Catchy nicknames for powerful hockey lines, such as the French Connection, the Production Line or the GAG Line, have almost gone the way of helmetless players. But Page 2 is out to save them from extinction.

As a spinoff from The Berman Files, we're soliciting your help to give the New Jersey Devils' high-scoring unit of Jason Arnott, Petr Sykora and Patrik Elias a new nickname.
They've been called the "A-Line," which played off Arnott's name, and the "Big Easy," which took the initials EAS from each last name and added a Y. And ESPN's "National Hockey Night" crew took the last letters of their last names to form TAS and combined it with the team's nickname to create the Tasmanian Devils.
So far nothing has stuck, so now we'd like you to come up with something better. We'll publish the best ideas with the old ones Tuesday and run a poll for you to vote for the one you believe is the best. Then we'll declare a winner Wednesday.
Send us your suggestion for what that nickname should be in the space below. Be sure to include your name and hometown, or we'll ignore you.
