Well think about it, Giguere wanted the Cup, not the Con Smythe. If you think the fans were booing Giguere, you're wrong, they were booing that Broduer didn't get it. Let's think of the records he set:

7 Shut outs in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in one year.
3 Shut outs in the Stanley Cup FINALS

Sure Giguere held up the Ducks to get them as far as they did, and yeah he was an unknown player prior to the playoffs, then all of a sudden he became a household name. So you're going to argue that the Ducks had no supporting cast and that the Devils had a few all stars outside of Broduer. Well..hell, Marion Gaborik was still the playoff points leader despite the fact he did not even play in the finals, perhaps he should of gotten it instead. I think the reason why the NHL gave it to Giguere...to keep people intrested, and that's just simply bullshit. Broduer put up better stats and he clearly deserved it.

Also...Congrats to the Devils, and their fans. Likewise to the Ducks fans, and players. The one thing that makes hockey different then any other sport...it's not the cup, it's the handshakes that the teams do at center ice. So that the ENTIRE world knows, it's still about sportsmanship.
