I was driving back from Edmonton (my sister's wedding) the day of the Kipper trade. had 960 on the entire way home, it was a Sunday but they had several stories about the deal. not much was known about Kipper but Peter Maher kept reassuring us that Sutter told him he specifically targeted this player and that he was going to be something special
Kipper rang off a few early wins (Montreal and ?) then I went to the game against Colorado- I remember thinking the guy made me really nervous he looked a bit shaky. Flames lost that game in OT I think. that was the last time that year I felt that way about Kipper
