Hi everyone!
As always I hope all of you are doing well and staying healthy.
At work today I thought of this one to get educated on. Being a Wings fan here I obviously became very familiar with our "Grind Line" of Maltby-Draper-McCarty/Kocur. In a "historical" sense though, I honestly don't know how their production would compare against other "checking" lines that could provide offense.
Did any of the dynasties (70's Habs, 80's Islanders, 80's Oilers and others) happen to have a checking line that provided some "surprisingly" good offense upon review of the numbers? I'd welcome knowledge as well of course of other teams not considered dynasties whose "checking" lines but up good offense (it would be cool to learn if the Devils' "crash line" had some good offensive numbers in hindsight for example).
I hope for a good, stimulating thread as always! Thanks-Jim
