At the beginning of the season , they only had to score 5 goals. After they realized they were giving away pizza every night , they bumped it up to 6. Those were delicious times. Pizza line wins by a landslide.
Wasn't it five goals and a win back then, and then they changed it because of the Pizza line?

Yep. Wicked times, some really good childhood memories for me.
I watched a lot more of the Pizza line, but I have to say it's them easily. 296 points when the centre missed over 15 games in 05-06 is really something to be proud of. They dominated more then a line has in a long while.
I'm a Sabres fan and know first and foremost, that line was disgustingly good. Literally destroyed teams by itself on a given night, including Buffalo many times. It didn't matter that the Sens had shaky goaltending at the time (injured Hasek, Emery, Gerber, etc.). That line could rack up enough goals to win no matter how the defense or goaltending was. Every time it stepped on the ice, that line was a threat to score and most often would if you made one mistake. Spezza the play-maker and Heatley and Alfredsson the goal-scorers; they just knew where each other was at all times. Spezza's never been a slouch in goal-scoring either and Alfredsson has racked up points for years, although I think Heatley was the most dangerous. Their individual point totals together were insane and the production as a line was as well, although I don't have the stats in front of me. That whole line was a Sabre-killer, particularly Heatley and Alfredsson throughout both of their careers. Even Spezza has feasted on us but the former two even moreso since Spezza was usually the guy setting them up.
Long story short, that line was a threat to score on every shift. If the Sens were down a goal and put that line out, they always had a good chance to tie. It was that scary. The WCE was good, but The Pizza Line (or The CASH Line) was pure dominant and one of the best lines I've ever seen. I'm very glad the line is no longer intact now. It would put up at least a point or two every game we played against them.
