There was a time when nicknames of all the best lines. Today, it's a different story.
The NHL used to have more colorful lines than Dennis Miller. It was fertile ground for some of the greatest nicknames in sports with three-man forward units that used to light lamps and brighten headlines.
Names like the Kraut Line (try getting away with that one now), the Punch Line, the Production Line, the French Connection, the Triple Crown line and, not so long ago, the Legion of Doom.
