Am I a little choked that the team wants to move Kipper and he won't go? Yes
Do I understand that family issues have come in to Kipper's decision making process and as a result he doesn't want to go? Absolutely
Will I continue to cheer Kipper because he is still a member of this team retiring or not? Yes
Kipper has earned my respect and I will continue to support him as long as he is here. It is absolutely selfish of me to want him traded for another draft pick that could be a washout or a hall-of-famer.
To suggest booing him is asinine. He gave us as fans more than our moneys worth when compared to other goalies in the league.
His number will justifiyingly be retired/honoured and until he no longer pulls on the Flaming C he will remain a member of the team that I am unapologetically a fan of. Every player on the team is a player I am a fan of because I am a fan of the team.
