Since there is absolutely nothing going on right now, let’s go back in time New Jersey Devils fans. Let’s actually go towards the end of the team’s run of dominance that lasted nearly two decades. The Devils just finished a run to the Stanley Cup Final that fell two wins short of seeing a fourth banner go up. And then, tragedy struck in the form of a lockout.
The 2012-13 season was shortened to 48 games and did not start until January because of the expired Collective Bargaining Agreement. That had a big effect on a lot of teams, but it also brought up interesting time for our own New Jersey Devils.
