The best 'checking line' You ever saw?

[billybudd]

Habs lines are simply not on the same planet than other ones mentionned...

The worst is, not only you had to deal with Gainey/Jarvis/Roberts, but you also had Tremblay/Risebrough/Lambert...

And later came Gainey/Carbo/Nilan, along with McPhee/TheScrew/Corson, add it up with Claude Lemieux...

Jesus. Request Habs disqualification for all future topics like this one. This isn't fair.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Definitely the Grind Line.

Minnesota Line for the Philadelphia Flyers. Kudos to Trent Klatt, Joel Otto, and Shjon Podein.

Dave Hunter. Craig mactavish and pat hughes

the thing about those Wings teams was that every all-star centerman was elite defensively: Fedorov, Yzerman, Larionov, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Draper...

seven selkes, and that's not even counting larionov and zetterberg's contributions. simply not fair.

my homer pick is burrows - kesler - hansen, before burrows was put on the sedin line and became a 30 gaol scorer, before the canucks acquired sundin and he transformed kesler from a point every other game player to a point/game player, and before cooke became the worst human being in hockey history.

after cooke left, we also saw a bit of pyatt - kesler - burrows, burrows - kesler - hansen, and burrows - kesler - bernier, which were also excellent checking lines. but that toxic combination of burrows, kesler, and cooke was something else.

Yes, Kesler, Cooke, and Burrows were awesome together.

I've got a soft spot for Osborne - Zezel - Berg for the Leafs. They were really good for a brief time under Pat Burns.

Wondered if anyone would mention them. They were so good in that 93 playoff run.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Don Luce between Craig Ramsey and Danny Gare in Buffalo.

Not a bad checking line when your right winger can pot 50 goals a couple years.

 

[Jets]

Maltby Draper McCarty

I remember the Osborne - Leeman - Olczyk line which was more of a scoring line. They were pretty good together.

The Grind line.
Dmac was the original Avs killer before the Mule.
