Memorable Game 6s: Ducks Force Game 7 in 2003 Cup Final
June 20, 2024 by Jordan Reinhardt
Doubted and for all intents and purposes counted out, the Edmonton Oilers have clawed their way back into the Stanley Cup Final and have forced a Game 6, to be held on Friday in Edmonton (June 21). You can look at it from a variety of angles – the atmosphere in Edmonton, the Herculean effort by Connor McDavid, the two-game win streak that has given the Oilers confidence – and you’ll still arrive at the same conclusion: Game 6 on Friday should be one of the most intense, high-stakes Game 6s in recent memory.
While not lately, the Anaheim Ducks happen to have a history with memorable Game 6s in the Stanley Cup Final. It was 21 years ago, when they faced off against the New Jersey Devils. It was the “Off the Floor, On the Board” game in Anaheim, which the Ducks won 5-2 to force a winner-take-all Game 7, and it undoubtedly remains as one of the most memorable games in recent Stanley Cup Final history. One the eve of Game 6 in 2024, let’s relive Game 6 in 2003.
