TSN is reporting this morning that Miikka Kiprusoff has decided to stay in Calgary. Kent Wilson over at Flames Nation has the longer take. Why is this notable?

There’s a full transcript at the Globe & Mail and I wanted to focus on Nonis’ comments about his team’s goaltenders. Is adding experience…
