Sometimes good/great players just don't have good chemistry with each other, or their playing styles don't mesh well. What are the best examples people can think of?
One that stood out to me was Jagr playing with Bergeron and Marchand for the 2013 playoffs. Jagr isn't the easiest player to play with in general, but his puck possession style of play did not work at all with the other 2, who are known more for cycling and quick passing. It led to Bergeron/Marchand deferring to Jagr quite a bit, and it just didn't end up going anywhere most of the time. It can probably partly be attributed to playoffs vs. regular season, but that line's production went way down after putting Jagr in place of Seguin on the RW.
