Line Combos: Favorite Bruins line of the last 20 years

Just watching Bergeron and Marchand play together for 8+ years has been a treat.

The 700 lb line was fun

Speaking of the 700-Pound Line, how heavy was the Legion of Doom?

Lucic - Krejci - Horton

By far for me.

Since it's the end of the year I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the better line combos the Bruins have had in recent history. I didn't start watching hockey full time until 2008 so I only have from then on to go by.

For me it was Lucic-Savard-Kessel. They had the right mix of speed, skill, toughness so they could beat you in a lot of ways. Sometimes I wonder what the team would be like if Kessel stayed and Savard never got hurt; would Krejci still be on the team? Would they have won a cup? Just think of how good they would have been if they stuck together for a few years, with Lucic turning into a better player.

So many honorable mentions.... Wheeler-Krejci-Ryder, Marchand-Campbell-Thornton, Paille-Campbell-Thornton, Marchand-Bergeron-Recchi, Lucic-Krejci-Horton

im huge fan of begeron/marchand/pastrnak but thats too easy

I liked thornton/Knuble/rolston but they didnt play together a lot... I called it before it happened and people ripped me apart because both Knuble and rolston were still massively struggling but they turned out pretty good so pat myself on the back for that

I liked stumpel/murray and I think maybe it was czerkawski playing with them on a 4th line... possibly brent hughes… was an exciting 'kid' line that I had high hopes for.

going back beyond 20 years my favorite all time line was oreilly with McNab and I guess either stan Jonathon or don marcotte usually was the other winger... I was like 8-9 years old at the time and really into full hero worship mold and I wouldnt blink when these guys got on the ice... just loved them so much

could fight... could score... played defense... never seemed to take a shift off... that was what definied bruin hockey to me

This^

This line dominated all three zones often night in and out. They were strong in transition and puck control. Setting up their triangle in the o zone and working teams.

In short, they beat teams and they beat them up. And man do I miss it!

Looking back I didn't realize at the time how special this line really was...

Lucic was such a special player.

30 goals, good defensively, good leader and in his prime a guy nobody wanted to fight.
