Jean-Sebastien
Giguere, Anaheim
For all the talk that surrounded
Roberto Luongo in this series,
it was Giguere who provided the
Ducks with poise and results.
Giguere never allowed the
Canucks more than two goals per
game -- which is more than
reasonable considering the goal
support he receives. His only
major error came in Game 2, when
he failed to hug a post on Jeff
Cowan's game winner. But given
his effort in the following
three games, it is fair to say
the Ducks have already forgotten
about that mistake. |
