Thought Vernon was a bit of a choke artist tbh, but a cup win erases a whole lot of bad goals.
I personally don't think Kipper deserves a retired number. Kind of on the bubble. The team had one magical run where he played half the season. He was the best on the planet for a while (better than Vernon), but the team was middling to mediocre for the majority of his tenure and couldn't get out of the first round. Is it enough to be a good player on a meh team?
Too bad they were never able to build a decent team around Kipper and Iggy. Couple guys that deserved better. If Gelina's goal counts in game 6, this wouldn't even be a debate. #itwasin
