The Grind Line refers to a former forward line for the National Hockey League's Detroit Red Wings. Red Wings head coach Scotty Bowman modeled it after the Crash Line of the 1995 Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils. After the 2004–05 NHL lockout in 2005, McCarty's contract was bought out by the team in an effort to make them compliant with the newly implemented salary cap. This broke up one of the most famous lines in Detroit Red Wings history.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Grind Line war eine Angriffsreihe des Eishockeyteams Detroit Red Wings aus der nordamerikanischen NHL. Die Reihe wurde der "Crash Line" der New Jersey Devils aus dem Jahr 1995 nachempfunden und von Trainer Scotty Bowman zusammengestellt. Sie hatte die Eigenschaft die sogenannte Drecksarbeit zu machen, wie Angriffe der Gegner durch Bodychecks und besonders hartes Spiel zu unterbinden und den Gegner zu zermürben. Meistens spielte die "Grind Line" gegen die spielerisch beste Reihe der gegnerischen Mannschaft. Die ursprüngliche "Grind Line" bestand Mitte der neunziger Jahre aus Kirk Maltby, Kris Draper und Joe Kocur. Im Kampf um den Stanley Cup 1997 war die Reihe besonders effektiv gegen die sogenannte „Legion of Doom“-Reihe der Philadelphia Flyers um Eric Lindros, John LeClair und Mikael Renberg. Am Ende gewann man den Stanley Cup. Zu Beginn der Saison 1997/98 wurde Joe Kocur durch Darren McCarty in der "Grind Line" ersetzt. In dieser neuen Formation existierte die Reihe bis 2005 und half bei den Gewinnen von zwei weiteren Stanley Cups. Nach dem Lockout wurde McCarty im Sommer 2005 sein Vertrag ausbezahlt und er musste sich ein neues Team suchen. Bisher konnte keine neue "Grind Line" formiert werden, die diesem Namen auch gerecht wurde. (de)
  • The Grind Line refers to a former forward line for the National Hockey League's Detroit Red Wings. Red Wings head coach Scotty Bowman modeled it after the Crash Line of the 1995 Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils. Originally, the Grind Line in Detroit consisted of three players, Kris Draper, Joe Kocur, and Kirk Maltby, during the Red Wings heyday in the late-1990s. Draper played the centre position and was known for his speed and ability to win face-offs. Maltby played left wing and served as a checking forward and agitator in the Wings' left wing lock defensive scheme. Kocur played right wing and served as a physical presence and team enforcer. During the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals, the line was effective against the Philadelphia Flyers famous "Legion of Doom" line that featured Eric Lindros, John LeClair, and Mikael Renberg. After the 1998 season, Darren McCarty replaced Joe Kocur as the third linemate. The line was effective at "grinding" and wearing against the opposition's top scoring line by providing an enforcing presence, helping the team win four Stanley Cups. After the 2004–05 NHL lockout in 2005, McCarty's contract was bought out by the team in an effort to make them compliant with the newly implemented salary cap. This broke up one of the most famous lines in Detroit Red Wings history. In the 2007–2008 season, the Detroit Red Wings re-signed Darren McCarty, and after a brief stint with the Grand Rapids Griffins, he rejoined the Detroit Red Wings for the end of the regular season and the playoffs. In his first game back on March 29, 2008 versus the St. Louis Blues, head coach Mike Babcock sent out his starting line of Darren McCarty, Kris Draper, and Kirk Maltby, reuniting the "Grind Line" once again. Since then, McCarty, Maltby and Draper have retired. (en)
