Kiprusoff is by far my most favourite Flame of all times. I doubt anyone else will be, ever. Those of us that are old enough still remember the gloomy seven years of mediocrity and no playoffs from 1996 to 2003 until Miikka single-handedly brought the team back to confidence and success. For that alone, #34 should hang off the rafters.
I've had a pleasure of meeting and talking to him quite a bit and to say he's shy is a gross understatement. The man not just disliked, but hated the hype and attention from the press, fans and even from his own teammates, which is why I am very excited about this interview.
There is one thing still bothering me: why did he not agree to play one more season, when everyone was literally begging him to stay and why did he leave the way he left. I hope he'll talk about it.
