Tell me, at what point is the Finnish Nation team less credible than the Calgary Flames to you? By your logic, if he tells the Calgary Flames he's retiring from hockey and a reporter reports it, it's just a rumour!

Please, explain the difference between these two:
Kipper tells Finnish team he's retiring from hockey - Finnish team reports it to news - News spreads

Kipper tells Flames he's retiring from hockey - Flames team reports it to news - News spreads

Go ahead and tell me what makes one a rumour to you. As I said, Feaster backed up the report, simply hoping he'd take time and change his mind. Why would Feaster address a rumour as fact? You don't hope a 'rumour' changes.
The difference between a Finnish newspaper and the Calgary Flames is, he is an employee of the Calgary Flames. Again, where did I say it wasn't true? All I said is that it hasn't been made official by the Calgary Flames. Until then it doesn't mean anything.
How come capgeek didn't remove him from their site yet? How come he hasn't been removed from the Flames lineup on the home page? BECAUSE IT ISN'T OFFICIAL YET.

I know you just want to argue, but pick your battles.
