Sorry to derail, but that team was great defensively, but far from the best defense ever assembled.
The 1976 Canada Cup team boasted:
Orr / Potvin
Robinson / Savard
Lapointe / Vadnais
Watson
Ignoring Vadnais (who was a very good player) and Watson, the other 5 are all among the greatest defensemen ever to play.
Orr, Potvin, Robinson are all probably in the top 10 of all time, and Savard and Lapointe aren't far off.
