Great vid. Love seeing stuff on players that don't get enough Cred. Growing up in Flint MI I despised the Hawks, the Pens and Boston. But credit is due, Keith was a machine.
Canucks fan here, this man was a complete menace back in the day. Loved watching this guy play, was the perfect embodiment of a hockey player, skill, heart, nastiness, grit, all of it. Theres no doubt in my mind hes a first ballot HoFer
When Keith was voted into the Centennial 100 no one I talked to questioned it. It just made sense and there were other, more interesting, debates going on. Karlsson may have been better offensively, Chara was bigger and more physical, Weber had a harder shot, but no one was better all around than Keith in his prime. 1st Ballot Hall of Fame next year for sure. From a Canucks fan.
being from chicago it is rare to get athletes that aren't from this area that represent this city perfectly, Keith and Toews were two of those guys ultimate grinders who played hard till the absolute end
As a true Chicago fan thank you! As a Canadian thank you! Some may agree some may disagree but I think he earned a spot in the HHOF… Stanley cups with Chicago gold with Canada he’s a legend! Love u Keith💙🙏🏻
One of the all time greats. He was my favorite during the glory years. I remember seeing him take that shot to the mouth and come back out to show what playoff hockey is all about.
Duncan Keith will always be one of the best of all time to me. He's almost right there with Lidstrom in how he could just do it all and make it look effortless, all while playing like half of every game. No one should ever sleep on this man's legacy.
Pick number 54 2nd round? Are you kidding me I had no idea. In hi prime he was one of the best D men I have ever seen. Incredible skating and agility, amazing passing/vision, great hand eye coordination and puck control and pretty decent defensively. His defence was his weakness for sure (offensive d men player) but he wasn't awful and with Brent Seabrook it was the ultimate pair.
Kieth is in the conversation for "Greatest Defenseman in Blackhawks history", however that title is not uncontested; Pilote, & Chelios are also liget contenders for that title.
He's in the conversation for sure and may be #1. the 3 Cups, Smythe and clutch play probably give him the top spot. Pilote is 2nd, Cheli 3rd. Doug Wilson, Seabrook...
Man every kid on my chicago travel teams growing up wanted to be kaner but as a defenseman Keith was the kind of man everyone wanted in the back of the ice
was always astonished by the amount of minutes he played especially in playoffs and the very little time that he missed despite that mileage from playing 30-40 minutes a night in both regular season and playoffs especially playoffs
It isn't only Duncan Keith who is underrated, but his defensive partner for all of those years, Brent Seabrook. Seabs was a monster of a player in his own right, who probably should have gotten Norris consideration on his own, if not for his high-profile teammate. Besides, without Seabs, how would Duncs ever have gotten up in time to eat breakfast, make it to practice or catch the bus? LOL. Insider's joke... Seabs was Duncs big-brother when it came to stuff like that. The Magnificent Seven: Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Nicklas Hjalmarsson. Add in Corey Crawford, too. for an (*)... The NHL ought to have an award for best defensive winger, since they so seldom award the Selke to anyone but centers. And it ought to be called the Marian Hossa Award. The same is true for defensive defensemen, and they ought to name that one the Nic Hjalmarsson Award for best defensive defenseman. I don't know if Seabs, Sharpie and Hammer, or Crow ...have enough juice, votes-wise, to make the Hall, but they all deserve to be in there. Toews, Kane and Duncswill probably make it, and Hoss is already waiting for them. The current champs, the Florida Panthers, remind me a lot of the golden-age Hawks the way they play the game, and there is a connection since Dale Talon drafted or helped develop a lot of those guys. And Coach Q.and Andrew Brunette coached them well before Paul Maurice finished the job.
Dude no way I’ve just had these random thoughts when talking hockey about how legendary this man is and how under appreciated he is and there is this 😂
I am an Oilers fan, so I watched Keith pretty closely in 2021-22 when he played in Edmonton, and though he was not the same player, he played a big part in that Oilers team finally breaking through and reaching a conference finals, he was a hell of a leader and played some big minutes for the Oilers in his last season.
The D-Core from 2010-2016 was beast for the Blackhawks, some of my favourite hockey was watching the Kings vs Blackhawks in the playoffs during those years.
people who think Keith was terrible are the same people that think Seth Jones is good. For almost 2 decades Keith quarterbacked probably the best cycling team ive ever seen in my life from the blueline. His contributions will always be an understatement.
He could of made waaaay more than what he did, but that 7 yr/35 mil deal he took allowed others to be able to stick around. The only Canadian jersey I have in my closet belongs to this man. Forever grateful for #2. Go hawks!
incredible. loved him and seabrook. all of those golden years. craziest memory is when they won the cup its was literally just him, Seabrook and Hjalmarson playing lol. this coming from a canucks fan.
Bruins fan here. I know this is specifically about Keith but it just got me thinking. '13 Final still haunts me but goddammit if that wasn't the most entertaining of the Bruins three trips to the Final. truly felt like two juggernauts going head to head. Seemed like every position on both teams was stacked. Seriously how many HoF candidates played in that series lmao.
I watched a ton of Blackhawks games back then & idk if it makes sense but IMO while Kane was the best player, Keith was by far the most IMPORTANT player.
Keith: 3 Cups, 2 Norrises, Conn Smythe, 2 gold medals, NHL Top 100, 2 time all NHL 1st team, 1 time all NHL 2nd team, 28th all time in defensive point shares, key member of the only cap era dynasty, +159 Ozolinsh:1 Cup, 1 time all NHL 1st team, -44 The year Keith won the Smythe he averaged 31 minutes a game over a 23 game playoff run, led the playoffs in assists and +/-, and had 3 GWG including in the Cup clincher.
