What in your mind is the best defensive pairing in NHL history? By that I mean most dominant. I haven't watched hockey as long as some of the people on this board but I've made it pretty obvious, Pronger Niedermayer is the best pairing I've ever seen. They took an average group of forwards(though I'll admit they chipped in goals at the perfect time and were an underrated hardnosed group) and a defense with next to no depth to the cup playing close to or sometimes more than 30 minutes a go at the same level for all 30 minutes. Two very different dmen who complimented eachother perfectly.
A few other notable pairings-
Stevens-Niedermayer
Orr-Park
MacInnis-Pronger
and to add on top of that some of the pairings montreal has had in the past have been pretty formiddable. My question is who is the greatest defense pairing in nhl history in your mind?
