Kipper Not So Kipper

Fake Press

Calgary, Alberta, Canada (FP) - Just when you thought Miikka Kiprusoff was human, he has now claimed to possess super-human powers of foretelling the future. Unfortunately, this doesn't bode well as his tellings aren't very positive for his NHL club.


The Calgary Flames open a seven game homestand tonight against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. The Finnish goaltender, fresh off of a win against the San Jose Sharks on Monday, with his new prosthetic limbs, has now had preminitions about his imminent start against his Californian opponents.

"It seems strange that all the hard work and training up to now in the season will be dashed by bad dreams of tonights games," Kiprusoff said this morning to reporters around the Saddledome, "but the coach will put me in and I will try to dispell all these bad dreams and my nervousness about them."

Kiprusoff was hesitant to actually describe what the bad dreams actually had in them, but he was visibly shaken as he stepped into the dressing room for preparation for the morning skate and as he stepped onto the ice.

General Manager and Head Coach, Darryl Sutter, was quoted as to saying that he has been through some traumatic experiences over the last couple weeks with the pack of wolves in St. Louis and his replacement limbs, not to mention less than reported bad luck before the blue Jackets and Canucks games as well. He agreed that his luck was down, but he seemed to be getting himself back together after beating his previous team.

"I won't stand for mysterious mumbo-jumbo," Sutter added when asked if he believed in what his starting goaltender was worried about.
