The New Jersey Devils haven’t really had a Stanley Cup dream since 2012 when the team made an improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the Los Angeles Kings. Since then, Devils fans have needed to find alternative rooting interests in the Stanley Cup Final. Sometimes they can be former players going for the Cup, or it could be as simple as cheering against a rival.
