THE CELEBRATION STARTS, THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THEIR HISTORY HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP, THE DEVILS THREE, THE DUCKS NOTHING, DEVILS, STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!! Man I love Gary Thorne
Proper trip down memory lane I'm English and remember staying up till 4am watching this can't beat a game 7 Stanley cup final as a Devils fan I was so excited to watch this
This 2003 was the finals the year I was born but since I was born December 31st 2003 it was not the season but whatever it’s cool to see what hockey was like when I first was born and now in 2020 I’m a huge hockey fan and I fell in love with hockey in 2011 in the Canucks playoff run and since 2017 I really became a real fan!
Великая команда Дьяволов творила историю в те времена. Эта команда влюбила в себя тысячи любителей хоккея по всему миру! Заслуженный третий Кубок Стэнли за 9 лет! Феноменальный результат! 👏👏👏👏👏
@@countof3everybodyOD The final score was Devils 3, Mighty Ducks 0. The Devils won their 3rd Stanley Cup in 2003, while the Ducks would have to wait until 2007 to win their first Stanley Cup.
Thank you so much to whoever posted this. I was stationed in Korea and did not get to see this because I had to go to the field. I did not find out what happened until we came back. 19 years and well worth the wait. Thank you.
45:35 - 46:50. Yes, we were going nuts. Friesen's goal in the 3rd was louder, but this one was an earthquake up there. Best and loudest chant was still "Marty's Better" a couple times. We were sooooo tired of hearing about ole puffy pads
i've been watching hockey for a long time and this may be the greatest defense i've ever seen, and yeah a lot of people bitched about these devils and said they had a slow, boring style of play that slowed down and ruined hockey but if you are a true fan you can appreciate how incredible they really were, i mean the 2002-03 devils obviously had no true superstars not on offense anyways but made up for it by being way more than the sum of their parts, by being perfectly discipled, well oiled defensive machine that almost never made mistakes, as far as defense goes this was like the 85 bears of the NHL i mean the ducks could barely get the puck out of their own zone and were lucky to even get a shot off let alone score, which in this game of course they didn't, hockey is truly a system game where a single player can rarely carry a team unless your talking a gretzky, orr or lemieux, or today a connor mcdavid, but mostly its a true team sport and this group def personified team hockey.
1:22:36 The single loudest moment in hockey history. Freisen blew the roof off completely. This was the moment that said “the Devils are winning the Stanley Cup”. Only 18,000 people and it sounded like there were 80,000.
💯 agree. On the other broadcast, JD keeps talking about the building shaking like crazy. It was deafening in there. One of my favorite moments to have attended
My only "sigh" being a Devils fan is the fact Marty didn't win a Conn Smythe, and this was the year to do it. Giguere was great but Marty was at the end of the day, better. He finished the game with a shutout lol, not to mention a cup. I was only 12 during this season and it was the best time I've had as a hockey fan haha
@@ArgentinaFan76just to clarify: Brodeur had a record setting 7 shutouts that playoff year, including THREE (3) in the Finals. Those 3 in the SCF alone tied a 58-year record at the time (McCool in 1945), and in a game 7 to boot. Giguere wasn't undeserving of the Conn Smythe, but Marty was making history & writing the records book.
@@betsyduane3461 I can't say I was. 88 when they beat the islandefs I was at that cinching game, that was one of my first years. You need to go to games before it's truly appreciated.
How awesome was it that all 3 of those former Dallas Stars; Jamie Langenbrunner, Joe Nieuwendyk and Grant Marshall came over to join the Devils to win another Stanley cup!
I really feel like Marty got robbed of the Conn Smythe that year. He broke records and was a wall, and well his team won. No disrespect to Giguere though, he had an incredible run.
Brodeur was robbed in each Devils cup win in my opinion as they don't get close to winning any of the 3 without him. Only one I didn't complain about much was Lemieux in 95 because he practically scored at will, and in nearly always a clutch situation.
