LOS ANGELES — Over the long history of hockey, there have been a number of forward lines that earned so much notoriety—a relatively small number—that they became known by a nickname. A very small handful of those lines include:
- The Bread Line – New York Rangers (1920’s): Frank Boucher, Bill Cook, and Bun Cook; a reference to Bun Cook’s nickname.
- The Production Line – Detroit Red Wings (1947–52): Sid Abel, Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, and later, with Alex Delvecchio.
