It was expensive and difficult to buy a ticket for a New Jersey Devils game when the Detroit Red Wings were in town 10 or 20 years ago.
All-time greats took to the ice for decades at a time between New Jersey and Detroit. Hockey Hall of Famers such as Scott Stevens and Steve Yzerman, just naming two of many, laced up the skates and played the game the way it was always meant to be played.
Keep in mind that Detroit didn’t always visit the Devils, or only did once a season at most when the Red Wings were in the Western Conference.
