Saw the post about best player nickname, and it got me thinking about the best nickname for a line. I’ll start.
The Legion of Doom.

The mattress line in Vancouver- 2 twins and a king.

Legion of Doom is admittedly a classic. As much as I dislike the Devils, the EGG Line was great, same with the Mattress Line in Vancouver. I also loved the Czechmates with Hlavac-Nedved-Dvorak.

As a Devils fan, I’ll throw “The A Line” and “The EGG Line” into the mix.

For the devils they had the EGG line of Elias Gomez and Gionta Then there was ZZ pops which was young Zacha parise, young Travis Zajac and vet Jamie lagenbrunner And finally the A-line of Elias, arnott and sykora. Very balanced line with a ton of chemistry and offence.
