Diehard New Jersey Devils fans know that Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer formed the most dominant defensive pairing in franchise history. Stevens was the captain and the enforcer — a bone-crushing, open-ice hitter whose devastating checks became the stuff of legend and whose leadership turned the Devils from a punchline into a dynasty. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP when New Jersey shocked the hockey world by sweeping the heavily favored Detroit Red Wings to win the 1995 Stanley Cup — the franchise's first championship. Niedermayer was pure grace on skates, a gifted offensive defenseman whose speed, puck-handling, and ability to control the game from the blue line made him one of the most complete players of his generation. Together they gave the Devils a blue line that could punish you physically and burn you on the scoreboard, backstopping three Stanley Cup championships in nine years. Both are Hockey Hall of Famers, and both are forever linked to the Devils' rise to greatness. If you're looking for a slick, retro t-shirt to represent the Devils and their legendary defensive duo, you'll love this political campaign-themed throwback style tee. They have my vote, what about you?
