I often say how proud I am to be a Flames fan. This thread is making me question that.
Kipper put this franchise on his back and now is being crucified for wanting to retire to spend time with his family. This was what was assumed would happen when the contract was signed and now people are mad because he doesn't want to play hockey anymore. He suffered an MCL injury and has a newborn going through extra issues this year. Are you really mad over missing out on a 3rd round draft pick in return for the best goalie our franchise has ever seen? If at your job you had one year left of work and they wanted to ship you to Toronto, wouldn't you consider retirement? I would.
Kipper was a soldier of Calgary. Honour him!
