4. NJ Devil (New Jersey Devils)

In 1982, the Colorado Rockies (no, not the baseball team) left the mountains and headed east to the state of New Jersey. The Devils didn’t accumulate much success until they hired Lou Lamoriello in 1987. Once Lou arrived, the fortunes of the franchise changed dramatically.

New Jersey established a defensive system and mastered it. It helps when you draft one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the sport. Martin Brodeur and company won three Stanley Cups in an eight-year span. When Marty and Lou left, the franchise began to cool off. They missed the playoffs five straight years. However, things are beginning to heat up again. There has only been one man who’s seen it all.

The NJ Devil strikes fear into everyone who makes eye contact with him. He was named after the New Jersey Devil who roamed South Jersey. The NJ Devil is a dangerous mascot. When you discuss evil, the terms devil and Satan are often used. Who wants to mess around with the devil? Dates with Satan are reserved for the most despicable people around.

You don’t want to get on the NJ Devil’s bad side. You may wake up in H-E-double hockey sticks. Don’t be fooled by his grin. The New Jersey Devils’ mascot is very unpleasant. He will become very vile and vicious if you involve yourself in his personal affairs.
