jack,

BS25 did get it, but he had the help of the internet, as he said in his post.

It was :
Bobby Hull at LW
Bill Hay at Center
Murray Balfour at RW

Here is a little snippet for Sports Illustrated:

The purchase of right winger Balfour from Montreal in 1959 made this nickname a natural when he was teamed with the high-salaried duo of left winger Hull and center Hay. The trio led the Hawks to the 1961 Stanley Cup.

Unfortunately, that was the only Cup they lead us to. We kept running into a team called the Rangers.
