Hellohellohello. The question of the best hockey lines has been discussed here many times I guess, but how about the best defense pairings? Here are some I could name with my limited knowledge.
Vyacheslav Fetisov - Alexei Kasatonov
Hey, these guys played well together even after they had stopped talking to each other! Both could make a transition from defense to offense and vice versa in a second. KLM was devastating as it was but these two made it even better. By all means the best ever European defense pair.
Larry Robinson - Serge Savard
Savard is one of my favourite players, but admittedly Robinson was THE MAN of the Big Three. These two were a great match with Robinson as the offensive guy and Savard taking care more of the defensive duties. You know, the late-70s Habs was such a well-balanced team that no wonder they dominated the NHL.
Bobby Orr - Dallas Smith
Nothing against Smith, but he´s not the reason why this pair is on the list. Still, he can´t be that bad since he played over 800 games for the Bruins. But yeah, had to put Bobby Orr somewhere here, so...
Al Macinnis - Gary Suter
A dangerous pair on Calgary´s power plays. Poor goalies and players who had to block their shots!
