Giguere pitched a gem through two, but was ultimately undermined by two third period penalties, one a roughing call to Whitney for putting Sean Avery in a headlock, the other a token Artyukhin call.The freshest legs on the ice (other than Giguere's) belonged to Sheldon http://anaheimcalling.blogspot.com/2009/10/gee-wiz.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anaheim Calling)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902169120893062052.post-2358369951467078852Sun, 11 Oct 2009 06:59:00 +00002009-10-13T18:27:32.638-07:00News/FeaturesDANIEL:This is Anaheim Calling to the hockey world.

Lupul is still blocking shots and passing (I can't believe it either). Artyukhin is still scoring. Selanne is still a power play machine.

I know it's fairly common for other media outlets to forget that we pay hockey here on the west coast, and even more common for sports writers to ignore the efforts of west coast players when it comes time to hand out end of season awards (see Samuel Pahlsson for the Selke in 2007).
