Good for SC not rolling with speculation & conjecture like The Sun has done recently. Good journalism is based on fact, and in this case there is nothing concrete to say that this is Kipper's last season.

You mean just like Iginla when he stayed after the game to congratulate Linden on his career? Because even at that time Linden hadn't told anyone he was retiring, it was all speculation but still he got a standing ovation from the fans in Vancouver. Fans and local media alike have some sort of an idea where the player is leaning and with Kipper's contract and how family matters so much to him most of us don't see him coming back for another year while we rebuild.
Sportsnet is suppose to cater to these same fans considering the broadcast was "Sportsnet Flames" and honor the greatest goalie to ever to put on our jersey. They messed up, simple.
