After making it to the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals and losing in the seventh game, the team placed fourth in the Pacific Division and 12th in the Western Conference, thereby failing to qualify for the 2004 Stanley Cup playoffs. Offseason In the 2003 NHL entry draft, the Ducks selected Ryan Getzlaf with their first first-round pick, 19th overall, and Corey Perry with their second first-round pick, 28th overall. Forward Steve Rucchin was named team captain following Paul Kariya's departure to the Colorado Avalanche via free agency.Rucchin named captain of Mighty Ducks http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=53255 TSN.ca January 5, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20031220125037/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=53255 December 20, 2003 September 8, 2003 Regular season The departure of franchise player Paul Kariya marked another new era which had many fans angered as well as worried about future of the teams' on-ice success. Signing Sergei Fedorov and Vaclav Prospal in the summer relieved most of the fans' fear. Both players delivered as expected but scoring decreased for several reasons: Mike Leclerc played only 10 games, Rob Niedermayer played only 55 games. Andy McDonald stayed healthy but had trouble repeating his performance after missing half of last season due to a concussion; Chistov suffered from "sophomore jinx" collecting only 2 goals. Rookie Joffrey Lupul had a wonderful rookie campaign with a bright future ahead. Overall, while the team had more potential scoring depth, but several players did not perform as expected. The defense performed well enough but J. S. Giguere failed at times to play the way he did the year before allowing soft goals. Later that season backup goalie Martin Gerber saw more ice time challenging Giguere for the number one spot and nearly outperforming him. Playing away from home did not do them well as the Mighty Ducks won 19 games at home but only 10 games on the road.
