Have a Kahlua, perhaps
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Today’s story about the naming of the Greek Gods line got me thinking, and that’s always a dangerous thing. What would you call the scoring line of Ilya Kovalchuk-Todd White-Bryan Little?
So I decided to throw it out there for wiser heads than mine, but not before jump starting the discussion with a suggestion of my own: the Kahlua Line, as in Little White Russian. It’s 6:59 a.m. as I type this at Hartsfield Jackson while waiting to board my flight to Tampa, so maybe I’m, um, Kahlua-less, but it’s my best idea. What’s yours?
While you’re thinking, here’s another tale about a named line involving a current Thrashers personality. It was 1979-80, and the Toronto Maple Leafs had a combination of Rocky Saganiuk, current Thrashers coach John Anderson and Laurie Boschman, who combined to score 60 goals in the season’s final 55 games. They called them the Kid Line.
“Then the next year we couldn’t score a goal,” Anderson said. “We went from the Kid Line to the Skid Line.”
