Since the draft is tomorrow, seems like now is as good a time as any to start a new thread for the new season.

What Duncan Keith did was against the wild, so I say 2 games max.

And he's a Blackhawk.

I'm thinking 1 despite his history of stickwork and prior suspensions.

I saw someone on hfboards say "there's a book on him," so I looked it up and only found a couple of things (which could still make him a repeat offender)... a high stick on Jeff Carter in the playoffs, and he once killed Matt Cooke (the latter shouldn't really count against him though). Maybe there's more though, I know he's not Lady Byng. Oh, and 5 games for that Daniel Sedin hit.

Blackhawks fans seemed to think the last 5 games were fair (and some were saying it looked like an accident

)... everyone else seemed to think ~10 games was fair, but kind of depends on how much they value playoff games. Maybe 5 regular season plus a couple playoff games is enough.

Keith's just an asshole. He's a dirty player who picks on guys half his size and turtles at the thought of a fight.

He's among the more detestable players in the league.

What the Wild have done to the Blackhawks this season is punishment enough.

Wow, he really doesn't like the Blues.

I like the Blackhawks in general, but yeah that shit should be addressed.

I just hate underhanded stick-work. That shit he did on the face-off with Tarsenko where just as the puck is dropped he hooks Tarasenko's knee and tries to yank his leg. If Tarasenko loses his left edge there, he could easily blow out his knee there. It's just dirty and there's no cause for it.

And yeah, the fact that he doesn't do his own dirty work irks me as well. If you're going to be a dirty shithead, go do it and back yourself up. Keith's not a small guy; he should be able to stand up for himself. Don't stand behind the referee yelling 'wakey wakey, Backes' after one of your guys elbows him into next month and he literally can't stand on his own.

Keith's nothing more than a more talented Jordin Tootoo, IMO. All those guys that think fighting is bad for the game are overlooking the more sinister stuff; that cheap stickwork like the obvious intentional slashes and butt-ends that guys give when they know nobody's looking. Take away fighting and you'll see even more of that shit and it's just awful for the sport.

Coming into Matt Cooke territory?

Eeesh....I won't go that far.

Matt Cook is the Apex one who sucks the penis. He should've been thrown out of the league 5 years ago for his obviously intentional knee to knee hits (another peeve of mine).

I agree about the underhanded stick work... I remember Marty Turco in particular getting away with that shit in the calves and behind the knee of defensemen. And what Keith did the other night shouldn't be tolerated... there's just no talking his way out of it.

And I agree with the fighting, there is a reason for it beyond entertainment value.

Our resident Blackhawks fans are suspiciously silent.

I wonder if they burned all their energy for quixotic efforts in defending their favorite alcoholic rapist.

I mean, they're still going to beat us in the first round, but god it would suck having to stick up for Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith. At some point you have to actually enjoy the people wearing the laundry and not just the laundry itself.

Wait, I forgot that it's all Patrick Sharp's fault and everything's cool there now that he's gone and no longer banging his teammates wives...

KCUnited · 04-01-2016, 12:59 PM

Relatively new Hawks fan here and feel Duncan Keith would make a great Toronto Blue Jay.

Wasn't all the Kane stuff BS? (granted, we'll probably never know for sure)

He should get games taken off a future suspension for whacking Cooke lol.

One will work too, hell just give him one period since he already served two being kicked out of the game.
