Flames management still is on the win now philosophy and wants a playoff team I thought. I never heard them retract the playoffs or else statement. Did I miss something?
- jerseyleaf

they didnt say playoffs or else...they said it was their goal to make the playoffs as it should be for any team

Calgary is not adding a goal tender, some of you guys have no idea...they want to see what they have in Ramo and Berra. Joey Mac was good last season and can fill in if need be (he was far better than Kipper)

For (frank)s sake can someone please ban this idiot already?

To be fair, it wasn't really that either. It was more along the lines of the marching orders are to make the playoffs.

So ya, it wasn't 'or else' but it certainly wasn't as tame as 'our goal is'. There is a reason Feaster was quick to clarify the statement realizing that it was a media poop storm about to blow.

Seriously....

did kipper retire?

Embrace the suckage and stack those high draft picks. Took ten years but worked wonders for us.

Who?

did kipper retire?
- xXwagzXx

Yes. Aside from having an official announcement yet, he has/is about to retire.

with what Ramo's getting paid, it should be Ramo

Berra's gotta start in Abbotsford, no? Numbers weren't great in the NLA, may wanna see where hes at in a worthless game(AHL)

Hypothetically, if Kipper didn't retire, do you think he's be the starter (at the beginning of the year)?

Nope... as sad as that is to say... we are in full Edmonton Oilers mode now... we don't want to seriously win games...
(sorry dre had to start something...)

I don't think so....if he wants to play next year he will get traded.

You can't be in Oilers mode yet... you jettisoned a bunch of old guys without getting the #1 pick... You're supposed to keep those guys for a few years...

Pulling an "Oilers" requires a rare alignment of the stars which causes all your old overpaid guys to suck, your kids to be too young (or any good) to contribute, your goalie has to be forced to wear pink for a few weeks, and you have to bury the only decent players you have left in the minors becuase they dared to speak ill of the team.

EDIT: oh, and injuries, you need a good 400 man games lost to injury per season...

Then you'll be on the Oilers track, for now, you're just hoping for a tank season while your kids "develop".

So in other words, we need to suffer for 7 more years before we know how you feel?

Thanks for the laugh. Can't wait for 4-5 yrs from now when we (hopefully) have a real BoA back up and running.

Me too bud... I'd just like to see the Oil beat on the Flames for a few years first. Y'know, return the favour.

It would build up the hate on your side as well.
