Game 1 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals will take place tonight at Continental Airlines Arena when the New Jersey Devils will take on the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

Adam Oates '85 is one of the team leaders for Anaheim, scoring both goals in Game 4 of the Western Conference Championship against the Minnesota Wild. Oates previously played in the Stanley Cup Finals for the Washington Capitals when they lost to the Detroit Red Wings in 1998. In an interview on Anaheim's team web site, Oates talks about this season's playoff run, the similarities and differences between this year and 1998, and briefly, about the 1985 NCAA Championship.

The Devils are, arguably, the local team for the RCNJ. The Ottawa Senators took the Devils to a seventh game before the Devils put them away with a hard-fought road victory.

Another RPI alumnus who will be in the building tonight is Sandeep Nandy '94, known to many RCNJ members as one of the biggest Devils fans in the world. Sandeep will be rooting for the Devils.
