With the exception of maybe a couple other players, nobody has meant more to the Devils than Stevens. When Devils fans think
of a captain, they always refer back to him.
And why not? He was a huge leader by example out on the ice. He was one of the most punishing hitters ever to play the game,
never afraid to get into a fight, and even a valuable piece of any offensive puzzle. Many people forget that about him because
he's more well known for his defensive play and hard hits.
Oh, those hard hits. The stuff this legend is made of. Recently, I've been wanting to see a movie made for YouTube called
"Scott Stevens' Greatest Hits" and be a parody of the Dear Sister skit from Saturday Night Live. You'd have all the huge and
more notable ones on there.
Especially the Eric Lindros one.
Of course, every captain that have come/will come after him since his retirement will always be compared to him. To me, it isn't
exactly a fair comparison, as everybody leads in their own way.
And also, how can you compare anybody to a Hall-of-Famer unless you're comparing another Hall-of-Famer?
