Why Los Angeles Kings fans still discuss The Triple Crown Line

The Los Angeles Kings have had some incredible forwards play for them in the history of their franchise. This includes players like Anze Kopitar, Bernie Nicholls, Luc Robitaille, and of course, Wayne Gretzky.

However, there wasn't a better collection of offensive talent than the line of Marcel Dionne, Dave Taylor, and Charlie Simmer, who would earn the nickname of "Triple Crown Line". These three would be put together during the 1979-80 season, and it was clear to fans that they had something special with this trio.

That season, Dionne would lead the league in points with 137 while Charlie Simmer led the league in goals with 56, which he did in only 64 games.
