Mack / the one with mcdavid on it

 

[wintersej]

Its Pastrnak.

Bruins fan saying the in this regular season the Avs line has been better so far. In the playoffs and long term? I dunno. But through 1/15 the Avs trio has been best.

 

[Llamamoto]

Chiasson - McDavid - Draisaitl

 

[CraigsList]

The Avs line has dominated this season

 

[Rubi]

Avs line is leading but Flames line is slowly closing the gap

 

[FerklundCGY]

Chiasson - McDavid - Draisaitl

Lmao

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

The Avs line. Not even close.

 

[La Masse]

As much as it pain me to say it its the Bruins line. Sure the Avs trio is devastating offensively but the Bruins line has 2 players on it(Bergeron and Marchand) who are absolutely terrific defensively. To me the Bruins line has the perfect combination and each guy compliments the other

 

[Connor McConnor]

Boston for me.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Avs
Bruins
Flames

 

[Peggy]

I wouldve went with Boston's 1st line

Bergeron tips the scale with his defensive skills

But I guess you can't ignore the avs line either

 

[JoVel]

Any reasoning for switching to full caps midway through the poll options? I don't mind it, just curious.

Bergeron/Pastrnak/Marchand.

 

[FerklundCGY]

+6.36 Rel CF%
55.29% FF%
53.09% SF%

56% xGF%
+7.5 Rel xGF%

3.17 GF/60
3.17 GA/60
2.64 xGF/60
2.07 xGA/60

The Flames trio is quite clearly the best trio offensively and have the best metrics across the board.

The Avs trio is fantastic offensively but their metrics kind of vary across the board and seem to be over-performing a little.

The Boston trio is fantastic defensively of course but also struggles a bit offensively, although they also have great metrics for the most part

 

[Section88]

Bostons first line if you want one that will win you a playoff series

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Wilson

 

[moropanov]

Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Wilson

Yea right about as valid as saying best line in hockey is lets say Tanev Roslovic Perreault or somethink like that

 

[Trap Jesus]

I just think Bergeron is such a unique piece from what any of the other lines have. they aren't as good offensively as the Avs line, but they can win the head-to-head game vs. anyone because of Bergeron.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

how is johnson-point-kucherov not an option?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

how is johnson-point-kucherov not an option?

Yeah. I was looking for that option too. The likely Art Ross winner should be in this discussion.

 

[Addison Rae]

Boston trio but Domnic has a point, Kuch’s line clearly needs to be an option.

 

[Future GOAT]

Where is the Tampa option?

 

[Canada Drai]

how is johnson-point-kucherov not an option?

Missing a bunch of top end talent to put the likes of Nashville's or Buffalo's up there.
Baffling.

EDM/TB/WSH are all superior to those two at least.
