Favourite Past Habs 4th liner

[donghabs98]

Since we are still 2 days away from a Habs game and a storm is burying down on central Canada, why not take a trip down memory lane?

Who was your personal favorite Habs 4th liner? For context these are players who either played exclusively in a 4th line role for the Habs or are generally considered 4th line players (I.e. Briere or Streit doesn't count as they were their out of circumstance).

Kostopoulos and Metropolit and Bégin

 

[David Suzuki]

Weise and Metro.

Kostopoulos and Metropolit and Bégin

Kostopoulos was a 1st liner in Carbo’s world

 

[angusyoung]

John Kordic.

 

[Runner77]

Ryan White. Loved that slew foot he pulled on Therrien during practice.

 

[knuck]

I liked Lapierre. I don't know why everyone hated him so much lol. I guess his antics were ambarassing sometimes but I liked his intensity

 

[overlords]

Metropolit was a beast and maybe one of my favorite hab personalities ever, but as far as overall technical ability, I really loved what Dominic Moore brought.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Bégin or Bouillon

Hands down Yvon Lambert

Hands down Yvon Lambert

Yvon was not a 4th liner...

 

[Draft]

Tomas Vanek for sure.

 

[1909]

Tomas Vanek for sure.

.... and more recently... Galchenyuk !

Dominc Moore during his short time with us was amazing.

 

[peate]

Lambert was second line with Mario ans Reggie.

 

[TennisMenace]

Was Aaron Asham 3rd or 4th line? I like what he brought to the table.

 

[ECWHSWI]

surprised not everyone is saying Weise.

I loved Boutnival-Briere-Weise. They scored some big goals for us in the playoffs.

I would like a 4th line that is that offensive, while also being responsible defensively.

Unfortunately, I don't see Nate Thompson contributing to that.

 

[Lshap]

Weise.

 

[CauZuki]

Galchenyuk...

 

[ArtPeur]

Weise was also playing, for some time, in the top-6.. as was Deslauriers.

Kostopoulos was a 1st liner in Carbo’s world

.. and Dandenault.
.. or Darche under Martin

Moen was interesting, although he probably played more on the 3rd line

Georges Laraque and George Parros though

.. and Mark Streit

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Skrudland was once a 4th liner. Mike McPhee, Ryan Walter, Mario Tremblay... we used to have wicked 4th lines who were very hard to play against.

 

[azcanuck]

Mike McPhee was a big winger who didn't score much in the regular season. But when things got intense and the checking tight in the playoffs he always scored big goals.
That's what you need on a 4th line. I like that we have guys like Armia who is the type of guy who should be ideal in the post season. And yes I know he's not a 4th liner here.

Chris Nilan
Steve Begin

Galchenyuk...

yeah, he beats out Vanek.... and Kovalev
