Blurrrred Lines ........

Blurrrred Lines ..........
Over the years , there have been great line combinations in the NHL like the production line , the French connection , the triple crown line , the legion of doom and many others .
In Leaf land , we also have had some incredible lines and line duos like The Kid Line ( Connacher , Primeau , Busher Jackson ) , how about the hound line with Clark , Courtnall , Leeman , how about Thompson, Sittler , McDonald and some very effective checking lines like Berg , Zezel , Osborne , we now have Marner and Tavares and possibly Mathews and Nylander ??? .......
Which line combinations and or line Duos do you think have been great or very effective , or straight out bad with no chemistry what so ever ( Sundin, Hoglund lol )
I’ve left off many of my favorites so you can come up with your own .
Also if you would like , some of your favorites from other teams ?
Any thoughts
Go Leafs Go !.....

The teams were terrible but Dan Daoust and Rick Vaive had some decent chemistry between themselves for a couple of seasons. There was the Hound line of Leeman, Courtnall and Clark. Not forwards but Kaberle setting up McCabe's one timers was pretty memorable. Sundin and Steve Thomas was one of the few good combinations for Sundin. He was also good with Mogilny although Mogilny when healthy was good with anyone.

You could only enjoy them ironically.

Good ones , I forgot about Danny Daoust , he was such a great spark for a couple of years for sure .

You have to admit that during the 78 playoffs , they were incredibly effective against the islanders

[Its not your fault]

Put the line in the coconut and mix it all up.

 

[Gary Nylund]

The kid line was pretty cool way back when, Laurie Boschman, John Anderson and Rocky Saganiuk.

I loved the Berg Zezel Osborne line. I’m really glad Burns didn’t run over Berg with his truck.

Me to , I thought they were as good of a checking line as there was , omg we could use them now !

Todd Gill, Brian Curran, Luke Richardson, Darren Veitch, Ricky Lanz even a shift or 2 with Borje as I recall.

Too funny brotha , I’m sure the King was thrilled about that lol
One good thing about that , you were probably faster and more offensive than Veitch , and Curran and more effective than Lanz lol
F .... I hated Lanz

I'm so surprised that no one yet has mentioned Gilmour and Andreychuk, that was the team that got us closest to the finals since 67 (and if not for biased reffing, we were in the finals). Another great back in the day is Wilf Paiement (97 points in 77 games) with Sittler.

 

[Warden of the North]

Favourite of my youth was Roberts-Sundin-Mogilny

I dont even know how many they played together. Probably not as many as my memory tells me

Throw back line
1946-47, 'the Kid Line II' with Howie Meeker and Vic Lynn. Teeder Kennedy

Gilmour and Andreychuk - probably hasn't been mentioned because that's just two guys? I mean yeah they had Boreshevsky I think but still ... and they weren't together that long either. Same thing with Paiement and Sittler, the line that comes to mind with Sittler is him with Errol Thompson and you know, the guy they traded for Paiement (and Hickey). Same deal there, Thompson wasn't as good as the other guys but he did put up a lot of points for a bit. Three guys together that are all good, work together well and stay together for a while just isn't that common any more. Sundin with Mogilny and Roberts was good while it lasted, maybe Tavares with Marner and Hyman will be a thing for a few years. Hyman's a big notch below the other guys gut fits pretty well all the same IMO.

Decent song. Didn't Robin Thicke get sued for the song sounding similar to Marvin Gaye's "Got to give it up"?

I had some favourite Leaf lines over the past.

1970's of Errol Thompson – LW / Darryl Sittler – C / Lanny McDonald – RW

This was the Leafs line when Darryl Sittler scored his NHL record 10 point night in 1976, one of my favourite Leaf memories of all time.

best leaf line I have seen... cherry used to tape his tv show in hamilton...when talking about this line he said "couldn't stop them so you tried to limit the damage to have a chance to win" .....

ballard in his wisdom figured we weren't tough enough so he traded thompson and a ton of futures to detroit for danny snowshoes maloney ...

Toronto Maple Leafs acquire	Date	Detroit Red Wings acquire
Dan Maloney 1980 2nd round pick (#25-Craig Muni) [TBODY] [/TBODY]	March 13, 1978	1978 2nd round pick (#31-Al Jensen) 1978 1st round pick (#12-Brent Peterson) Errol Thompson 1980 1st round pick (#11-Mike Blaisdell) [TBODY] [/TBODY]
