J.S. Giguere isn't going anywhere

Jiggy

(By the way, sorry for the lack of the game coverage I haven't been able to watch games, sometimes I can get it via the Ducks site on the radio, and I rarely do games listening to it on the airways.)

You have to ask yourself about the issues other than being in 14th out of 15 place in the Western Conference and last in the Pacific Division, almost lie to yourself to keep yourself in check but at the end of the day, you know you're going to have to face reality; harsh or not. We all know we're staring a bad economy in the face, but now we comprehend jokes, we rarely hinder them anymore in hindsight this is good because it shows people are handling it well. People will make misery into humor, a police officer does it, a firefighter, CSI, a Soldier it's how people cope. It's the most inappropriate humor in which we get by.

As with the Ducks, there's more humor fans do this to keep themselves sane, to keep the rumors from completely getting to them. With the drought, we have to get onto someone: we have to find a scape goat and J.S. Giguere has been one of those.

Giguere has been talked about heavily for the last week or so, his comments which he was ousted for by people, but would you really expect a guy like Giguere to keep his mouth shut? No. That's the answer; it's no. Maybe the way he said it, the way it was interpreted is what surprised people, what got under their skin. In all honesty, at least Giguere isn't one to say, who cares I'm getting paid $6million this year, so why complain. He's competitive he wants to play, he said he doesn't regret what he said, but maybe it did come out the wrong way. We have two excellent goalies and sometimes you really can't understand what they're saying. One has a thick French (Canadian) accent and the other has a good Swiss/German accent. The goalies have shown their potential throughout the years. They may be struggling now but we all know they have their differences, we know they have the ability to come back.



According to the general manger Bob Murray J.S. isn't going anywhere (and neither is Coach Randy Carlyle or Scott Niedermayer)

From the Orange County Register:
“As coaches and management, you get upset with people who’ve sat out or who don’t play well but who also don’t show any emotion or passion,” he said. “A guy that’s frustrated and speaks out, he’s showing emotion and it shows me that he cares. Is that channeled the right way? Maybe not. Maybe his comments were misinterpreted.

“The most important is Jiggy is control of his own fate. The net is wide open. Somebody has to take the reins of this goal. You know [darn] well, we don’t care who it is. Randy and I have always said it’s whoever takes that net and runs with it is going to keep it. We’ll deal with what happens after that.”
