Not a fan of KKings forever a Flame program.
Its bush league that he tried to quantify it to the Leafs player honor program.
They have what 70 years more of history.
The Forever a Flame is a complete cop out.
I have said it before the Flames ownership and KKing have some weird hang up about honoring/retiring past players. It has nothing to do with player numbers either.
As for Kipper they will never retire Kippers number and they will give him a Forever a Flame when he is old and the kids have to be reminded how great he was because the Flames have become notorious for harboring grudges and ohhh God forbid Kipper didn't allow them to trade him and then he retired and went off the grid.
So for that the ownership and KKing will snub him for as long as they want. Just like other Flames greats continue to be snubbed.
