This is another example of a team being dragged to the Finals by an excellent goaltender.

Tomorrow (it went in the net)
2003 Ducks the first team to loose a Stanley Cup final in my lifetime.
It was Ottawa who played New Jersey in the East Final that year.
I’ve been looking forward to this one.
As much as I liked the whole Anaheim underdog story leading up to the finals, the clutch-and-grab and oversized gear that dominated the dead puck era at this point made even Devils trap hockey look entertaining by comparison. I felt sad for Adam Oates but other than that I was happy New Jersey won because at that point they'd become the great east hope against the big, dominant west and they were a smaller market team than the usual suspects of contenders pre cap era.
Any chance on a Paul Kariya Hall of Fame video?
The fact that he allowed only one goal in the WCF is still insane.
Off the floor, on the board.
It was Ottawa vs New Jersey in the Conference final in 2003.
I see a lot of similarities in Vegas' run to the Stanley Cup as the 2003 Mighty Ducks. Fleury = Giguere, Karlsson = Kariya
Shannon, Rob Niedermayer was not drafted by the Ducks. He was drafted by the Florida Panthers with their 1st ever pick in the 1993 entry draft. Liked the video, but had to correct you on Rob.
Hey Shannon!
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Rob Niedermayer drafted by the Florida Panthers? @6:20
Off the floor on the board!
2003 Canucks missed their window big time here. I think they could've won the cup.
The battle of the trap. Jean-Sebastien Giguere was a wall that year. Stung the Calgary Flames traded him for a second round draft pick in 2000 (Matt Pettinger) to see this.
With all the attention Jean-Sebastien Giguere got, Martin Brodeur only had 3 shutouts in the Stanley Cup Finals with games 1, 2 and 7. Anaheim wouldn't of gotten that far without Giguere.
You have to take score differentials into account when measuring shot counts. Teams always tend to get outshot after they establish a lead. It’s more important what the shot differentials are when the score is tied or within one goal.
You should get a Mighty Ducks Magnet!!
Giguere played great in this playoffs and I wanted them to win the Cup so bad that year. If they had Teemu Selanne that year I think they beat NJ.
Ducks haven't retired 35 yet? Come on guys get on it.
New Jersey played the Senators, who idk….won the presidents trophy
My daughter was born the same day Anaheim swept Detroit. Definitely the best day of my life
I'll never forget Scott Stevens hit on Paul Kariya and Kariya lying on the ice. Then you see him breathe on the visor, my Lord that was a sight. I was so worried for Kariya.
how does one do a 2003 mighty ducks video and not mention kariya's goal in game 6? one of the iconic moments in SCF history.
although, kariya himself doesn't remember it.
I felt bad for Detroit. They far outplayed the Ducks, but Giguere was super human during this run.
Pretty how you felt when the Wings were defeated by the Mighty Ducks back in the first round of the 2003 Stanley Cup finals is how I felt when the Capitals thwarted the Pens in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. I DESPISE and can't stand Pittsburgh in every sense of the word and their defeat to Washington was the most satisfying defeat I've ever seen in the NHL and I'll remember that game 6 between the Caps and Pens for years to come. I was the happiest person alive when Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the OT winner and FINALLY sending those obnoxious Pens packing
Minnesota wasn't it for the WCF? I think this is the year the wild with their trap took out the Avs.
Paul Kariya what a beast. Knocked out cold. Doesnt remember a thing and scores game winner.
Lovely lillies lighten lack of life
GIGUERE WAS A BEAST. Going into the playoffs my friends and I were amazed how he shut Detroit down and got their Bowman replacement Dave Lewis fired shortly after.
The mighty anaheim of ducks 😂
My team
Oh man that means it's the '04 Flames next!
The one thing I remember most is JSG coming out to accept the Conn Smythe and NJ fans booing him. Classless bunch of knuckle draggers!
Forgetting Chris Pronger man!
Anaheim Mighty Ducks was also used for a bit.
Low scoring goaltending battle! For all the buzz Giguere rightfully got, Martin Brodeur should have won the Conn Smythe.
Marty had 7 shutouts (3 in the Finals), a near identical 1.65 GAA, and a .934 Save %… but most importantly: he actually led his team to the Cup victory.
Clean hit by Stevens. And I hate the devils
Wings fan. We won the presidents trophy. We couldn’t score jsg. He was too good. We put a lot of shots on him
☺
Dallas never recovered from that loss either. I think they’ve only won 3 playoff series since then.
4:22 WOW!
Rask allowed 2 goals in 4 games + 2 overtime’s in the conference finals against the penguins
Of ducks Anaheim mighty
Jean Sebestian Gigure and a bunch of tumbleweeds
