All-Time Best Lefty-Righty Tandems
 

They came at you one way, they came at you another. These two teamates may have primarily thrown with different arms but they were the best lefty-righty combo of all-time.

Who would you say was the best of the best?

Terry O'Reilly/Stan Jonathan?
Chris Nilan/John Kordic?
Dave Brown/Craig Berube?

I have quite a few in mind but please continue to add to the list and let us know who was number 1! ;)

Baumgartner & Vukota.

Outside of the two you named, Kevin McClelland and Semenko/Mcsorley popped into my head first.

I thought Cam Neely provided a nice lefty compliment to Byers/Miller.

McKay-Peluso comes to mind as well.

Secord-Fraser in Chicago might fit the bill here as well.

Probert and Ryan Vandenbussche on some of those tough Chicago Blackhawk teams from the late 90's/early 00's.


Just a few off the top of my head.

Not the all-time best but for a brief stint…..Willi Plett/Dave Richter

Prior to those days in LA, Baumgartner & Marty McSorley.

Brashear and Odjick with their brief stint together in Vancouver were pretty good.

Domi and Belak were pretty effective for a long time.

96 CAPS

SIMON & BERUBE

87 Flyers - take your pick:

Brown/Fotiu

Brown/Tocchet

Brown/Berube

I wish they played longer together
 

Brashear and Odjick were terror incorporated. Both very effective though. Odjick was crazy and Brashear had streaks that were hard to beat.

Bomber with Marty MAC
 

Lots of great fights with those two. Watching Bomber fight Marty when he was with the Islanders was wild. It was a really good fight!

Some really good choices.
 

Neely was a very tough guy and could really throw em. That team with Plett, Byers, Miller and Neely was one of their all-time best! The Chicago teams were always tough in that era and loaded with tough guys. Vandenbussche was very exciting and Bob Probert was Bob Probert. Secord and Frazer made a great power forward tandem.

B.Wilson- D.Brown (PHI) for only 2 gms
Wendel Clark - J. Kordic (TOR)
O'Reilly- Wensink (BOS)
O'Reilly- Jonathan (BOS)
JK or Probie- McRae (DET)
Nilan - J.Kordic (MTL)
B.Wilson or Fraser - Secord ( CHI)

Only brief but can you imagine having to play Minnesota with the late Derek Boogaard & Chris Simon both dressed. Calgary did one night Simon dropped Vandermeer while Godard & Boogaard had major HW bout.

How about Domi/Kocur? Certainly neutralized Baumgartner/Vukota for a couple of years if not edging them in their NYR/NYI series.

Brashear and Erskine although both a little long in the tooth was a pretty damn tough combo!
