No,it sounds like Feaster is acting appropriately and professionaly. I know everyone on here is gushing over "how cool" it is that Kipper makes backhanded comments and is "too awesome" to hold a press conference and just "tells it like it is" in real casual conversations. I agree, I like much of that attitude about him, his laid back demeanor is pretty cool.
But, the retirment of as many have said, one of the greatest Flames of all time, and a multi million dollar employee isn't something you take lightly. Good for the Flames for not jumping on something until Kipper actually officially informs them and lets them know his decision, versus jumping to conclusions because Kipper made some off hand comment to someone in Finland versus directly too him.
Kipper owes the Flames an official decision that he communicates to them directly, not just saying something over in Finland in hopes the twitisphere sends it to Calgary, and if he hasn't done that (and it appears he hasn't) then Feasters comments are completely appropriate. He knows what's likely to happen, but he'd be an idiot to announce anything until Kipper does him the courtesy of an official notification.