Oh, define kid, I'm early 40's and I watch mostly eastern conference hockey (got 3 teams I care for, the third one, in the west is Edmonton, and even then he was good for a 39 year old, defensively, which was what was needed of him in those playoffs where the Oils went pretty damn close (not as much as last year, there's not much closer than this), but as an ex Wings fans ( I couldn't remain a fan when they appeared into the Eastern Conference, in the Atlantic or "Northeast" division as it was called then, I think, Habs were there and when Datysuk left before his time was over, I didn't recognize most of the team I loved for much of the late 90's and all of the '00s), so I knew how Keith was good, back then intra-division games were at 8 and then 6, the old Detroit/Chicago rivalry was back alive when the Hawks became good again by the end of the first decade of the 21st century, before that it was more a Detroit/St-Louis affair as the Hawks were bottom dwellers with a lot of their future potential getting unlucky, a guy I knew a bit when I was in high school from a friend who was in a private school where he played football, I met a certain Eric Dazé, destined to be a 50 goal scorer, but his career was over by the time he was 25-26 or such, it took Chicago a good 10 years to return to form, but yep, I'll always remember that 2013/2014 (or, the year after, cant check now), series between Hawks and the Wings, both teams were incredible, AAA+ hockey, it felt like a final, but wasn't yet, and Keith was one reason why on the opposing side for me.
He WAS the BEST defenseman in the league, sorry to some of the other but Keith rose above all, and without him we def wouldn’t have won 3 cups. Aside from talent and will look at the ice time this dude put up 15 years ago. Insane
no goalie and the defense was much looser. Kane was also still fully freewheeling, where 13-15 they had him playing more responsibly during the runs. i do agree the 2010 offense was the best they had. brutal to face. talent up and down the lineup, talent such as Bickell not even good enough to stay in the lineup.
The Hawks had 2 Dynamic duos back then Toews and Kane/Keith and Seabrook with 2 more all stars Sharp and Hossa were it that with one of the best shot blockers in Hjalmarssom and you got a dynasty they had everything
as a big hater of those 2010-2020 Bhawks theres a couple of players that I'll never disrespect is Duncan Keith and Corey Crawford. Ivve had plenty of better reasons to hate the staff and that obnoxious goal song.
@ethanparker7900 Dallas mainly but outside the home team i like Carolina Toronto Seattle and with some era teams like the 2000- 2010 kings ,90s Detroit and avs (prolly cause they played us so much back then) and the 2015 till now panthers.
@ethanparker7900 bro they covered up sexual abuse and they were awful to him for it. Also Chelsea's dagger is legit a troll song now. If it was mere jealousy id choose a team thats currently good.
@@36inc I was mostly talking about jealousy on teams success within lengthy timespans and ofc a lot of people in the 2010s were envious of the hawks dominance. And yah ofc what happened to kyle beach was disgusting and that 2010 cup specifically is indeed tarnished beyond repair with an asterisk next to it for all eternity but it was never mentioned what players exactly knew what and when and how they found out. And ofc they did win 2 more cups and a presidents trophy after
Completely disagree with the seabrook take. Kieth carried that pair every second they played together. Seabrook was 5-7 slot dman on any team where he wasn’t playing with Kieth. Overpayed for most of his time in Chicago.
I completely disagree with this and I hate the hawks, seabrook was so clutch in the playoffs won gold with team Canada, was an allstar multiple times and only signed that bad deal in like 2018, he only played for 2 years after that
@ 2011-2015 5.8m Aav 2015-current 6.875 aav. Overpayed on both contracts imo because Kieth was carrying the pair. Seabrook only made the Olympic team because everyone knew he’d be paired with Kieth. They left pk pietrangelo giordano burns and letang off that roster so don’t even try to say he earned that Olympic roster spot.
@ I’m not a hawks fan either I’m a lifetime wings fan who grew up in Chicagoland playing hockey watching hawks games constantly. Seabrook was an anchor around Kieth’s neck but he was just good enough to carry that anchor. If hjalmarsson was Kieth’s permanent partner he would have better career numbers and in fact with a one goal lead and 1:00 on the clock in an important game seabrook was always on the bench because hjalmarsson was out there with Kieth.
@@jacoblamb3535 dumb af. Seabrook was a horse and the heart of the team. locker room leader the entire time, a physical presence on a light team full of skill superstars who went to bat for his guys and kept Kane and co safe for 15 years, and arguably the 2nd most clutch guy on the most clutch team of all time.
he wanted to be closer to his sun and chase 1 last playoff run and as he said in the video he was a great mentor for guys like bouchard. He and his wife got 50/50 custody and due to covid the previous year and a half he didn't get to see him often. Family and friends are what comes first not hockey. While it would've been cool to see him play his whole career with one team, we are all human who have lives outside the game as well
One of the dirtiest players who rarely got called for anything. If he played for another team he would have had a career full of penalties and suspensions, but the rules are different for some teams in this biased league
Love all of your videos! *Norfolk* not Milwaukee Admirals though
Shiiiiit that’s right! My bad!!
He retired two years ago. The kids know who he was.
Him and Seabrook were insane!! Then add Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp. What a Dynasty man.
Sharp, Hjalmarsson, Oduya and many others. Great Team!
@QenaitheCustodianGuard omg, How did I forget Sharp??
@@scottboyd3838 The only one with a picture on my wall.... Andrew Shaw
@Brunoku Oh hell ya!! Get this, he was born in my city, Belleville, Ontario.
Did they have Byfuglien for one or more of those 3 cups??
He and Doughty on Team Canada's back to back Golds were integral
He retired two years ago. The kids know who he was.
Pat Foley's voice rang through my childhood home very, very often. He is a legend.
Llyod Petit,was not bad either!just saying!Mikita to Hull,to Wharram back to Hull,he shoots he scores!

