New Jersey - Ottawa 3-2 (0-1/2-0/1-1) (Playoffstand 4-3)
Zum dritten Mal in den letzten vier Jahren ziehen die New Jersey Devils in das Stanley Cup Finale ein. Im alles entscheidenden siebten Spiel des Conference Finales bezwangen sie im Corel Centre die Ottawa Senators mit 3-2 Toren. Jeff Friesen(58.) nutzte 134 Sekunden vor dem Ende der regulären Spielzeit einen Stellungsfehler der kanadischen Hausherren zum Siegtreffer. Die Senators setzten danach zwar noch einmal alles auf eine Karte und nahmen Schlussmann Patrick Lalime zu Gunsten eines weiteren Feldspielers vom Eis, schafften es aber nicht mehr sich im Drittel der Gäste festzusetzen. Der Traum von der ersten Finalteilnahme einer Mannschaft aus dem Mutterland des Eishockeys seit 1994 war damit ausgeträumt. Dabei hatte alles recht gut für die Senators begonnen. In einem von beiden Teams ungewohnt offensiv geführten ersten Spielabschnitt waren die Senators nach einem schnellen Konter über Van Allen und Havlat durch Magnus Arvedson(4.), sein Schuss landete unhaltbar direkt unter dem Torgestänge mit 1-0 in Front gegangen. Auch die Devils hatten ihre Chancen. Die beste vergab Scott Gomez als er mutterseelenallein das leere Tor vor sich hatte, den Puck aber nicht an dem bereits am Boden liegenden Lalime vorbeibrachte. Den besseren Start in den Mittelabschnitt erwischten die Gäste aus East Rutherford. Knapp vier Minuten nach der Pause ist es Jamie Langenbrunner(24./26.) der aus spitzen Winkel an den Schlittschuh von dem im Torraum stehenden Volchenkov schießt und von dort wird die Scheibe ins Gehäuse der Sens zum Ausgleich abgefälscht. Doch damit nicht genug. Nur 114 Sekunden später ist es erneut Langenbrunner, der die Senators mit dem 2-1 in einen Schockzustand versetzt. Hoffnung konnten die Gastgeber erst wieder schöpfen nachdem Radek Bonk(42.) mit seinem bereits sechsten Playofftor das Remis erneut herstellte. Letztendlich fehlte den Senators jedoch die Erfahrung und auch das Quentchen Glück, das ihnen in Spiel 6 noch hold war.

Ich weis nicht ob ich lachen oder weinen soll. Was waren das bitte für PlayOffs (Detroit erste Rund raus, Philly der zweiten, die Wild im Conferenc Final etc.). Und was sind das bitte für Finals (Devils vs. Ducks)?
Rock on, and on, and on...
John LeClair breaks down the left wing all alone, moves into the circle and cranks a wicked slap shot with zero hesitation. The baffled goaltender is left with no answers, just questions as the First Union Center's horn blazes and the crowd booms.

OTTAWA - Riding an emotional roller-coaster, the New Jersey Devils were finally able to put away the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jeff Friesen's goal with 2:14 left in regulation lifted the Devils to a wild 3-2 Game 7 win that put New Jersey in the Stanley Cup Finals for the third time in four seasons. But the situation was clearly in doubt until Friesen found the back of the Ottawa net.
Jeff Friesen ended a memorable series with his third game-winning goal late in regulation.
