Moments of Miikka's Career (among the hundreds) that I will never forget:
1) Going out in style. His final game, a 2-1 win over Anaheim. A moment that goes down as one of the best at the Dome.
2) Game 6 against Detroit in '04. A 1-0 win in OT. Both him and Joseph put on a clinic that I will never forget.
3) His first game against Montreal. a 6-5 win where he wore white pads and a white mask. It would have been 10-6 without him. We knew that there was something special.
4) Hundreds and hundreds of saves that made us all say 'WOW', and chant 'KIPPER! KIPPER!'.
I know there is almost a 0% chance he reads this, but THANK YOU KIPPER for all the amazing moments. You were loved and adored by every single fan that came into the dome, regardless of who they cheered for. Even Oiler and Canuck fans knew how special you were between the pipes.
