If nothing else you know it'll be live on the Fan 960. Sigh at work so I'm forced to listen in, even if it was televised.

Oh and 6'1" 190lbs of pure nerd fury.

Assuming they can get a hook up down there before it goes down. According to Boom this morning the Fan currently has no audio from the dome.

What if the presser is just to officially announce Kipper's retirement?

What if it's to announce Burke, have him introduce Kipper who walks out in the new jersey to the new goal song, and then announces his retirement?

You know your team is getting a backwards deal when moon approves of it.

Haha wouldn't that be something? I'd be OK with jerseys or Kipper announcements, however with all this Burke speculation it would be kinda disappointing. The goal song won't be unveiled until the home opener I believe.

2 hours until we find out what Burke's role is with the Flames. I am really hoping he gets GM job, but i don't think he will.


As for the posters giving their height and weight..LOL, the only measurements that matter are these:

9.5 inches and i use it like a porn star.

Given the direction of the team the last 5 seasons we could use a little backwards.

If this really is to give Burk a role as president of some sort and Feaster stays as GM, that is just inviting all sorts of GM controversy and tiffs over who is running the show, etc. Why would they intentionally want to set themselves up for that.

4'1 and why are my clothes on fire.
