Legion of Doom line could flat out not be stopped could have been the most dominant ever if stayed together. To bad they didn't have any other parts around them to help with the load or they wouyld have won a couple cups.monster_bertuzzi said:Dont forget about Tkachuk - Zhamnov - Selanne in Winnipeg. Simply dominant.

You beat me to this one!Kritter471 said:The Grumpy-Old Men Line (Dallas, circa 2000) John MacLean-Kirk Muller-Mike Keane. Not quite the "greatest" combination, but knew exactly what they were supposed to do and were damn good at it.

Also any line with Mario on it simply put up sick numbers in the early 90's

Diffficult to argue,they sure could toss the bisquit around beautifully,a treat to watch.I might put in 1 or 2 other Russian lines into this mix also............f%$k, they all passed well it seemed,even the guys who would were their bottom players.Some of it had to do with their system and how they approached and taught the game for sure. The old Soviets turned Team passing play into an art form if you ask me.When we used to play them they could scare the s$%t out of ya. Great passersBoucicaut said:Agreed.

salzy said:LOL I hope you are talking from a pure point production standpoint, because in terms of sheer dominance from the beginning of a shift to the end, it really is no contest. Tkachuk was the only one of the Jets 3 that you really needed to be aware of when you were on the ice. Lindros, Leclair and Renberg were all very capable of seperating you from your extremeties when they were in their prime.

I remember our guys at one point in the game or other would have this "who's got the f$%"king puck for them now" look on their face.It was almost comical.......... if it had'nt so damn serious a concern. I know there was precious few chuckles out of me that's for sure.
Yeah. I can't stand the Penguins but I have to admit that line was great. Hrdina showed great puckhandling, skating and passing ability too.Jovanovski = Norris said:Lemiux - Hrdina - Jagr
In terms of pure passing magic, that line is right up there with the best ever, IMO, and as good as Elias-Arnott-Sykora I'd say.Jovanovski = Norris said:Kovalev - Lang - Straka
The best two passing lines, yes, I agree.Jovanovski = Norris said:Possibly the best two lines I've seen play for a team at the same time.
That was a good passing line. Hull passed more than he's known for.Jadakiss said:How about Zetterberg Datsyuk Hull?

great line!!!mazmin said:The Winnipeg Jets had a young line that could do it all:
LW Tkachuk C Zhamnov RW Selanne
A powerforward a playmaker and a sniper, if the Jets had the money to keep them together there could have been some brighter days.
