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!
What a collection of melo-dramatic teenage girls we have here.

Aside from a magical Stanley Cup run, all Miikka, Jarome et al have led the Flames into was mediocrity.

Please stop romantically referring to them as heroes. You dishonour real heroes.
