Biggest line in the NHL

[Vikingstad]

Just saw that the line of Protas-PLD-Wilson had a good night.

They are 6'6, 6'3, and 6'4 respectively. Is this the biggest line in the NHL currently? Do you think the overwhelming size helps with productivity? Any historic examples of bigger/better lines?

The 22-23 Red Wings iced

6'8 Elmer Soderblom
6'3 Oskar Sundqvist
6'6 Michael Rasmussen


They were pretty hot for a dozen or so games, but fell off pretty hard.

That's because Soderblom can't skate.



The Habs ran for a bit of

Slafkovsky (6'3) Dach (6'4) and Laine (6'5)

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Ponikarovsky (6’4”) - Sundin (6’5”) - Antropov (6’6”)

Were those two and Roobroeck ever a line in the A ?

That'll happen when you fall from great heights.

It's tough to say, but my guess is either the blue or red line are the biggest.

This is Roobroeck first season in the AHL. Edstrom has been on the team this season.

Ahh my bad for some reason I thought he was down in the A for a bit this season.

Back in the day Bobby Ryan (or wayyy back Dustin Penner and pancakes), Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry were a monster of a line. You could not break their cycle in the corners or stop them from crashing the net. It was a treat.

Yeah us Ducks fans have nothing but fading memories now. Enjoy when you got em'.

Can’t wait for the double Protas in a couple of years. There’s a reasonable change the Caps could ice an all 6’-6” line with Mateiko in the system and looking solid as well.

There's another Protas?

 

[Ceremony]

Got beaten to this one, drat

 

[Susannah]

There's another Protas?

Ilya Protas was drafted this year by the Capitals. He is 6'5" and 18 years old.

 

[Coffee]

There's another Protas?

Yes

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The Bruins line of Knuble (6’3” 223lbs)-Thornton (6’4” 220lbs) - Murray (6’2” 221lbs)was big and good at hockey

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

There's another Protas?

There are 2 Protas-types.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Edstrom (6’7) - Carrick (6’0) - Rempe (6’9)

 

[Mitch nylander]

On the other end?

Ennis 5'9 - Gerbe 5'4 - Stafford 6'1 was iced a few times in 2013

or

Cammalleri 5'9 - Desharnais 5'7 - Gionta 5'7 was iced a few times in 2011-12

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

Tallest, don't know about biggest?

Laine, Dach and Slafkovsky played a few games together, all 3 are 6’4+

Bonus points for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall
