A New Decade Of Hope Emerges For New Jersey Devils
The tumultuous decade of the New Jersey Devils is finally over. The 2010s decade itself has left Devils fans in a ‘glass case of emotion’, famously said by Ron Burgundy in the film ‘Anchorman.’ There were some highs, highlighted by an unheralded run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2012, acquiring elite scorers in Ilya Kovalchuk and Taylor Hall for pennies on the dollar, and celebrating the careers of Devils legends Martin Brodeur, Patrik Elias and Scott Niedermayer in emotional jersey retirement ceremonies. However, there were far too many lows that saw the Devils spiral into mediocrity and recently unwatchable hockey for many Devils fans.
