#4 Back-Breaker to win Cup vs Ottawa (June 6, 2007)

It was tough to rank this moment here but just goes to show you how many big moments Niedermayer had for the Ducks. And even though this was in the Cup-clinching game the Ducks were already up 4-2 in the 3rd period. Not that two goals is an unbelievable lead but the way the Ducks were playing in the game and series they seemed to be in good shape. But this shot from Niedermayer was the real back-breaker that started to allow all Ducks fans to start the countdown to celebration time.

Possibly the best 3rd-4th line (however, you want to rank them) the Ducks have ever had in Rob Niedermayer-Sami Pahlsson-Travis Moen were doing what they had all season and playoffs long. Getting in on the forecheck, playing their position and cycling the puck Scott saw his opportunity to jump up and join the play. A loose puck found its way towards the blue line and Niedermayer activated putting a low hard shot towards the net. Moen was able to get a great tip on it and beat Ray Emery. Again it wasn’t the hardest shot, it wasn’t the fastest shot but it was the smartest and resulted in a goal that all but sealed the Ducks Cup Championship.
