In the game of hockey, much is made of individual performances and skill sets. But hockey is and always will be a team sport, and no matter how great a young player is, he will always be reliant upon his linemates. Every second on the ice is a battle. For every highlight-reel shift where a player weaves around his entire opposition and scores, there are a thousand shifts where he and his linemates have to work together for a positive result.… read more

1. That's not the Otters top line. DeBrincat has been playing with them for a while now

2. From what I've seen from London fans on this forum it's surprising those three are ranked as the number one line in the entire CHL

Correct. First thing that jumped out at me.

Second thing that jumped out at me was how the Mangiapane/Lebanc/Blandisi line isn't on there. Three 100 point scorers. It's not nearly as much the blender as the writer insinuates.

Dvorak, Marner, Rupert was Londons most effective line.

Dvorak, Marner, Rupert was Londons most effective line.

By a mile. everyone is in love with thinking Domi while fact is he has just killed Devoraks numbers and hampered Marner significantly.

Dvorak, Marner, Rupert was Londons most effective line.

Putting Domi, Marner and Dvo as the top line in the OHL is a joke. It is not even London's top line this year. Unfortunately it is garbage like this that does not help with people getting their back up re London.

Domi/Dvorak/Marner is not London's top line. They have the most points..but they literally suck ass as a unit. Domi doesn't even sniff 100 points without Marner/Dvorak. Mitch and Christian both score the same if not more without Domi...and it was proven over the World Jr's. Get the facts straight before publishing this type of trash.

Hounds line of Bunting/McCann/Tolchinsky is pretty scary also...add DeAngelo into the mix on the back line and it's basically a 4-man line

While I do agree point wise they may be a good unit and offensively can put the puck into the back of the net if you give them the opportunity, once a team manages to shutdown that line, the whole team is basically shutdown it seems

During WJC with Domi gone, Marner and Dvo combined for 52 points in 9 games (5.78 PPG). Including Rupert, it was 69.

The duo's production has been literally halved when playing with Domi. Shouldn't sniff this list let alone be #1, IMO.

When the article refers to "newly formed" line, is that as of this season, or late in the season?
