26. In doing research for Hotstove Tonight, I was taken aback at how many GMs were angry about Mike Keenan's comments regarding Kiprusoff and the possibility that Jarome Iginla was tampered with. Keenan, who works for Sportsnet, basically said it is was understood the goalie would retire before the last season of his contract. It is worth $1.5 million, significantly less than his average. "[Keenan] was an employee of the team then," one GM fumed. "They can't just get away with that." Another exec said he thought it would be impossible to prove. "That's a long way from having an agreement or handshake that he would walk away."

I'm a little confused by this. Are the GMs angry at Keenan, or the Flames in general?
After all that has happened with Erixon, with Iginla... wouldn't it be the cherry on the top of this season if the Flames were charged for tampering with Kiprusoff, the actions of a GM who is no longer employed by the team, who just won the Stanley Cup as a coach last season.

27. As for Iginla, Hockey Night's Ron MacLean pressed him about contact from Crosby and the Penguins in this Inside Hockey interview. "I didn't talk to [Crosby] before, but he put in a good word," Iginla said. Again, it's very difficult to prove unless you have a paper trail.
