Description

Inspired by the documentary, a team of the 4 most legendary lines (different players in different eras) and D Pairings (a bit looser on the "pairings" but the eras match up) in team history. Do you agree with my order?

1. "Great" Line/Golden Triangle Line/Sky Line 2.0 - no matter what you call it, this was the best line in NHL history. 2/3 in the HOF and the only reason its not 3/3 is because Jagr is STILL PLAYING over 20 years later.

2. 3 headed monster - Yes, I know they technically are not a line. More of a PP unit/end of game attacking line, but no team in the league right now could ice a more talented offensive trio at the same time.

3. Century Line - The OG Penguins top line. First time the team ever had any kind of legitimate punch. These guys get a bit overshadowed by the greatness of the top 2 lines but they were some of the best of their era.

4th line- KLS Line - Yes, I'll probably catch some flack for putting them over HBK and some trendier lines, but these guys tore it up and had some great chemistry as a line.

DEFENSE

1st pairing - Easy choice. 2 of the more dynamic defensemen of their era, and 2 of the best in team history.

2nd pairing - Letang and Sarge didn't play a whole lot as a pairing but they are the 2 best post lockout defensemen the Pens have had.

3rd- Ok, this one is a stretch. These 2 never actually even played together, but the idea of this being a pairing is spine chilling.

HONORABLE MENTION (Guys that just didn't fit in lines here)

Pierre Larouche - such a fun and skilled player to watch

Ron Stackhouse- the best defenseman in Penguins history up until the acquisition of Coffey in the 80s.
