Some things are a lot more important than a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
When Kiprusoff retires, I very much hope it is as a Flame, and I will stand up and applaud what has been a truly remarkable career.

There is probably no way this wont seem like a smart-ass post but it is a sincere question.
"Carried the team on their backs" to where exactly? 4 years in the wilderness?
If the team had had more success, I would completely agree but remind me what we are "honouring", 7 seasons of mediocrity post 2004?
#12, #34 and #4 all became wealthy men playing for the Flames. They entertained us. I don't see the reason for the idolatry.
