The Career of Jean-Sebastian Giguere 

Him retiring with his last game in Anaheim. Doing a lap with Selanne. Perfect.

You forgot to add his overall playoff stats. For anyone curious they are: GP: 52 W: 33 L: 17 Sv%: .925

I always liked him. He was a good mentor to Semyon Varlamov in Colorado. And seeing him skate with Selanne one last time was golden.

I feel like Giguere always got marginalized when talking about the great goalies of his generation. A lot of people talk about his gear and overlook his impeccable positioning. He was amazing during his prime.

One of my favourite goalies growing up, mainly because of that 03 cup run! I'll never forget watching the ducks make that cup run with Giggy. Those 03 playoffs is when I really got into hockey. Staying up and watching the games with my dad. Man the nostalgia!

Anaheim needs to retire his number!! Such a cornerstone of the franchise plus so many great moments in team history.

I was happy he got that Cup in 2007, after the heartbreaking loss in 2003.

Even as a life long Kings fan, Jiggy is one of my all time favorite goalies. What a incredible player and even better guy off the ice. Just a pure competitor. His 2003 run still lives on in the hearts of hockey fans everywhere. I dont think it will happen, but i hope the Ducks retire his jersey. I will 100% be at that game to support him if that happens.

Most impressive run by goalie I’ve ever seen in 03.

Doesn’t get talked about enough. But he only allowed a single goal in the WCF in 03. Just one goal.

If I recall correctly, he's the latest one to win the Conn Smythe despite not winning the cup - always a hero

His playoffs were so overwhelming that is how I remember him overall. A wall with no overriding weakness. Great goaltending allows the team to have the confidence to take risks.

Awh man, a career video I’ve been looking forward to. One of my favourite goalies when I was growing up, I’ll never forget that final lap he did with Selanne during his last NHL game. Such a special moment.

Wins con Smythe in a losing effort. Incredible

Giguere was so great in Halifax back in the day! He was the first CHL player I ever watched who I was convinced was going to be a star!

His 03 cup run was one of the best goalie performances in playoffs of all time

That 02-03 playoff performance was legendary to watch as a kid

Such a fantastic goalie and I'm glad he got that cup win because damn did he work hard for it. It would've been nice if he had helped the ducks clinch the 2003 cup too but he was still awesome that year too.

Jean-Sébastien Giguère! Little typo there in the first name :) keep up the amazing work Shannon!

Favorite moment was him waving off a goal in GM 1 vs Detroit in 2003

Some maybe little known or unknown facts about Jean-Sebastian Giguere. Was consider a bust in the years years due to actually ripping both of his knees out once in Halifax in the CHL before ripping the other knee out while playing in AHL of the Flames farm team. Was consider to be done at that point of his career since he couldn`t move side to side like he used too. Spend a full off season learning to play his famous blocking style of goaltending due to his injuries; which then lead to most of his success with the Ducks. This guy took a lot of hard knocks along his career and still put up some very impressive numbers. Also had issue drinking water and crapping issues while in Calgary; which is why they gave up on him but fixed by drinking from a straw placed in his water bottle. Which was also fixed by the Ducks. Just never gave up!!

One of the greatest shutdown performances in hockey history. Giguere allows only 6 goals in 4 games ( two OT games) to the defending Stanley Cup Champions. I remember sitting 10 rows off center ice, and listening to the Moody Blues song " Please Go Away " , 🤣, on the public address system, as the Ducks completed the 4 game sweep. Giguere was from that day labeled " the difference " in Anaheim. With him in net, it was the first time as a fan that I felt like they had a decent chance to beat any team in the league.

You should have mentioned that he stoned a Cup bound Wings team, one of the greatest performances ever.

Went to the legends classic the year Kariya, Selanne, and Giguere played together. Excellent career for Giggy. Can’t wait to see his number in the rafters one day.

His play plummeted massively during the 08-09 season, had already lost the starting job to Jonas hiller before he was fan-voted into the all star game as a starter to join niedermayer and getzlaf. Nothing but love for Jiggy

I’m happy he came to the Avs in the later days. I was just getting into hockey then, and it was cool to have a legendary goaltender the squad.

FINALLY!!!!! I’ve been waiting years for this one!!!!

Gettin giggy wit it

One of my fav goalies of all time! Thanks for the video Shannon!

This man was a monster I was growing up watching him dominate the Canucks man was big and fast we could never beat them

One of the first tendies I grew up to be a fan of. Loved the name, his setups, the way he played, everything

For some reason I always remembered him playing way longer with the Leafs than he actually did, I was like 10 though.

That 03 run was so damn fun to watch, but really hard to see him not win that year. I wanted Anaheim to beat New Jersey so bad! The kind of career Giguere had is one of the reasons why i love the sport so much. Hockey is a hard sport to play and to try and get to the NHL is so difficult. So when a player (I don’t care what position it is), it’s just so easy to cheer for them when they are finally able to get to that level where they go on a run for a while or end up having a really good career..i just love it!

Definitely one of the most underrated goalies career-wise of all time.

I felt bad for Detroit when Anaheim swept them in 2003. This man literally stole that series for the Ducks.

Fun fact when the hurricanes traded him, he was supposed to play a preseason game in Halifax and people here were pissed as he played junior here and had a big playoff run that year Actually think he met his wife when he played in junior as well

Finally! Love the vids! Can we get a video on sykora and guerin?

What made me become a goalie was Patrick Roy the greatest goalie of all time

He was basically the main reason why I became a Ducks fan in 03. Absolute legend.

