The New Jersey Devils began its life as the Kansas City Scouts, which started playing in 1974-75. After two seasons in Kansas City, the franchise relocated to Denver and became the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies struggled and only made the postseason one time before once again relocating, this time to New Jersey where they remain today. The team has been much more successful in New Jersey and has made the playoffs 23 times since moving. Those postseason appearances include three Stanley Cups, all of which were won in a period of nine seasons—1995, 2000, and 2003. This period was headlined by elite goaltending from Martin Brodeur and the neutral zone trap, a strategy that became synonymous with the Devils. Along with those three Stanley Cups, the Devils reached the Stanley Cup Final on two more occasions—2001 and 2012.
