Joey MacDonald is starting tonight

[dash]

and Kipper will address the media after tonight's game against Edmonton. My gut is telling me that Kipper will take a personal leave and that he has played his last NHL game.

Man, first Iggy, now Kipper, it's been a rough week or so sports-wise.

On Trade Center they said the owner of the Flames has told Feaster the team has to make the playoffs next year? dash, is the owner SERIOUS?

lots of good UFAs at seasons end I suppose. but that is a BOLD statement.

I have to agree Dash. I think Kipper played his last game. got the feeling he has lost all fire in the game and its time. he may be sent in in relief but I even doubt that. what do the flames have left for a season 15? Ill be surprised if they win 5 of those.

Alberta hockey fans deserve better than this dual gong show....yeah I know the Oilers are playing well atm but I know it's just a giant tease

Don't worry Dash, as a Sabres fan, I'm rooting for the Flames to win.

I just don't see it. The Flames aren't the only team who's going to have cap space. I know they tend to be able to sign UFA's, but I think the owner is expecting a bit much.

That's sad.

He had a very good career with Calgary. Multiple 40 plus win seasons is nothing to scoff at.

Murray Edwards is a very astute business man, but I don't think his business savvy carries forward to running/operating a hockey team.

Well if the owner wants the Flames to make the playoffs he obviously is willing to spend some serious money this offseason on UFA's. Maybe trade one of those picks for a player who can help the team right away too. It's going to be interesting to see what Feaster does this offseason that's for sure.

If that's the case I'm sorry to hear it. A great career and IMO a class guy.
