Woow this video sends shivers down my spine! As a wings fan I have gained respect for these two teams and I wish them the best of luck in the playoffs but most importantly temmu have a great retirement and these playoffs I hope you light it up!
they are probably going to retire both giguere's number and selanne's number. selanne had a 14 year career with the ducks if i were to list out all his achievements with the ducks I'd be writing till the new year. giguere carried them through the 2003 Stanley Cup Playoffs which he won the Conn-Smyth and he then won the cup in 2007.
Awesome send off! The Canucks also came out when Ryan Smyth did his retirement celebration lap and showed their props.. It's nice to see such class, dignity and respect in a sports setting. All too often these days, it's about "me, me, me". Also, considering the intensity and violent nature of hockey, it shows that what goes on the ice, stays on the ice (for the most part!).. Teemu and Ryan Smyth – those are role models!
Can't stop looking at this video even though the season is over. Teemu threw a practice puck to my son this game (his normal tradition of throwing 5-10 pucks before each game), which made my son's season. Also great was each time Teemu took a shift, many of us Ducks fans stood and gave him a standing ovation. But the Jiggy thing was so Teemu and so classy. Kudo's to the AV's for staying out as well to give him his due. Foo Fighter's Hero will never sound the same again.
I was there when Jiggy made his first visit back at Honda Center with the Avalanche. I've never heard the Honda Center so loud during his applause after his tribute. I wish I could've been there for this victory lap.
To me still one of the greatest moments in sports. For all those idiots who can’t stand people wearing another teams jersey, this is how its done! Respect
What an absolute rockstar. Giving up part of his spotlight for Giguere only amplifies his legend. Proof the greatest amongst us are made so because they lift others up.

Class act.

Another example why hockey is unlike any of the other professional sports. Good stuff.
Teemu is hockey legend :3
I love it how he wanted to share the moment with Giguere like that. It's probably his last regular season game aswell. That's Teemu for you.
That just punched me in the feelings. Thanks Teemu.

Ducks fans will never forget him. His jersey will be on name of Honda. I know for for sure
That was one of the coolest things i've seen happen in the NHL
One of the greatest players ever
I got goosebumps watching this
THE REASON WHY I LOVE THE NHL SOO MUCH!!!!! Hockey's the best XD
It was very emotional to see the Finnish Flash and Jiggy (Gigere) doing a lap together
oh man watching him skate with jiggy oh damn hear come the tears.
ryan smith's was better though
2:30
he'll make a hellof coach
r.i.p finnish hockey

Class act all the way to the end!
Obviously teemu will have number 8 retired first but dear god please have 35 right next to his
…and I'm crying.
OMG 2:44 – when they smiled at each other I had a tear in my eye…. two great sportsman. Does anyone know if they were avs players at the same time??
Notice how sharp Selanne's timing is- both with grabbing Giguere and the the triumphant hand raise. No coincidence lol.
so late on this but what the heck! paul kariya was there?! 1:00 and 1:53
What song is that
Was this Giguere’s last game coincidentally too or was Teemu just bringing him out because they were teammates in anaheim?
Man even as a nucks fan. Watching these two do their lap while "there goes my hero" is playing. Brings a tear to my eye
I swear once My Hero starts playing, I lose it 😢😢😢
The Finnish Gentleman. Not a Mighty Ducks fan, but this Moment is the meaning Oficina greatness.
I was there when Jiggy made his first visit back at Honda Center with the Avalanche. I've never heard the Honda Center so loud during his applause after his tribute. I wish I could've been there for this victory lap.
Im not crying
The song is my hero by the nirvana
