How? Do explain. Somehow me enjoying the 90’s as a kid because of the star power and feeling like each team had at least two is somehow stupid?
- SuperSchennBros

Because there are stars, two or more, on most teams today.

I was thinking that same thing when typing my previous post. Players hung on him so much he could have been considered a 250 HP Evinrude pulling the whole water skiing pyramid behind him.

The whole league would just play him like the Wings did in '97.

Just to add to the list. Toews/Kane, Kopitar/Doughty, Ovechkin/Backstrom, Giroux/Voracek, Weber/Suter, the Sedins, Chara/Bergeron, the 2010s certainly have had some great duos, and that’s not even mentioning additional players on these teams

None of this is right now…or at the same time…nor did I say Duos were extinct…I bring up the 90’s and how I felt about it. You reach 13 years, which is more than a decade if we’re choosing to be picky. Oh and Suter left Nashville in 2012, so I guess you found the cut off.

No. Most of the duos I named, played at the same time. Against each other.

Watching the Youtube highlights of that TBL series in 1996 it is a wonder Lindros didn't have more concussions. Literal flying elbows. Lindros was not a saint in that series but TBL was out to hurt him.

Ulanov was running Lindros every chance he got.

And when the series was over Lindros finally went after him. The game was over and Ulanov was still running him. Lindros had had enough.

You mean all 6 of duos you mentioned? Or was it 7? I’m not the one who put his balls on the table here.

Do you even know what you’re talking about? He’s making it out as if I’m saying there aren’t any great duos today, which wasn’t even remotely what I said.

All I was saying is, when I was growing up it seemed like each team in the league had at least 2 studs on their team. Claudefather jumped down my throat and blatantly called me stupid as if I’m saying there aren’t any duos in todays game and flipped his argument to the past 13 years.

Lindros/LeClair
Lemieux/Jagr
Sakic/Forsberg
Yzerman/Federov
Roenick/Amonte
Kariya/Selenne
Stevens/Neidermayer
Pronger/MacInnis

Lafontaine/Mogilny
Weight/Guerin
Messier/Leetch
Alfredsson/Yashin
Oates/Bondra
Nieuwendyk/Fleury

A lot of these guys felt like they played together forever and if one stud wanted to jump ship, in the 90’s it felt like a team could just go out and buy another star. This isn’t me saying there aren’t any duos out there today. It just doesn’t feel like as many. I was just expressing my memories as a kid.

Best duo of the day. Claudefather and Reggie the racist. RR is definitely a guy you wanna team up with.
