Jean-Sebastien Giguere still is recovering from his offseasion hernia surgery. He said Thursday that he expects to miss about a week of training camp, according to the LA Times. "I'm coming along really well," Giguere said. "The first three weeks, I couldn't do much, but since then, I've been working out pretty hard, riding the bike and doing everything I need to do to get ready. I may start skating during the (next) week, but it's going to be very easy skating. At worst, I'll probably be a week behind everybody. We'll just have to see how it goes." Considering he underwent the procedure just a month ago, he's doing pretty well. You'll want to keep an eye on his health leading up to the season, since when healthy and on his game, he's one of the better goalies in the league.
