Anaheim's Classy Giguere Goodbye
Monday, February 1, 2010 at 4:02PM For those who haven't seen it yet, the Anaheim Ducks posted a goodbye letter to Jean-Sebastien Giuere on their official site. The site's main page has a photo (included below) of Giguere holding his infant son after winning the Stanley Cup in 2007, and the letter from the team is the epitome of class.
We would like to sincerely thank Jean-Sebastien Giguere for the class, dignity and professionalism he showed on and off the ice during nine memorable seasons with the Ducks.
Among those countless memories are a Conn Smythe Trophy in 2003, a Stanley Cup championship in 2007 and a number of franchise goaltending records.
Best of luck in Toronto, Jiggy.
Sincerely,
The Anaheim Ducks
Extremely classy.

Wow.... extremely classy move. After everything that he's given that franchise, its nice to see them give a little recognition.
(Sidenote: Do you think that was written the MINUTE Hiller got his extension?)
It wouldn't surprise me if they wrote it even before then. I'm extremely impressed by how quickly it was posted, especially since they still haven't said anything about where Toskala is. The number of stories the Ducks post on their official site is amazing. There's more than one story on Nick Boynton's waiver adventure. Toskala's name appears in a poll and the story announcing the trade. That's it.
I seem to be the only one who cares about this.
Anyways, well done Anaheim. Hiller was the right move for the franchise and this sendoff to Giguere was the right move for the player.
