Post-Game Talk: Game 82 | Giggy's Farewell | Avs @ Ducks | April 13th | 6PM MST

If you have GCL, watch the end of the Ducks feed. They showed the Avs shaking Selanne's hand and Selanne and Giguere skating around the ice.

That's pretty awesome. Did he go down the line, kinda playoff style?

Been posted before, but always cool to see.

Funny how both of them have exactly the same look on their face they do now, 30 or whatever years later.

Get over it.

won't miss him.

Avs skated towards him at the end of his victory lap. All shook his hand. They also showed Sakic and Kariya among those in the crowd giving him a standing ovation.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

Is she hot?

Hotter than any of the Avalanche ice girls. But that's not saying much.

That's awesome. Didn't know either were in the crowd. Great gesture. I was gonna say, I wonder if this might have been Joe's idea, since he was the only one that played with him, and I'm sure he knew what a tough season it was for him in Denver.

if you didn't watch the last game of ryan smyth last night ... you had reaaaaaally miss something.

if you don't have time, just take a look at the end of the third.

I cried like a baby.

Care to give a recap? These things are rarely acknowledged in full in the game highlights.

Maybe. Could have gotten the idea from the Canucks as well, they did the same thing for Smyth last night. Came back onto the ice after Smyth's victory lap and shook his hand. Probably the only time I've ever seen the Canucks do anything "classy".

A few Ducks players also went and shook Giguere's hand at the end but the feed cut out so I'm not sure if they all did or not.

Wierd sense of congeniality all around. Doesn't bode well for a potential rivalry. They need to cut this crap out.

And yea, The Canucks are the last team I'd expect to do that for Edmonton no less.

 

[RockLobster]

Also, thanks Avs for costing me a potential GF. D-bags.

you've got my permission to ask her out anyways.

You don't have any authority around here...

Damn that's awesome. That's what happens when you bring in such respected leaders to run teams like Linden, Sakic, and Roy. They know what's important, and who deserves the utmost respect.

Wow, that's all I got to say, is wow. That Selanne Jiggy moment was totally spontaneous and awesome. All Teemu in going over to grab Jiggy and sharing the moment with him.

The smile on Jiggy's face when Teemu first grabbed him was priceless.

Roy should win coach of the year, but bad moves in final weekend cost team

What is he talking about? Other than the questionable decision to start Berra which didn't really hurt us in the end, what bad moves did Roy make? Mitchell got hurt against the Canucks and Barrie against the Sharks. Both of those games meant something so he wasn't going rest players.

Most mammals use 10% of their brains for cognition. Dater is a different story.

Yea, eff off. Bad moves my ass. Trying way too hard to be "objective." You don't have to go out of your way to be negative to be objective. He gave Berra a game, big deal. That's why Dater is Dater.

 

[falconski]

he's whining about Berra

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

He thinks Berra should have been sent down so they could call up someone to take the place of a guy like Hejda.
