Sorry, I didn't know you spoke to Miikka directly.

This is the definition of Unofficial, from the Calgary sun;

"Reportedly, the Calgary Flames netminder told members of the Finnish national team: “If Calgary has not announced it, you guys can do that.” Consider that message — which was passed on to a Finnish news agency, then noticed by journalist Juha Hiitela, then translated into English, then turned it loose on Twitter — dutifully relayed to the hockey world.

Later Tuesday, a source close to Kiprusoff said the Finn is 100 per cent set on retiring. (The source also conceded that, sigh, there remains the slight possibility of a change of heart.)"
