Either Kipper decided some time ago and he and the Flames have been waiting for each other to make it official or it's based on old information and the Flames are more up to date.
I mean, to be clear, this comes from team Finland's head coach who reluctantly related the information in the press conference where they made their Sochi list public. So Kipper had told him that he's retiring and if the Flames have not said anything by the time the list is revealed, the coach can say it.
