Aww you should make one with duos you remember together. I'd vote on it if I've seen some of the guys.

 

[Fear]

Rick Nash as a player definitely gives huge nostalgia, especially for team Canada.

But I could care less about Brassard and don't really see them as a duo tbh

 

[Bouboumaster]

I mean, two are more obvious than the others IMO

It's between Nashville and Ottawa

 

[innitfam]

Alfredsson/Spezza
Weber/Suter
Kovalchuk/Hossa
Giroux/Voracek

Yeah, I probably should have taken those ones out along with Getzlaf/Perry, Kane/Toews, and those types… or keeping them all in would have made a more even spread.

The Pizza Line was magic

 

[Elvs]

I think maybe I got a little over-technical with this, but I don't remember Spezza/Alfredsson or Kovalchuk/Hossa as duos, but rather as trios together with Savard and Heatley respectively.

I voted Suter/Weber, Pominville/Vanek and Giroux/Voracek, and then chose Parise/Zajac as my fourth selection, though I don't think of them as a duo either. They simply got my vote because Parise was one of my favourite rookies in the NHL when I started to follow the league more closley. I liked Zajac too.

 

[CanadienShark]

Ottawa duo is clearly #1.
Nashville duo is a distant #2.
After those...
Philly and St Louis? Atlanta too, I suppose.

Basically one actually nostalgic duo here for me though.

other : Perreault and Martin

Way too technical, dude

 

[Crow]

I feel like the hawks have had so many rivals. I was forced to vote mostly east coast.

I understand why you left out some of the more popular ones but I would love to see a next level matchup from around this era featuring guys like

Toews/Kane
Sedin/Sedin
Ovi/Backstrom
Getzlaf/Perry
And more

Would be interesting to see how that plays out.

Appreciate the encouragement yeah, the duos are sort of a mix of either linemates or just players talked about a lot on the broadcasts back then before a matchup. Like headliner bands for a concert.

I think I'll wait a few days and do that one with mostly everyone. I figured Ovechkin/Backstrom and Malkin/Crosby would run away with it so I had removed them and probably too many others I should have included. Also I preferred duos with at least one retired or elsewhere so the penguins duo doesn't really fit. Capitals do though.

 

[jetsforever]

Weber Alfredsson Tavares Giroux

Yeah I actually typed out Crosby/Malkin but deleted it. Can’t really be nostalgic if it’s still going.

Personally I think sedin/sedin might win. I can’t vote for them under this criteria though.

I think it'll be close! Keep a look out I'll make one before the season starts. Any more suggestions? A lot of western teams I could use suggestions about. I also realized that Canadian team duos would get less votes due to the rules set. Since Atlanta doesn't exist as a team everyone is free to vote for them lol.

 

[1specter]

As someone who grew up in the peak of Battle of Ontario era it has to be Alfie/Spez, not close

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Francis/Dineen

 

[NyQuil]

Following the rules of the OP:
-Kovalchuk and Hossa
-Giroux and Voracek
-Weber and Suter
-Zajac and Parise

 

[Machinehead]

I'm not supposed to pick from my own team, so like...do Nash and Brassard count?

 

[NailsHoglander]

Sakic-Forsberg

 

[the valiant effort]

My condolences go out to those for whom some of these duos brew nostalgic feelings
