop the gloves. That kind of grit can leave a lasting impression, even on a team that wasn't exactly known for its toughness back then.
