In Lou We Trust, a New Jersey Devils community

In response to a user question, I explain what the neutral zone trap is, what's required to make it work, and why the New Jersey Devils were so effective with the trap in the mid-1990s.

In light of some recent praise for the New Jersey Devils' then-9-game winning streak, the trap is credited to the Devils' success. In an editorial, I explain why I don't think the trap has been key to the Devils' recent wins.