The key is who was more valuable. You could argue(albeit maybe not very well) that the Devil's would have won without Brodeur doing what he did in those playoffs, however Anaheim probably doesn't even get out of the first round let alone to the finals without Giguere performing the way he did in those playoffs.
1:33:10 Great class act by the Devils to cheer for Gigeure winning the Conn Smythe trophy. Like Clement points out, it's too bad so many of the fans didn't show the same respect.
Because Marty got screwed he set the record for shutouts in a playoff run and head to head vs jiggy shut him out in 3 of the 4 Devil wins.. I agree the fans shouldn't have done it but that MVP should have went to a devil guarantee it ducks win that game 7 the MVP wouldn't have went to a devil on a losing team Marty got robbed
@@japantuning88 but Broduer was incredible that whole playoff run and I just always feel to the victors go the spoils (not that Broduer winning the Conn Smythe would've been unwarranted at all).
Piss off. Read what I wrote above. Yeah, it's easier for the players to cheer the opposing oversized padded goalie coming out of the weak ass west. Don't judge our fans,need were pissed, and Marty actually was the one, by raising the figurative cup in his empty hands, the refocused us. Marty is a HOFer who never got the respect he deserved, so this, on his 3rd shutout of the michelan man's team, solidified it for us. Not to mention Friended had 10 friggin goals, and 5 in the finals. He equally deserved it more
Giguere was 90% equipment. Watching him it's an absolute farce. It's beyond Garth Snow level. Seeing how awkward every movement of his is because he's literally wearing a sofa suit. I have never seen a goalie have to move around less than he did. He basically took up 92% of the net at all times and had to lurch here and there to cover up whatever areas his equipment wasnt blocking at the time. You look at that Ducks team and the names being mentioned...Jason Krog. Dan Bylsma, Marc Chouinard, Chistov, Kurt Sauer. Steve Thomas and Oates at 40 and nowhere near the players they used to be trying to squeeze one last gasp out of their careers. 2003 Ducks were a strange team and one that had no business winning a Cup. Not a bad team...just and odd one. Every game their strategy was get outplayed and outshot 42-18, no pucks get through the michelin man and we win 1-0 on some fluke bs goal in the 3rd OT.
Perhaps this quote that sums up Scott Nidermayer career. “What you worry about that Scott Nidermayer Guy from New Jersey draft he’s going to be nothing he’s a bum he is on the wrong side of Canada trust me there’s is absolutely no way that this trade will haunt the leafs in the future.” Had the devils never got Scott its ALLLL will be different. The devils was amazing winning three Stanley’s. As for Scott 4 cups and multiple awards in his career. 1:31:30…..in 2007 they became teammates and won with Anaheim
That was a lack of reality for that commentator to say that. Our guy just got his 3rd shutout vs JSG's illegal ass pads and our other just got his 10th goal and 5th of the finals. Typical bettman
Because Giguere was simply a little bit better that year, even though his team ultimately didn't win? He went 15-6 with a 94.5 save percentage, compared to Brodeur with a 16-8 record and a 93.2 save percentage. Anaheim also won 4-0 in games against the defending Cup champions and President Trophy winners Red Wings in the first round, much thanks to his play. In the Conference finals against Minnesota, he also had three straight shutouts, and they won 4-0 in games again. They ran out of gas in game 7 of the Cup finals though, and it finally showed that New Jersey was the better team, but that was an incredible runner up performance.
@@patriik0 As true as that is.. extreme deference is giving the MVP to the winning team by default unless it is so incredibly obvious to give it to a losing player. Also remember that the MVP is supposed to be for the entire playoffs, not just first 3 rounds. The stats between Giguere and Brodeur were close enough to merit Marty getting the MVP this time. He also broke the NHL record for most shutouts in a playoff campaign, and 3 in the finals. I'm not at the level to say it was a robbery to give to Gigs, but just feel it was wrong. It's akin to giving the NFL MVP to the losing quarterback. Just doesn't feel right.
