Was a very good back-up and will be remembered for quite possibly starting the change we're seeing now by his Vegas comments.
I'm not sure we will ever know how much he meant to the young Avs team and its development, but what a great career and great guy.

Completely agree. Class act. One of my favorite moments all year was when selanne and him did a final lap around the rink together. That was something really special. I wish him the best and hope that be enjoys retirement.
I'm glad he was able to spend a few years at the end here. He was a constant professional even though most of the time our team was awful. There is no doubt in my mind he helped at very least with the progression of Varlamov, and I'm sure he had an affect on the rest of the team as well. If this is the end it was a great career, and he should be proud of everything he accomplished, and I hope the Avs try to keep him around the team in some capacity.
Now that Giguere is retiring, i wonder if the 1st thing he does is go to Vegas
Like i said in the main room , Las Vegas will never be the same

Love Giggy and like some others have said, he may have been what started the turn around for the Avs.
I will be forever grateful.
Plus he had a hell of a career.

He had a hell of a career and he was excellent for us in his role. Now... We need to add his ass to some branch of the coaching staff.

GO AVS GO !
Giguere had a great career ! The best memories I have of him playing were back in 2003 in the Stanley cup finals against the Devils ! I watched that entire series as an 11 year old and I really enjoyed watching him.

Inside Jiggy's chest beats the heart of a champion.
This picture from Game 7 SCF in 2003 gets me every time. Only 5 times has the Conn Smythe been awarded to a player from the losing team. It was well deserved by Jiggy.
I can't say how happy I am that I got to watch him play for my favorite team. Great goalie, better person.

And that'll close the books on the Hartford Whalers.
On a side note, with Teemu now gone, Shane Doan remains the last of the original Winnipeg Jets.

Great career. That 2003 run was magical. I still have a few cards of him in Hartford. His Vegas rant might be the most important rant this organization has heard. Got the fatso's out of office and got rid of all the drunks.

Solid backup when he was here despite everyone that called him an auto-loss (which wasn't true). Good luck on retirement Giggy, will miss ya.
