This team has lost two of the best players it has ever had this past year, leaving behind a team without an identity. It was not a good year. There can be no "replacements" for these two. Fans of this team have to hope management can somehow repopulate with quality, character players that can not only get the job on the ice done but engage the hearts of the fan base. The two do not necessarily go hand in hand and it will probably be a long while before we see a Flames team we can feel the same way about, again. Good luck rebuilding Flames, hope you have the people on board to do the job properly.
And, all the best Kipper, I'll miss those breath-taking saves and your calm, cool, nonchalance during trying times!
MOO
