Kinda funny that "Forever A Flame" appears to be a consolation prize for those who don't meet criteria like sticking around and making an ongoing impact in the community.. May be incorrect though.

Mkre I think about it, if anything the FaF program should actually be a special status that exceeds number retirement as a way of recognizing ongoing community involvement.

In its current incarnation the whole thing just feels second rate. We may as well change the name to "remember a flame ? ??" (Possibly a fourth question mark). a black oval over the players face with a big white question mark.. maybe one of the numbers visible on the jersey is replaced with a question mark too (sorry lanny :/).. actually instead of a banner, let's just do outlines of the players in a colouring book that comes with Happy Meals at the McDonald's that would be the only culinary experience available at our new arena BECAUsE NOTHING IS SACREd ANYMORE

Really though if iginla isn't retired I'll be pissed