"Obviously, it is the biggest goal I've scored," Friesen said. "I've never had a chance to play for the Stanley Cup and to have that goal go in and now get a chance to go is a goal I'll remember and definitely a game I'll remember." The Devils had taken a 3-1 lead in the series only to see it slip away when the Senators staged clutch wins in Games 5 and 6. Ottawa, in fact, had the early 1-0 lead before the Devils rallied on the strength of two goals from Jamie Langenbrunner and the goaltending of Martin Brodeur, who made 24 saves in the series-clinching win. As has been the case so often for the Devils this postseason, center John Madden started the play that led to the winning tally by Friesen when he fed Grant Marshall with a backhand pass form the neutral zone. Marshall caught the puck and skated down the right-wing boards, where he threaded a perfect pass through two Ottawa defenders to a streaking Friesen. The Devils' left wing deked once on Patrick Lalime and sent a shot low stick side that eluded the Ottawa netminder with 2:14 to play. "It's a game of mistakes and it's a game of inches," Ottawa head coach Jacques Martin said. "We came back and tied the game, but a broken play and some miscommunication gave them an opportunity to win the game. It's frustrating, but you have to look at it from a standpoint that you can do a lot of learning from these situations." "I'm proud of our players, but obviously it's a failure because we lost the game. The business that we're in is to win the Cup." It was the third game-winning goal of the series for Friesen, who will now meet his former teammates from the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the Stanley Cup Finals. As for Lalime, the valiant Senators netminder has nothing to hang his head over, as he constantly kept his team close by making tremendous save after tremendous save in Game 7. Lalime finished the game making 24 saves out of 27 shots, 10 in the third period. The only shot that got past him in the third was Friesen's game-winner. On the other end, Brodeur was just as spectacular, stopping 24 Ottawa shots in all, 12 in the third period. The way the game started out it looked like the Senators were going to become the 12th team of the last 15 - and the third of five in 2003 -- to win Game 7 on their home ice. The Senators came out flying and got on the board first when Magnus Arvedson scored his first goal of the postseason at 3:33. But even though Arvedson got the goal, Lalime should have gotten the credit, as he was "Johnny on the Spot" three times seconds before the Ottawa winger scored to give his team a 1-0 lead. At 3:13 of the first, New Jersey defenseman Colin White sent a shot from the right point that hit Friesen on the way in and caromed to Joe Nieuwendyk in the slot. The veteran center quickly snapped a shot on goal that Lalime got his left pad on. The rebound came out to Langenbrunner, but the Devils' winger, who would do so much damage in the second period, couldn't take advantage of a prone Lalime as his shot sailed high and wide over the Ottawa cage. The Devils' third chance came when Nieuwendyk sent a shot from the left boards that Friesen re-directed wide on the short side of Lalime. Nieuwendyk wasn't able to make too many more contributions. Injured at the end of Game 6, he suffered back spasms and was lost for the contest after two shifts. After the New Jersey near-misses, the Senators got rolling. Friesen's wide try was recovered by Ottawa center Shaun Van Allen and he chipped up a pass to Martin Havlat, who dished the puck to a streaking Arvedson up the right-side boards. Arvedson raced down the wing past White and Scott Niedermayer and beat Brodeur on the stick side with a quick wrister from the slot. Lalime had to be sharp the rest of the way in order for the Sens to take a 1-0 lead into the locker room between the first and second periods. With 3:03 left in the period, he stopped Madden cold with his right skate on a semi-breakaway and then with 2:48 left he somehow got his body in front of a Scott Gomez drive that looked like a sure goal. After winning a faceoff in the Ottawa end that squirted to Grant Marshall, Gomez skated to the front of the net, where Marshall set him up perfectly with a backhand pass, but Gomez couldn't get the puck up high over a desperately sprawled Lalime, who somehow got his arm on the chance.
Niedermayer will be one of several Devils vying for their third Stanley Cup ring. He will look do it against the Mighty Ducks and his younger brother, Rob.
The Devils got on the board in the second when Langenbrunner got his eighth goal of the Playoffs and first of the series at 3:52 of the second off two lucky bounces. Niedermayer started the play from the neutral zone when he sent a beautiful pass to Sergei Brylin, who fired a shot towards the Ottawa goal that was blocked by Sens defenseman Curtis Leschyshyn. New Jersey got its first lucky bounce when the puck came to Langenbrunner in right circle. The next lucky break came when Langenbrunner sent a quick shot towards the net that deflected behind Lalime off Anton Volchenkov's skate, who was parked in the Ottawa crease to the right of his netminder. But Langenbrunner wasn't finished there. On his next shift, just 1:54 later, the New Jersey forward scored his second goal of the game to give his team a 2-1 lead. The play that got the go-ahead goal for New Jersey started after a dump-in by White. Madden raced into the left corner to get the loose puck, but Karel Rachunek avoided the pesky center. But the Ottawa defender couldn't avoid Langenbrunner, who stripped him of the puck and sent a wicked wrister on goal from the let circle that beat Lalime to give the Devs the 2-1 advantage at 5:46. The Sens tied up the game 2-2 when Radek Bonk scored his sixth of the postseason just 1:53 into the third. The Senators' pivot let a blast go from the left circle that beat Brodeur stick side to even things up. The climatic game of the Eastern Conference Finals appeared destined for an overtime ending, but Friesen had the magic touch once again for New Jersey and as a result, the Devils are headed to the Stanley Cup Finals while the Senators, winners of the Presidents' Trophy as the best team in the League during the regular season, go home wondering what might have been after a bitter defeat. "We haven't won anything yet," New Jersey head coach Pat Burns said. "We have to start all over again. It all starts again Tuesday night when the Devils square off against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
