You take me to task because I don't buy your 'most supporters don't want him back' comment? Get off your high horse man. I read the entirety of your post and stand by the fact that he scored the most goals on the club and that won't be easy to replace. I seriously doubt that Cavalry will have a season as good as this first in terms of W/D/L in the next five years, maybe more. Another thing is if they can grab a trophy regardless. It is so classless just to diss their key players in the amazing success of the team for petty baseless motives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came up to me after in the boarding area and wished me a safe flight, as he was on the team flight a half hour earlier. He didn't have to do that. I respect the guy.

Ivan Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 21 hours ago, Obinna said: I for one am excited about Cordova. He scored a lot of goals in the Peruvian second division. I see he did so most recently with Juan Aurich, which was surprising as I never knew they got relegated. I thought they were a solid first division club. I now see though that their history is hmm...complicated. they went through some restructuring in the recent past, it seems. Regardless, they have a current Panamanian international on their books and have won Copa Peru in 2007, so for Cavalry to get one of their top strikers is quite an achievement. I am sure he will make up for the loss of Malonga, if he indeed leaves Calgary. On the CPL web site, they have Cordova listed as Canadian on the Calgary roster (in and out article). That can't be true, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue interest in the national team has never been higher in Calgary, at least since I have been following them. You can also get rational conversation on the national team, and Cavalry, in many more places now. There's more Cavalry talk on CalgaryPuck then there ever will be here. Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't go out of my way to frequent a hockey message board just for Cavalry banter. I get what I need around here. And besides, I am more of a country over club sort of guy. That's why I keep coming back here. If there's a better place for national team talk I haven't heard of it. Cool to know Cavalry are discussed elsewhere though. The community has seemed to embrace the club! The success of Cavalry is fantastic for the local game here in Calgary. It gives our talent something to strive for and provides a critical rung in the player development ladder. Most importantly though (for me), a successful Cavalry ultimately lends itself to the Canadian national team! From that perspective, I wish all of our professional clubs success, but of course I support my local cpl club before the others... nolando, Ruffian, CANMNT_SUPERFAN and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Regardless, a key piece of the core returning is a big plus for the club. I hope he continues to build on his cv. Obinna and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Where is Buscher going? I thought he was a great piece to their puzzle and he'll be a loss for sure. Lofty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Buscher is a very important player, more so than Adekugbe. I like both of them and hope they both return, but if Adekugbe signs on with Valerenga, it would be such a success on so many levels. Elijah would not get such an opportunity if he was still playing with Foothills. Kudos for Cavalry for putting him the exposure for such a trial. I am getting ahead of myself, but if he signs with them and actually starts playing for them, I think CanMNT call-ups could soon follow...

I was a little surprised that Adekugbe's minutes tapered off later in the season, but I think Wheeldon did a good job overall rotating between the two of them. Competition is good.
