| French Connection was Gilbert Perrault, Rene Robert, and Rick Martin. The production line (I think it was Marcel Dionne, Charlie Simmer and Dave Taylor...not exactly sure if that was right). And the Punch Line |

Heatley, Spezza and Alfredsson have been referred to as the CASH line, Pizza line(promotional giveaways at home games), and the ASH line.
The Smurf line was a pretty good name too. Saku Koivu, Valeri Bure, and Oleg petrov |

The GAG line was Rod Gilbert, Jean Ratelle, and Vic Hadfield...
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

In the 30s and 40s the Bruins had the Kraut Line (Woody Dumart, Milt Schmidt and Bobby Bauer). Not sure if you could get away with that name in these politically correct times.
As a kid (way way back in other words), I once worked in a place that had all the old newspapers from the 30s and 40s. When my buddies and I were goofing off (happened once in a while ), we'd go through the sports sections of those old papers. Using the box scores for the games, I'd pretend to be Foster Hewitt and broadcast the games for my buddies. From this, we all came to know one thing. That Kraut line was VERY dominant back then! |

There have been TONS of Kid Lines. I remember Graves, Gelinas, and Joe Murphy.
Now, the Oilers commentators are calling it the kid line every time Cogliano and Gagner are on the ice at the same time.
The Kid Line is far over used.
If you are under the age of 15, please do some research before you make a post about anything pre-1997. |

Will there ever be another GAG line.
In this era of hockey to keep a line togather for the entire season just does not seem possible.
I will have to see how Spezza, Heatley, and Alfredsson are doing, they may have a shot...
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

Sorry no dice for the Ottawa line, non of the three scored in the 5th game they played.
A goal a game will be a tough to accomplish...

Gretzky's first linemates were Blair McDonald and Brett Callighen, which was known as the GMC line. Also it is odd that there wasn't one before for the Oilers, but the "Pipeline", I believe, was Bernie Nicholls, Petr Klima, and Joe Murphy.
The Oil WILL make the playoffs. |

| Very interesting topic. To Spade 632, the MPH line for Chicago in the 60's and 70's, are you sure that was Stan Mikita, or was it Pit Martin , that played with Jim Pappin and Dennis Hull ? I seemed to recall Mikita with Cliff Koroll a lot in the early 70's. One other dominant line in the 70's was Philadelphia's trio of Bobby Clarke, Reggie Leach and Bill Barber. They may have been called the LCB line, but I'm not sure. It's not much of a name, but the line was pretty good in its day. |

I'm not 100 percent but I'm pretty sure it was Mikita, Pappin and Hull.
Here's another linename though: "The 2 Kids & an Old Goat line" — Detroit Red Wings — Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, and Brett Hull |
