When I see a guy like Duncan Keith retire… it makes me feel old. lol Keith had a long career and he has not played in the NHL prior to 04-05 lockout. Anyway, as usual, thanks Shannon!
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.
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.
@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
@@Darrakkii wasn't slighting Hjalmarrson the least, he was a great D Man too, just pointing out that the Seabrook and Keith combo was very lethal together.
I was rarely rooting for Chicago, but I was always impressed by Keith's play at his peak and the things he has done outside of the games. First ballot HoF
2015 playoff keith is unforgettable as a hawks fan. and the fact that he capped it off with that cup winning goal on the rush, with his own rebound... unreal
I have huge respect for this guy. He has been my favourite defenseman since I started watching NHL hockey back in 2014. I wish him all the Best in the future, and thanks for some amazing hockey. 😊 Hall of famer for sure!!
As a person who was a surface level fan until the last couple of years, I didn't know about the several suspensions. Now it makes sense that my lasting memory of Keith will be him try to injure Gabe Landeskog with a big two hander to the back of the leg in wcf. Makes sense
Remember him as a regular season and playoff warrior..setting up timely scores .My late father and my brother were the only Duncan’s of note in my life before Duncan Keith and Hawks Cups Era. All three competitive to their core!
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.
THANK YOU Shannon from Germany... You really make my off season AGAIN!!! Last year off season, I jumped the bandwagon around your videos as they popped up more often and often, as I followed Steve Dangles LFR14 Videos. You both have become the go to guys to me, if i have anything about NHL, one of you has content to it: :) And the deepness i get on your content is just looking for competition. And Steve already had a very high level. I love you both, but if I had to choose it'd be you. But gladly... I dont have to choose :D Keep it up as long as you can please!!! This Maple Leaf fan from Erfurt, TH, Germany NEEDs SHANNON in his life. No BS, no hate, just facts!!! I LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU SHANNON!!!
Keith was part of when the Blackhawks could develop great defensemen and goalies. I don’t know what happened since. We also have/had great forwards, but Hossa was the special sauce keeping everything together.
Arguably a top 15 D-man ever, definitely overlooked because of the other superstars on his team. However, also one of the most underratedly dirty players of the 2000's and 2010's
as an oiler fan id like to thank keith for everything he did for us in the season we had with him helped us reach the final 4 and helped bouchard develop his game he will be missed and nothing but the best in his retirement #OnceAnOilerAlwaysAnOiler
We saw flashes during this year's playoffs of just how good DK was in his glory years, and a couple of huge blown coverage mistakes. When I watched those mistakes I just thought, "Thanks DK for a great career and wonderful memories but man, it's time." Classy move hanging them up now Duncan. Wave the wait, HOF.
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.
Thanks Shannon. I think he was the most important player sor the Hawks in the Stanley Cup years . His 2015 playoffs was the best performance from a defenceman I have seen. Yes I'm a Hawk fan but I honestly feel that way.
You know, when I started this video about the career of Duncan Keith, I wasn't even remotely prepared for a Scott Steiner reference. Thank you for that, and enjoy the like on the video.
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.
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."
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.
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.
@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!
@@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?
@@whoshotashleybabbitt4924 because hawks can only eat 5 million of his cap hit simple as that, and the more teams involved the less the hawks get for him!
Keith, Weber, and Chara were arguably 3 best defensemen in the league for about 10 years give or take. 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.
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. Vancouver fans pretend THAT never happened. Of course there was no call, being a Sedin Sister and all, and maybe two wrongs don't make a right, But Keiths hit was to even up the score, and that is a fact, its on video.
The offensive D are a growing thing that’s for sure! Almost like the wing backs in soccer (Davies is a good example) they are quick great players who can also play D very well!
As a Canucks fan, Duncan Keith is not one of my favourite players. As a hockey fan, he's one of the great NHL defencemen of recent times and a HHOFer. I wish him the best in retirement.
"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.

@@WaddickLawnCare Isn’t that the whole deal everyone is celebrating? They get a credit? So I’m wondering is it a credit to offset his $5.8M which means they just gain the cap space he was taking up, or do they shed his $5.8M + another $5.8m for a total of like $11.6M effective space
@@brandonnarayan5796 no they are celebrating gaining 5.8 mill in cap space as he is no longer on the team so they have money to resign Kane or sign a goalie.
The omission of addressing Keith's ironman qualities does not bode well for the credibility of this analysis. Reality is that tributing a defenseman on points and not minutes during this period of time in the NHL is ludicrous. I can understand the spin on highlighting the Canuckle-Heads distaste for the player, considering the source (although this is actually just a tiny footnote in this crazy good career), but minutes was always Duncan Keith's legacy and you needed to talk about as a main theme when summarizing this player. Love the channel, but needed a better analysis of one of my all-time favorite players. I'm also not sure you mentioned that he allowed the Blackhawks to trade him because he liked te idea of finishing his career in Canada, to be closer to his family. Better luck next review...
