While the New Jersey Devils’ glory days and success in the Stanley Cup Playoffs have been absent in recent memory, Jersey’s team did have some memorable and notable success in the postseason against one team in particular during the early 2000’s.
En-route to back-to-back to Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2000 and 2001, the Devils were able to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs during both runs to the Final and in the Eastern Conference Semi-Conference Finals.
It’s a sour subject for Toronto fans, especially since the Leafs had some legitimate Stanley Cup contending rosters during those campaigns mentioned above.
