The Career of Duncan Keith

[@knightradiant4990]

His most iconic moments for me was him getting a puck in the face and losing almost all his front teeth in the 2010 conference finals against the Sharks (he came right back to play) and then scoring the cup winning goal of game 6 against the Lightning in the 2015 finals.

I like knowing this kinda stuff. The stuff only true fans remember. As a Leaf fan, Reilly took a Chara slapper from the point in playoffs. No goal Leafs lose all the feelings. Just earned more respect for a player already respected. Type of player every championship team needs.

A machine. He was unbelievable in his prime. And for a late second round pick, made the story that much better.

[@kenkunz1428]

His 3 OT goal in the first game of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs in Nashville. The Cowboy hat swinging move afterwards was just perfect!

[@bosskey7212]

gotta admit that combo of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook was quite intimidating for opponents during their prime years, I was never a HUGE fan of either because both played on the edge here and there but I wouldn't say they were outright "dirty" players. Keith was not only a great skater and good passer, but his defense was very good too. He is going to the Hall of Fame whether some like it or not and he should. He was the best D-Man in the league for a time and has the hardware and awards to back it all up.

[@bosskey7212]

@Weather oh for sure, Keith logged a TON of minutes for all of those years and after 2015 he, Seabrook, Toews and others really saw their bodies remind them how much they had all played, losing Hossa didn't help either but that core had a helluva run for 6-7 years there

single-handedly changed the Canucks playoff trajectory from repeating Pres Trophy winners favorited to go the Finals to losing in the first round team wasn’t the same in front of Luongo with just one Sedin couldn’t make gritty teams pay on the cycle the same way (especially on the PP) and was forced to try run n gun more which left Luongo out to dry.

I think the last recognized NHL dynasty was the 80s Oilers. Still, Duncan Keith and Drew Doughty we're the top defenseman of the 2K10s.

[@TH-tl6sy]

In one year he did a lot for Bouchards defensive game. I also think he helped the oilers room during this run to the conference finals. Down a goal or two no Panic team just went and got it back. Maybe that was just the maturation of the team, maybe it was the voice of a 3x cup winner who's seen it all and knows what it takes. Holland talked about the intangibles he would bring to the room. And I think that honestly came into play.

[@BasePuma4007]

He will go down as one of the all-time great athletes and genetic freaks in the NHL. A very large part of what makes a great NHLer is cardiovascular strength and Keith has marathon winning, Tour de France levels of cardiovascular strength according to a trainer he had from his junior career that measured his blood oxygen levels under physical duress. People think about skill and individual determination in hockey, but the strength of your heart and efficiency of your lungs to oxygenate your cells adequately during quick bursts of intense activity is one factor that separates NHLers from players that don't make it, of which Keith is in a league of his own. His ability to play 30 minutes a night with a high degree of intensity every shift without ever really getting tired or having his focus and decision-making ability break down is really what made him unique. He took over that 2015 playoffs with a d-core that was somewhat weak compared to what they had in previous seasons, while playimg in every situation against the oppositions best players, and scored a lot of key goals. He hasn't been nearly as effective in recent years as he's aged into the late 30s, though in his prime he was one of the better defenseman in NHL history in my opinion.

I’m happy I got into hockey when the hawks faced the coyotes in the playoffs and even tho they lost I didn’t have to wait long to see my hawks win 2 more championships. Keith was a beast and I can only hope we just drafted the next Keith in Korchinski.

[@kurtwpg]

Ironically, this cap recapture won't deter teams at all from signing these front-loaded contracts. It'll be "See: by the time Keith retired they were in a rebuild with cap space to spare. It'll be the same with our guy."

[@ryanaustin1970]

To play as many games as he did in every situation and still have 25 mins on average per game is absolutely insane

[@Luke63517]

Does anyone else think of donuts when they hear the name Ducan?

[@siimtokke3461]

I understand why the cap recapture exists, but I don't get why it reverts to the team with whom the players signed that contract. Especially when teams can trade players and retain some of the salaries in those contracts. Edmonton accepted Keith's trade where Chicago didn't retain any of his salary whole knowing what his overall contract was. If there ever would be cap recapture it should fall on the team he last played for.

[@jaceking5938]

I think that would have been part of the negotiations, no?

[@whoshotashleybabbitt4924]

The cap recapture is to punish the team that had handed out that long contract. It shouldn’t fall on the team that had nothing to do with the initial signing. That being said, the Hawks are full rebuild, I expect the last of the cup core will be gone by the deadline, so it’s not like cap space is going to be an issue in the near future.

[@WaddickLawnCare]

@M P I doubt they’ll be many takers for toews even at 5 million he’s just to past his prime especially with all the teams so close to cap and him having a no move clause means unlikely he goes to a bad team with more space!

[@whoshotashleybabbitt4924]

@@WaddickLawnCare I would take him as a third or even fourth line rental. Actual money owed is only 2.5 mill, the hawks could keep most of the cap hit. Plus the intangibles for a team like Carolina who is trying to get over the hump. I could see him waiving the NMC, to go to a contender. No doubt he isn’t the player he once was, but to say no to a HOFer that could very well put you over the top? Why?

Of course not a word about Daniel Sedin doing a full speed fly by on Keith behind the net and catching him square in the head with his elbow while making no attempt at the puck, earlier in the game.

"Beach's testimony also refutes claims by former Blackhawks players that they were unaware of these allegations while playing for the team back in 2010. Since the initial report of Beach's allegations broke, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, and team captain Jonathan Toews, among others, have all said they had no knowledge of the events at the time. Keith did so as recently as today, telling Edmonton media, "I didn’t know that that was happening and that those things happened to that person." Beach, however, recalls a far different story, saying that teammates would berate him with homophobic slurs and taunts at practice that referenced his abuse. “I believe everyone in that locker room knew about it”, he said.

The omission of addressing Keith's ironman qualities does not bode well for the credibility of this analysis.
