Line Combos: Best 3rd line ever?

[jonlin]

Florida 3rd line of Luostarinen-Lundell-Marchand has to be up there. They are 1,2&4 in scoring for Florida, while having the best +/- on team.

Marchand 12gp 3g 9a 12p +11
Luostarinen 12gp 3g 9a 12p +11
Lundell 12gp 4g 6a 10p +9

Thoose are some incrediable stats for 3rd liners who also play a reliable 200ft game and is probably the best defending line on Florida.

They're 5, 6, and 7 for EV TIO/GP. It seems that they are the 2nd line.

They're 5, 6, and 7 for EV TIO/GP. It seems that they are the 2nd line.

9, 12, 13 on the team in ice time per game, or 5 7 8 for forwards

 

[olli]

9, 12, 13 on the team in ice time per game, or 5 7 8 for forwards

On but what about for even strength forwards

9, 12, 13 on the team in ice time per game, or 5 7 8 for forwards

Probably could have left out the icetime relative to the defense in a thread discussing their rank amongst forwards.

 

[jetsforever]

Not the best "ever" but having Marchand on the 3rd line is a great luxury

 

[Hollowmoon]

Has to be one of the best 3rd line for sure. Those are excellent numbers in playoffs

 

[Kiekura]

Lundells line was one of the big reasons why they won SC last year.

This year it is even better.

 

[danpantz]

Marchand wins a second cup this year he's definitely in the Hall of Fame, probably on the first try.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Florida has one of the better 3rd lines. Up there with Kessel-Bonino-Hagelin.

 

[Drumman44]

I liked the 2015 Blackhawks of Sharp / Vermette / Teravainen

The first two lines in Chicago and Tampa/Anaheim kind of fought each other to a draw and the third line did a lot of the scoring in big moments.

 

[Leafshater67]

If Bennett leaves in free agency, Lundell will finally get recognized for his talent and play as a 2nd liner. Many casual fans have no idea who this guy is but they’re going to learn.

 

[D1az]

As a skilled player as Marchand on the 3rd line is insanely beneficial.

The Oilers should challenge them by putting Draisaitl and McDavid on the 3rd and 4th lines respectively.

 

[End of Line]

HBK for me, but the combo of Lundell and Loustarainen is lethal and add Marchand to that? Good lord.

Nick Bonino? Awesome. Reminds me of the video clip of him scoring a goal and a broadcast of it being called in Punjabi (might be wrong on the language). "Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino! Nick Boninoooo!"

 

[Konnan511]

The Grind Line of the late 90s Detroit Red Wings all day baby.

 

[AUAIOMRN]

Whoever was on the third line of the 2002 Red Wings

 

[paragon]

They're 5, 6, and 7 for EV TIO/GP. It seems that they are the 2nd line.

With that logic Barkov is a second line center as he is 4th in EV TOI/GP

I think it's fair to call them the 3rd line because Lundell is 7th and Luostarinen 8th in total ice time for Florida forwards.

Marchand is a beast.

 

[hirawl]

That's what depth looks like. And depth usually wins against top heavy. Even more so in playoffs series.

 

[Canucks LB]

You think I'm cute, I know I'm sexy, I got the looks that drive the girls wild

That line was absolutely insane for that cup run

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Pahlsson with Neidermeyer and Moen for the Ducks in 06-07? It's probably folly to call any group like this the best ever, but I'm putting them in the conversation.

 

[pi314]

Nick Bonino? Awesome. Reminds me of the video clip of him scoring a goal and a broadcast of it being called in Punjabi (might be wrong on the language). "Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino! Nick Boninoooo!"

 

[CoffeyMcMan]

Whoever was on the third line of the 2002 Red Wings

Wasn't that Robitaille-Larionov-Hull?

 

[Hollowmoon]

All points from Luostarinen is ES points.
