All these sports writers keep writing that Jiggy hasn't been nearly the same as in '03.To some extent that's true,primarily because the team has built into a perennial contender,and thus don't rely pretty much solely on his goaltending.In other words,his role is slightly less;he doesn't have to go out every single night and steal games,because the team is now fully competitive,whereas that season it was a major surprise the team made the playoffs at all. My main point is that Jiggy's best numbers came from the Cup winning season;a career-best 36 wins,only 10!!! regulation losses,and an oustanding GAA at 2.26,which he topped the following season with 2.12.He may have been absolutely awful in '08'-09,but that's one season.You can't write him off just because of one lousy season.
