Goodbye Kipper, it's really too bad we will never see him be a god again.

There's a real special relationship between Kiprusoff and Calgary. Thanks for an amazing decade, sir!

The turning point for the Calgary Flames franchise occurred on November 14th 2003, when they acquired the most important player of the last 20 years for the team.

Very fortunate to have been able to see such a great goalie here for so many years, he always made it very hard to write Calgary off in any given year. Best of luck Kipper!!

No surprise. He had already said this to a Finnish newspaper. Burke when hired also said that Kipper was retired.

Finally "official", despite having known he was retired for months.

Unfortunate not to go out with a championship, but other than that, his last home start was a very fitting end to his career. Great moment and way to go out for him and the fans.

Easily, the best high way robbery trades (in a good way) in franchise history.

Thank you Kipper. Every goal scored against us from here on out I will think "Kipper would have had that."
