Kipper is Retiring
A Finnish correspondent for the NHL:
@jhiitela: Kiprusoff has told to Finnish national team that he is retiring. "If Calgary has not announced it, you guys can do that." #Flames #Kipper

Just got the alert from my score app. Kipper is a legend. The flames should honor 34 next season

Wonder if we can trade him to NYI to help them reach cap floor, like Boston did with Thomas. Bittersweet in that I'm glad he's going out a Flame, but kinda choked we didn't get an asset for him. Hopefully he can be convinced to postpone filing papers until Feaster looks at possibility of dealing his contract to a cap floor team.

This makes me sad. His last game is one of those moments I will never forget.
He's on the flames Mount Rushmore for sure.

Probably for the best, but I'd be a liar if a part of me didn't want one more year.
All the best Kipper

We all knew he was done after this season, but it still sucks to hear it confirmed.
Definitely one of the Flames all-time best. Too bad he couldn't get his ring in '04.

Best goalie in Flames history. Still can't believe he made that save on Wellwood a few years ago with his paddle. I was there and the whole crowd gave him a rousing standing ovation!

Liked him way more than Iginla and think he is the reason why we don't have some top young players on our roster (winning us games we had no business winning)
Best of luck to Kipper!
Phaneuf, Regehr, Bouwmeester, Langkow, Iginla, Kipper, Jokinen all gone now. Soon to be Cammalleri and Tanguay. Wow, have we come a far way over the past few seasons going in as "contenders"

I remember how excited I was to see the Flames get such an awesome goaltender. My username was not chosen halfheartedly.
Now, Berra is King? Ramo is King?

I already miss him. I'm really happy that he got to end his career with some really good performances.
