three reasons: and any and all professional hockey analysis will agree with me. I garentee it.
1. brodeur ( at around the age of 32 he is already approching the records set by many of the greatest goalies of all time. he is by far the best goalie in the game right now and he has many years left.)
2. great defence, players like sccot stevens. ( watch with out him the devils wll not got past the first round.)
3. this is the big one because of the TRAP. the devils are the opifany of a trap team, they so good at seting the trap they are like predetor when hunting people. the clog up the neutral zone like there is no tommorow. they clutch and grab and hook and abstruct like mad.
trap + big D + best goalie in the game = 3 cups in the last nine years.
trap is the same method that the wild used to beat colorado, and vacouver last year.
P.S. did you know that brodeur and cloutier are the only NHL goalies to have 3 concecutive 30 win seasons, in the mordern era.
