[Murphy] Garland: “There’s no need to be naming 3rd lines. There are only certain lines in the league that should have a name. I liked the one in Boston, The Perfection Line, that was pretty good. And The Lotto Line. When you score 3 goals a game then you deserve a name.”

No more posts on what to name it confirmed
The No Name Line, you heard it here first.
Straight from Garland’s mouth.
Thank you!! A little bit of sanity here.
Presidents Choice Line
No, it’s the thirst line
The perfection line was an awful name
Modest men line
The “No Name Needed” line
West Coast Express will forever be the best name for a line
Couldn’t agree more.
If the line stays together for multiple seasons or scores an epic goal to win a series, sure, give it a name. But next year when 2 if not all 3 of these guys are on other teams we’re going to wonder why we spent a whole year trying to inshrine them into Canuck history.
The Nintendo Line is by far the best option I’ve heard suggested.
Legion of Doom was a classic name. Wrong sub. I know.
Garland hatty incoming
I’d go farther…not even every 1st line needs a name and most don’t have a name. Some lines get a cool nickname because one arises naturally that fits, but this whole business of sitting down thinking up nicknames for your team’s lines is a little lame.
One more thing, Lotto line and West Coast Express have staying power because they contained clever local references. Names like “The Life Line” or “The Thirst Line” don’t do that.
No Name Line confirmed
3rd in line
