The Ducks Goaltending

Which represents as of our NHL goalies J.S. "Jiggy" Giguere and Jonas Hiller "The Killer"

While I won't crunch numbers lets look at last season:

J.S. Giguere wasn't exactly, let say making fans feel too good about him, he was struggling and when every Ducks fan knows he really takes off in December. Here's an issue he's been through a lot of emotional pain since 2003 his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and when in 2007 shortly before the Stanley Cup playoffs in April his wife, Kristen, gave birth to their son Maxime Olivier Giguere. Maxime prompted to be a healthy baby was born with a deformed eye, doctors told the Giguere's he's completely blind in his (left) eye. The Giguere's had a successful surgery for Maxime and the Giguere's have enrolled Maxime in the Tustin Blind Children's Learning Center. He's a healthy and active child then in 2009 came the death of his father Claude who was a prison guard and said to be in the Canadian navy.

With J.S. I have a lot of confidence in him regaining his No. 1 spot back. Just because he had one bad season doesn't make him a bad goalie, it doesn't make him washed up, or whatever other terms are used for him. If JS were to be traded he would of probably been dealt over the off-season. Giguere has had no intentions of leaving the Ducks another reason is Giguere is making 6-7million this season and the team wouldn't pay him that much as a back-up.

Jonas Hiller: Amazing in the remaining games of the regular season and the series against both the Sharks and Red Wings has first NHL playoff appearance. He helped beat the Sharks in six games and took the Red Wings to a Game 7 where Dan Cleary scored celebrating on his back, a harsh memory to remember. Hiller was comforted by Giguere and teammates after the loss. Hiller costs considerably less than Giguere does at 1.3million. Hiller was definitely able to shine while Giguere struggled and attended to personal problems throughout the season. I am hoping we lose neither goalie but what will have to be foreseen is the Deadline trade, if Giguere gets more of a "back up" spot playing less games and minutes than he wants to he waive his No Trade Clause, which he signed in 2007. With Hiller, he may also walk on that day, with the loss of Allaire and someone who grew basically grew up with him. Hiller may be looking more into that fact. Giguere had been rumored to go to Toronto but former Ducks General Manager signed Jonas "The Monster" Gustvasson. A goalie who has extremely high expectations, chosing Toronto over Dallas. Hiller is also feared by fans to have a "sophomore slump" passing through his regular season even if he did play a few games in the 2008-2009 season, he did not play enough to be considered a sophomore. Hopefully both goalies keep up the hard work and well have to see how this situation unfolds in the near future.
