SHORT BIO: Jean Sebastien Giguere, born on May 16, 1977 in Montreal, Quebec, was a highly touted prospect and all-star from the QMJHL, and he was noticed so much so that the Hartford Whalers selected him 13th overall in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.
He made his NHL debut on December 12, 1996 against Ron Hextall and the Philadelphia Flyers, falling 3-2 in the process. He played an additional seven games with the Whalers that year. After the franchise relocated to Carolina, Giguere spent a year in the minor leagues, before he was acquired by the Calgary Flames in the 1998-99 season in exchange for Gary Roberts and Trevor Kidd. Giguere appeared in 15 games for the club that year to start out the season before he was relocated to the Flames' AHL farm team. He then suited up for another seven games with the Flames in 1999-00, before getting his break and being traded to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. There, Giguere quickly became the starting goaltender, leading the team to within one win of the Stanley Cup in 2003 (though he did win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP). Then, in 2007, he finally won the Stanley Cup with Anaheim while facing Ottawa. In 2009-10, he was traded to Toronto and he remained there until the end of the 2010-11 season. From 2011-12 until 2013-14, Giguere played with the Colorado Avalanche before finally retiring from hockey. In his NHL career, Giguere appeared in 597 regular season games, recording a 262-216-75 record with 38 shutouts, seven points, a 2.53GAA and a 0.913% save average. Additionally, in 52 playoff games, Giguere recorded a 33-17 record with six shutouts, a 2.08GAA and a 0.925% save average. Among his career accolades include winning the AHL's Best Goaltending Duo Award (1998), being named the Conn Smythe Trophy Winner (2003), winning the IIHF World Championship Gold Medal with Team Canada (2004), winning the Stanley Cup (2007), appearing in the NHL All-Star Game (2009), and among goalies who have faced at least 20+ career playoff overtime shots, Giguere is also the all-time NHL save percentage leader in that regard, having stopped 114 of 115 overtime shots he faced over 13 playoff overtime games (0.991% save average). |
