That top line was the biggest reason why the 21-22 team sported a +85 goal differential and cruised to a Pacific Division title whereas the current 22-23 team owns a +4 difference while barely holding down a very tenuous wild card position.

You said in the history of hockey not franchise history.
I could say there have been much better checking lines that didn't accomplish the same feat offensively but won in the playoffs.
At the end of the day they had a great regular season but the greatest checking line still didn't produce in playoffs.
