Jason Spezza, Dany Heatley react to their inclusion on the Ottawa Senators All-Time 7 team - TSN.ca

Toronto Maple Leafs centrejoined Ian Mendes and Lee Versage on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa's The Drive after being included in TSN's Ottawa Senators All-Time 7 team alongside longtime linematesThe trio made up what was affectionately called"The Pizza Line" because the line's scoring exploits normally meant free pizza for fans in attendance thanks to a promotion with Pizza Pizza.

"It's obviously a very cool honour," Spezza said of his inclusion. "It's a neat exercise the guys at TSN have been going through and it's obviously nice to be included in something like that. I had some great years in Ottawa and I look back on them fondly, so whenever they do things like this, it's nice to be recognized."

Spezza played in 668 games over 11 seasons with the Senators, notching 251 goals and 438 assists at a greater-than-a-point-per-game clip. Much of that was due to the success of the Pizza Line."I hadn't played much with Alfie before - Todd White kinda played with Alfie in my early years," Spezza said.

The 36-year-old Spezza credits his close friendship for Heatley as for one of the reasons why the trio was so lethal. "Me and Dany were best of friends," Spezza said. "We had great chemistry as linemates. We had a great connection as a line because we were all really honest with each other. If you talk to guys who played on those teams, we had some big arguments amongst ourselves and Heater would always tell me how open he was and I'd get back to him that if he was open, I would have passed to him.