Because Brodeur didn't carry the devils to the final. The trap lead by Stevens and Neidermayer did. Giguere on the other hand was the reason the Ducks even got out of the 1st round.
Do you have any idea what a joke the west was that year? Marty might have had 10 shutouts over there. As it was...he had 3 on the finals and the took it from him, and equally from Friesen who had 10 damn goals and 5 in the finals including a series winner in the semis.
SEVEN SHUTOUTS THREE IN THE FINALS I still hate that snarky comment about us booing the michelan man and his puffy pads. Douche needed to understand that we were in the midst of celebrating, and our franchise hall of fame goalie just had his 3rd shutout of the finals. We were upset, that needs to be understood. It was Marty's, and it was taken from him, and from our celebration. So sorry, but not sorry
Arlette! She’s been with the Devils for a long time now. She sings the national anthem at most games and in 2000 and 2003 she did a lot of songs specifically recorded for the cup runs. This cover was one of those songs!
Without Guegaire, those Ducks dont get to WCF, let alone game 7 of the Finals. Im a Colorado fan,& this was only 2 yrs after we beat you in game 7. But I was pulling hard for NJ in '03..& Guegerie to win Conn Smythe, cuz he definitely deserved it. Broduer is 1 of the All time greats-another Conn Smyth wouldnt matter that much for his legacy. But it means more to Gueguire-he wasnt an All time great. But that playoff run he was.
@@jasonsmith5226 How can Giguère deserve it but not Marty who had far better stats in the playoffs that year, and he won the series? Broduer never won the Conn Smythe, he was robbed.
He also had a much better supporting cast-NJ was a powerhouse. Anaheim was just an ordinary team, whos goalie stole games,& even series. I even heard Broduer say Guguire deserved it. Maybe he was just being classy. But thats the 1 time in my hockey watching life-started 1995-where I thought somebody on the losing team deserved it.Peter Forsberg in 2002 was the other time I thought it was possible.Missed the whole season, came back,& led the playoffs in scoring-despite the Avs not even making the Finals. But after the Avs lost 7-0 in game 7, (& 2-0 in game 6)-that ship sailed. But I dont remember too much controversy over Gugierre back then. But NHL fans from back then,know what Brodeur was all about. Other than Roy-theres no goalie in the last 25 yrs-Id take over Broduer. That includes Hasek,& Belfour-who made life miserable on my Avs.
Not to mention, with legal and normal sized goalie pads and not vs the soft ass west that year. Marty might have had 8 shutouts had we had JSG's road that year. The west was PATHETIC
Man let me tell u something I had a chance too see a eastern hockey team twice visiting both sides mom and dad parent's both grandpa on my dad's side lived in New Jersey Devil and then my mom's daddy liked the famous hated New York Islanders but we couldn't get the car started had major problem one of mygrandfather was going too call a taxi but you know I never got too see a hockey game ever @!!!!!!both sides of my moms and dads parent's are dead
Biggest travesty was Marty not getting the Conn Smythe. I remember being so pissed when Geiguerre won it. Marty had 3 shutouts in the finals. That alone should’ve won him that crown.
Man I'm really disappointed that the DUCK'S are playing not hungry enough too beat the DEVILS in a seven game series Devils where playing too stronger 😢
I never realized how big off assholes Devils fans were back then. Being a Devils fan and having seen plenty of other fan bases as a home and road fan, I feel like we're better now (mimus my bias against PHL and NYR), but damn, show some respect to the other team if you already won. No need to kick them when they're down.
Daneyko’s last game. What a way to go out! Classy to have him on the ice for the countdown.

