ANAHEIM, Calif. -- If the Cinderella Mighty Ducks of Anaheim want to dance with Lord Stanley's Cup, they're going to have to steal it. More specifically, Jean-Sebastien Giguere is going to have to pull a Soprano's-type heist in New Jersey on Monday night.
The Ducks' goalie -- Conn Smythe-brilliant in the first three playoff rounds against the Wings, Stars and Wild -- has been Pete Peeters-average against the Devils in this topsy-turvy Stanley Cup final. In the first five games, Giguere posted a pedestrian 2.54 goals-against average and a good, but not great, save percentage of .912.
Hey, those numbers won't get him invited back to see Jay Leno.
