[edit] 2004-2005 and 2005-2006

As far as I can see on the NHL website and some others, no calder was awarded in 04-05 and the 2005-2006 trophy was not awarded yet. Please wait for the NHL to annouce it before handing Ovechkin the trophy... BobbyJTHais 16:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Ovechkin isn't even a shoe-in, Dion Phaneuf of the Calgary Flames is a contender also, Crosby though is out of the race. The awards are tonight!! Max.pwnage 15:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calder trophy runner ups

I would like to see this data added to the wiki. Sometimes it's interesting to see when a player wins the Calder and then disappears or is overshadowed by a runner up over the length of a full career. Does anyone know where to get this data?

[edit] Stipulations

What exactly are the stipulations for a "Rookie in the NHL"? Gretzky did not win in his first season because of prior professional experience, whereas Ovechkin won, despite playing pro in Russia. Furthermore, Ken Dryden won it after winning the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe with the Canadiens. 21:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

i believe that the stipulation for gretzky was that if you played in the whl (wha i cant remember what it was called) your were not a contender for the award. the reason dryden won the stanley cup and conn smythe before the calder was because he did not play the required number of games in the nhl to count towards being considered a rookie the year he won the cup. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.110.227.163 (talk) 19:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Can we please add a picture of Bryan Berard here? There is not even a picture of him on his own main page. I have a picture below that was taken the same year he won the Calder: http://i24.tinypic.com/iqamol.jpg Bryan Berard is an inspiration to anyone with a disability.

Is it your image or one you found somewhere? -- Scorpion0422 15:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