Douche needed to understand that we were in the midst of celebrating, and our franchise hall of fame goalie just had his 3rd shutout of the finals. We were upset, that needs to be understood. It was Marty's, and it was taken from him, and from our celebration. So sorry, but not sorry
56:10 wake me up inside
If only the nets won the finals we would have had the devil and nets win in the same year oh well
"Hockey immortality is on the line tonight.." Nah, look at the Devils today. Lmao.
Fun fact: last time when home team wore white and road time went colored.
Coming soon....
who was singing We Are The Champions?
Arlette! She’s been with the Devils for a long time now. She sings the national anthem at most games and in 2000 and 2003 she did a lot of songs specifically recorded for the cup runs. This cover was one of those songs!
Marty had a better series and playoffs and more shutouts, and a shutout in game 7 and that bloated blimp got the Conn Smythe Trophy
Without Guegaire, those Ducks dont get to WCF, let alone game 7 of the Finals. Im a Colorado fan,& this was only 2 yrs after we beat you in game 7. But I was pulling hard for NJ in '03..& Guegerie to win Conn Smythe, cuz he definitely deserved it. Broduer is 1 of the All time greats-another Conn Smyth wouldnt matter that much for his legacy. But it means more to Gueguire-he wasnt an All time great. But that playoff run he was.
@@jasonsmith5226 How can Giguère deserve it but not Marty who had far better stats in the playoffs that year, and he won the series? Broduer never won the Conn Smythe, he was robbed.
He also had a much better supporting cast-NJ was a powerhouse. Anaheim was just an ordinary team, whos goalie stole games,& even series. I even heard Broduer say Guguire deserved it. Maybe he was just being classy. But thats the 1 time in my hockey watching life-started 1995-where I thought somebody on the losing team deserved it.Peter Forsberg in 2002 was the other time I thought it was possible.Missed the whole season, came back,& led the playoffs in scoring-despite the Avs not even making the Finals. But after the Avs lost 7-0 in game 7, (& 2-0 in game 6)-that ship sailed. But I dont remember too much controversy over Gugierre back then. But NHL fans from back then,know what Brodeur was all about. Other than Roy-theres no goalie in the last 25 yrs-Id take over Broduer. That includes Hasek,& Belfour-who made life miserable on my Avs.
Not to mention, with legal and normal sized goalie pads and not vs the soft ass west that year. Marty might have had 8 shutouts had we had JSG's road that year. The west was PATHETIC
The celebration music was so cheesy throughout haha bon jovi and Star Wars
it’s almost like bon jovi is a new jersey icon. this comment was way more corny
30:20
Pretty low class to boo at Giguere for winning the Conn Smythe, he deserved it more than anyone.
Poor JS
Man let me tell u something I had a chance too see a eastern hockey team twice visiting both sides mom and dad parent's both grandpa on my dad's side lived in New Jersey Devil and then my mom's daddy liked the famous hated New York Islanders but we couldn't get the car started had major problem one of mygrandfather was going too call a taxi but you know I never got too see a hockey game ever @!!!!!!both sides of my moms and dads parent's are dead
Devils fans booing Giguere, really?
You needed to be there and understand the franchises history with Bettman, and to rip into our celebration by not giving the HOF goalie his due
LGD
Biggest travesty was Marty not getting the Conn Smythe. I remember being so pissed when Geiguerre won it. Marty had 3 shutouts in the finals. That alone should’ve won him that crown.
:O
Man I'm really disappointed that the DUCK'S are playing not hungry enough too beat the DEVILS in a seven game series Devils where playing too stronger 😢
This guy looks like he married his mom
Lmao, they needed to emphasize 'long-time' girlfriend!
Giguere really deserved that Conn Smythe. Brodeur never went 5OT.
He didn't have to, he was too busy shutting their asses out 3 times
Brodeur Conn Smyth @ me
I never realized how big off assholes Devils fans were back then. Being a Devils fan and having seen plenty of other fan bases as a home and road fan, I feel like we're better now (mimus my bias against PHL and NYR), but damn, show some respect to the other team if you already won. No need to kick them when they're down.
