How much do you know about 2003 NHL Playoffs? | Quiz

Answer: New Jersey Devils

The Devils beat the Ducks in seven games. During the finals, the home team won every game. The Ducks beat the Wild in the Western Conference Finals in four games, while the Devils beat the Senators in the Eastern Conference finals in seven games.

Answer: Jean-Sebastien Giguere

Giguere won, despite being on the losing team. Brodeur certainly would have been worthy, recording three shutouts in the finals and seven overall. Giguere did however post better stats in the playoffs (winning percentage, GAA, save percentage), for whatever that is worth. Giguere was also undefeated in overtime.

Answer: Toronto Maple Leafs

Fourth-seeded Philadelphia beat the fifth-seeded Leafs in seven games, first-seeded Ottawa beat the eighth-seeded Islanders in five games, third-seeded Tampa Bay beat sixth-seeded Washington in six games and second-seeded New Jersey beat seventh-seeded Boston in five games, all in the Eastern Conference.

Answer: Steve Rucchin

Rucchin's goal completed the improbable sweep of defending champion Detroit. Anaheim was the seventh seed, while Detroit was the second.

Answer: paul kariya

Anaheim's Kariya was the NHL's fourth highest paid player with a salary of $10 million. The next closest were Martin Brodeur and Scott Stevens of the Devils, tied at 25th, both making $6,891,103.

Answer: They came back twice from a 3-1 series deficit

Minnesota beat both Colorado and Vancouver in seven games each, despite being down 3-1 at one point in each series. Since Minnesota was the lower seed in each case, they had to win both game 7's on the road. Anaheim was the team that eliminated the first and second seeds (Dallas and Detroit) in the first two rounds.

Answer: Scott Niedermayer

Scott Niedermayer picked up 2 goals and 16 assists. Gaborik of the Wild was third with 17 points and Madden and Hossa tied for fourth with 16 points.

Answer: 1

The Wild's only goal, in a game 4 2-1 loss, was by Andrew Brunette. Giguere shut out the Wild, who had been offensively potent in the two previous rounds, in the first three games.

Answer: Dallas Stars

The Stars were the top seed in the West, a huge improvement over their disappointing 2001-2002 season. Toronto was the East's second seed in 2002 and the fifth seed in 2003. Boston was first in 2002 but seventh in 2003. Vancouver was eighth in 2002 and fourth in 2003.

Answer: Alexander Mogilny

Mogilny picked up a hat trick in game one of Toronto's first round matchup against Philadelphia.

Answer: St. Louis Blues

Vancouver beat St. Louis in game seven after being down 3-1 in the series. In the next round, they lost in game seven after being up 3-1 against the Wild.

Answer: 3

Toronto vs. Philadelphia, Colorado vs. Minnesota and Vancouver vs. St. Louis were all decided on April 22, 2003 in the crucial seventh game.

Answer: New York Islanders

The Islanders finished the 2002-2003 regular season with 83 points. Edmonton had 92, Anaheim had 95 and Boston had 87.

Answer: Chicago Blackhawks

The Blackhawks beat Detroit on the last day of the regular season, giving the Blackhawks 79 points and preventing the Red Wings from taking the top spot in the Western Conference. The Rangers had 78 points, tied with Los Angeles and Phoenix, while Montreal had 77.

Answer: Mats Sundin

Mogilny was hit in the face by Jeremy Roenick's flailing stick in overtime in game 3. Antropov broke his foot in game 1, but came back for games 6 and 7. Gilmour did not even play in the playoffs, having been injured almost immediately after being acquired from Montreal at the trade deadline. Sundin appeared in all 7 games.

Answer: Minnesota Wild

Manny Fernandez played in 9 games and Dwayne Roloson played in 11 for the Wild. Jeff Hacket played in 3 and Steve Shields played in 2 for the Bruins, while Dan Cloutier played for all but a few minutes for Vancouver and Garth Snow played all five games for the Islanders.

Answer: Chris Phillips

Phillips snuck in from the point to put a loose puck behind the Devil's Brodeur at 15:51 of the first overtime, after Vrada had unsuccessfully pounded at it a few times. Hossa set up the goal by putting the puck on net and Bonk scored earlier in the game.

Answer: Most shutouts recorded by a goaltender

Brodeur picked up seven shutouts, three in the finals, beating Dominik Hasek's record of six set in 2002. No one was even close to Patrick Roy's 10 overtime wins from 1993. The Ducks-Stars 5-OT opener was one of the longest games ever, but not the longest. Scott Stevens tied Roy's record for most game seven appearences with 13.

Answer: John Madden

Madden took a skate to the face in game six, received stitches and kept playing. By game seven, his eye showed a horrible bruise but he nonetheless played.

Answer: Adam Oates

Oates, age 40, won 60 percent of his draws, including the one that set up Ruslan Salei for the game winner in overtime in game three.
