The secrets to Duncan Keith's longevity
The Chicago blueliner leads his team in average ice time this season at age 37, while playing at an elite level. Here's how he stays on top of his game.
I like the fact that he is still hungry. I think he will have 3-4 more really good years.Great article, thanks for posting it.
Never any grief from me. Best contract ever for the Hawks.Keith is the man, I know he gets his grief from some people but the dude is a machine who hasn't lost a step. Still averages the highest ice-time on the team/league, still goes against the opposition's top lines.
Including playoffs?Keith is #2 in ice time all time with 28,879:01
Ryan Suter is #1 with 29,001:04
That was me.First ballad HOF, the guy is a machine, like an energizer bunny, never stops. As someone alluded to, best contract in hockey.
If not for that long term contract, Keith is no doubt in the 9 million per year range.That was me.![]()
For sure.If not for that long term contract, Keith is no doubt in the 9 million per year range.
Bob thanks for link, I just want to follow up and say this, Hawks fans have seen Keith at his absolute best and most likely his absolute worst, which is not really that bad, however my point being, I can’t help but applaud the effort of him and Kaner(I know this is not about Kane) for what they are currently doing. They easily could of through there hands up in the air, request a trade, create a poor playing environment after Stan’s change of philosophy, instead they are the constant professionals and you can feel and see the kids are consuming there energy and using that energy in a positive way. They are the leaders of this team along with Johnny of course, positivity is something that is easy to get addicted to, you don’t have to look far to see the kids are sold on there leaders and responding in a way that I honestly didn’t see happening this season.
It would be incredible to see him raise Lord Stanley 1 more time.I like the fact that he is still hungry. I think he will have 3-4 more really good years.
That would be amazing.It would be incredible to see him raise Lord Stanley 1 more time.
