Jean-Sebastien Giguere pays the price at home
Ducks goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere (pictured at right), a native of Montreal, had so many ticket requests for the team's game against the Canadiens at the Bell Centre that he rented a suite for the night to accommodate about 20 friends and relatives. That group includes 11 nieces and nephews.
Alex Gilchrist, the Ducks' media relations director, was impressed. "Let's just say it wasn't cheap," Gilchrist said in an e-mail.
Giguere also was generous with his time after the Ducks' game-day skate, doing interviews in French and English until team officials had to pull him away so he could eat his pregame meal.
Francois Beauchemin, another Quebecker, also bought a dozen tickets for the game, which will be shown at 4 p.m. today on KDOC.
