two brothers, Rob Niedermayer for the Ducks, and his older brother Scott Niedermayer for the Devils, competing for the same prize. Quite possibly the most memorable moment of the series occurred during Game 6 in Anaheim. At center ice, Kariya received a fierce, blind side body check from New Jersey captain Scott Stevens. Kariya was knocked out and sent to the dressing room. However, 11 minutes later, Kariya returned from the dressing room and scored the fourth goal of the game to help the Ducks tie the series with a 5–2 victory. Despite drawing even in the series, Anaheim could not complete their Cinderella run, losing a hard-fought Game 7 tilt to the Devils, 3–0. The series was also noted because every game was won by the home team. For his fine play during the post-season, Giguere won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Most Valuable Player of the playoffs, becoming just the fifth player, and fourth goaltender, in NHL history to have won the Trophy as a member of the losing team.

This was the third coast-to-coast Final, following 1982 and 1994; both times, the Vancouver Canucks had Cinderella runs halted; in 1982 by the New York Islanders and in 1994 by the New York Rangers. However, this was the first coast-to-coast Final played entirely in the United States. At the following 2003 NHL Entry Draft, the Ducks traded to get two first round draft picks. With those picks, the team selected Ryan Getzlaf 19th overall and Corey Perry 28th overall, two eventual franchise cornerstones. 2003–04 season: Disappointment During the off-season, the Mighty Ducks were dealt a major blow after their captain Paul Kariya opted to sign a free agent contract with the Colorado Avalanche. In so doing, Kariya reunited with Teemu Selanne, who had also signed with Colorado after two seasons with San Jose in an attempt to win the Stanley Cup. However, the Mighty Ducks did fill Kariya's gap by signing star free agent Sergei Fedorov from Detroit and Vaclav Prospal from the Tampa Bay Lightning. Despite the signings and high expectations from the previous year, the 2003–04 was a major disappointment for the Ducks and Conn Smythe Jean-Sebastien Giguere, as the Ducks failed to make the playoffs after amassing
