244. Jean-Sebastien Giguere
While Jean-Sebastien Giguere only finished as high as fourth place in Vezina Trophy voting (2007-08) he will always be known for his playoff performances with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim/Mighty Ducks. It was in the 2003 Playoffs where Giguere took the lower seed Mighty Ducks to the Stanley Cup Finals where they faced the juggernaut team of the Detroit Red Wings. Giguere couldn’t take them to victory but he had a post season leading 1.62 Goals Against Average and .945 Save Percentage and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.
Giguere had established himself as a first-string Goalie and a few seasons later when they were renamed the Anaheim Ducks he did take them over the hump and in 2007 the Ducks won the Stanley Cup. Two seasons later he would be named to the All-Star Team and he would finish his career with Toronto and Colorado.
