KLM Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The KLM-Line is the name given to the first lineup players of the USSR national ice hockey team and the Soviet club CSKA in the 1980s. It included forwards Vladimir Krutov, Igor Larionov and Sergei Makarov. The trio was named after the first letters of the offensive players last names. It is widely considered to be the best offensive lineup ever.[1][2]