Duncan Teeth was integral to the Blackhawks’ Cup runs. Without him, there is no 2010, 2013, & 2015.
You don't win 3 cups in 6 years during the salary cap era unless you have some all time greats .
I guess it takes 3, oilers can’t get it done with 2 😅

Great video, great channel.
It’s hard to put into words how dominant the Keith/Seabrook line was for those who didn’t see it. Incredible duo
Ooh im excited - loving this content please keep it up
I was 10-16 years old during his prime this was golden hockey to me, prime Keith price toews and tarasenko
Nice vids. Very enjoyable. Keep it up man.

As dumb as it is to say he’s probably my favorite player of all time . Lotta nostalgia and I miss hearing Keith called in Hawks games . Stud
Fun fact: WWE legend CM Punk (a Chicago native) appeared on an episode of Monday Night RAW wearing a Blackhawks jersey with Keith and a 2 on the back.
The D-Core from 2010-2016 was beast for the Blackhawks, some of my favourite hockey was watching the Kings vs Blackhawks in the playoffs during those years.

I said no social media😅
I remember in ‘97 or ‘98 going on computers too, when I was like 8-9 years old.

Best Defenseman of the 2010's
seabrook needs his flowers too
Of all the contemporary defensemen I watch, Heiskanen is the closest in play style to Keith imo. He’s a far better skater tho
If you think Rick Nash was a scrub I don’t think you’re old enough to have seen Duncan or Rick
Rick was no scrub.
love Duncan Keith but the Oilers should not be in the thumbnail let alone the dominant center main image.
if anyone thinks he wasn't good, they're probably under the age of 21
Greatest in Chi history is a stretch. Chelios will always be the goat
Chelios never won Cups in Chicago
Keith was the best...
Was 2002 really a simpler time? So soon after 9/11?
much much much simpler, yes
Norfolk not Milwaukee Ads. Small mistake. Just wanted to let you know if you care.
He cant be the best defensemen of the 2010s when Nicklas Lidstrom was still playing for a few years of it.
Lidstrom was a shell of himself then. In that 2013 series he was not the same player.
Honestly i would say your the kid in here tho :)

He and his wife got 50/50 custody and due to covid the previous year and a half he didn't get to see him often. Family and friends are what comes first not hockey. While it would've been cool to see him play his whole career with one team, we are all human who have lives outside the game as well
Kids today din’t give a shit if he was good or not. You’re not special for knowing if he was or not. This gatekeeping shit is annoying af.
honestly does not deserve any credit and his cups should be tarnished. terrible person off the ice far overshadows anything he’s done in his career
inconsistent and fizzled out
extremely consistent. and 'fizzled out' in his mid to late 30s. after a ton of mileage.
One of the dirtiest players who rarely got called for anything. If he played for another team he would have had a career full of penalties and suspensions, but the rules are different for some teams in this biased league
Bwahhaha wahhh wahhhh .. your Fuckin high
