Right, I'm not trying to say that Giguere was lousy or anything of the short. He had a GREAT run. But as you said, it was basically even, except that Brodeur played better in the finals and, you know, actually won the cup.
IMHO, you don't give the Smythe to someone on a losing team unless they really clearly outplay everyone on the team that won, and Giguere absolutely did NOT do that. As I said, Brodeur got punished because it wasn't as good of a story because he was already well known as being great and the Devils were a better team. Completely ridiculous.
