There are a lot of players in the history of the New Jersey Devils that were so important in ways that don’t always show up on the stat sheets. In the days of this team’s real playoff success, a player needed to be very good at every end of the rink in order to have a chance to make it. One of those solid pieces was Grant Marshall.
Marshall came to New Jersey just in time to win the 2003 Stanley Cup. He played 10 games for them after being acquired by the Dallas Stars where he also won a Stanley Cup. He was a great addition to a team trying to win a third in a span of nine years.
You learned about the time that Colin White appeared on “Impractical Jokers” earlier and Grant Marshall was there with him to partake in the skit. Marshall and White got to blast slapshots on Sal and Q as they lost the game for the day so they had to face punishment. It was brilliant to watch as fans of the team seeing the Devils get some big-time exposure. Marshall is on Facebook, but it would be awesome to see him get on Twitter.