Just discovered the channel. Loving it. Wish you would write 20% bigger. Good video

Huge heroic run in 03, one of the best play-off performances I've seen. While Thomas and Quicks runs were perhaps more acrobatic, ingenious and I guess you can say more Roy-like, I'd say Gigueres was just as impressive. Apart from that he wasn't an outstanding player during the regular season and I guess he's one of those that will be overlooked and forgotten by those who didn't see him the longer we get from his retirement.

I am a believer that my fav individual trophy awarded, the Conn Smythe. Can be awarded to a player whose team loses. But... It must be a special run. '03 was special. My fav player is the only NHL player to have won 3... and never lost

Getting Jiggy with it! Will always remember him and Teemu for a final salute. One of my fav. Ducksgoalie

He was always an intriguing Goalie on how he played

Thank You for Doing a Video on Ducks Legendary Goalie J-S Giguere...."Jiggy" As he is known by Local Ducks Fans in Anaheim and Communities in Orange County was one of the Major Contributers to the Ducks Reaching the Stanley Cup Final in 2003 and Winning it 4 years later in 2007. His tenure with the Ducks has lead him to be Alltime Ducks Goalie leader in Wins,Shutouts and other Goalie Stats. Also just wanna Let you know.....There is talk among some Ducks Fans hoping Giggy will get his no35 Retired soon.

My brothers favorite goalie growing up. I found myself cheering for him to which felt weird as a Canuck fan routing for the Ducks. How about a Jonathan Cheechoo video? Very interesting career his was.

STEVE DURBANO career video- a story that should be told.

Hey Shannon, idea for a video. You mentioned the spotlight being on any goaltender going to Toronto. Why not a video analyzing the Leafs' history of goaltending and their success based on their goaltending.

Jean-SebastiEn 🤓😉 You’re the best Shannon. 👍🏼

Another Halifax Mooseheads alum. I really hope Shannon does a video on all Mooseheads alums that had or are having NHL careers. 👍

Kind of surprised THG doesn't mention that the only reason Calgary traded him was because they didn't want to protect two goalies in the 2000 expansion draft. Calgary kept and protected Fred Brathwaite instead very much to the Ducks benefit.

He may never have won a vezina... but I'm sure his name being on the the Stanley Cup more than makes up for it.

My second favorite goalie of all time

i forget who gm'd the ducks in that 2000s decade but they were just too good

Gettin' jiggy wit' it

The GOAT

It would be interesting to see any other instances of conn smythe winners who lost the cup final

Leaf LEGENDDDD

GOAT goalie

That mvp run was amazing. His dominance was short lived, but it was stellar for those few years.

It would be super if you did a Trevor Kidd career video!

Very surprised that his number hasn’t been retired in Anaheim. I mean Scott Niedermayer got it before him

my math teacher in college has the same name as him. He introduced himself and said "I'm not a goalie". :^V (2003)

😎👍🇨🇦🏒🥅🚨 GOALIES RULE!!!

Leafs legend.

They used to say he never gave up weak goals. He did was he was supposed to. Nothing less and often nothing more lol

Went to a game in Dallas late in the 08 or 09 season (memorie's a little foggy). The ducks were there, and to my surprise Giggy was playing. I hadn't kept up with the team since they broke my little kid heart by changing everything after being sold by Disney, so I had no idea JS was still around. Watching the '03 run was one of the greatest times of my entire life, so I was so happy to see Giguere. (Didn't hurt that I got to see him clean that asshole Steve Ott's clock when Ott was trying to start a fight with like 4 seconds left in the game because he was salty Dallas was going to lose).

So how about a career video about PJ Axelsson?

He’s a GOAT!!!

Marty McSorley please

Last Whalers 1st rounder!

I remember Him & Bryzgalov making quite a formidable duo from 05-08. Didn't Bryz start the 06 playoffs?

Are you using the same column for ties and overtime losses?

Get giggy with it

The greatest in Anaheim

Still annoyed the Ducks haven't retired him. Should've been 8, 35, 9, 27

Michelin Man.

Career of josh harding?

Get giggy with it (nah, nah, nah, nah)

Surprised you don't add shutouts on these videos

The ducks always have a reliable starting goalie. Hebert, JS, Hiller, Freddy, and now Gibson

Love todays younger Duck fans who think Gibson is the greatest of all time - um no, just watch that ‘03 cup final!

Thumbs up out of politeness to Shannon, but Giguere's career highlights are mainly as a Duck and we Kings fans are irritated by that. BTW Shannon, when ya gonna do a career video on a former King that isn't Gretzky or Dionne? Justin Williams might be a good choice even though he played a lot in Carolina, he was a big part of L.A.'s 2 Cups and got him the nickname "Mr. Game 7" which he hates.

He had ridiculously oversized goalie pads that basically stuffed the entire net. It was laughable.

I love JS Giguere, i just dont think he should have won Conn Smythe trophy in 2003, that was Brodeur because the devils won…. but with that being said he did drag that Anaheim team to the finals, but Brodeur had 3 SO in the finals…idk maybe Im a bitter devils fan for that…

The Conn Smythe Trophy shouldn’t to players that lost. It’s like you lose your girl to your rival and you end up standing in the Wedding. It’s gotta be really uncomfortable

2003 Stanley Cup MVP SHOULD have been Martin Brodeur!!! Sets ALL Time Playoff Shutout record including 3 shutouts in The Finals including series clinching Game 7 & yet Marty doesn't win the MVP for the loser goaltender!!! 🙈 Total garbage and he was booed out of the building when the bogus announcement was made. Back when West Coast Hockey was still laughable the writers wanted a "feel good" story.

Guy was unreal in the playoffs against Detroit.

GIGGY! 🦆🏒🏆 *#35*
