Description: THE MOST FAMOUS LINE IN HOCKEY HISTORY! The Production Line The Production Line was a nickname for one of the most famous scoring lines in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL). The line consisted of Gordie Howe (right wing), Sid Abel (center) and Ted Lindsay (left wing) of the Detroit Red Wings, all members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. In the 1947–48 season, the trio was tops on the team in scoring and in 1949–50, when Lindsay won the scoring crown with 78 points, the three finished 1–2–3 in NHL scoring, a feat never again rivaled, and the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup. The year after, Howe won his first of four consecutive Art Ross Trophies. Howe would also finish in the top five in scoring for the next 20 seasons. When Howe retired from the NHL in 1971, he held virtually every scoring record in the NHL. Both fans and media scrambled to come up with a catchy nickname for the threesome. Soon enough, somebody coined a term that described the line's importance to the team and made a reference to Detroit, the car-making capital of the United States. The Production Line was born. The line is mentioned in the song's lyrics, "Gordie Howe" by Bob Davies. "There was Howe, Lindsay, Abel, a line we can't forget The greatest line in history, not to be equalled yet Sid would pass to Lindsay, Ted then back to Howe He flicked his wrist in lightning speed And a big roar from the crowd."
