hard not to place Duncs as an early candidate for the conn smyth and yes i know i am getting ahead but after tonight we should talk about my favourite player and who i think is the most important roster player (that ones highly debatable i know)
this guy has to be the best conditioned player in the league. 49:51 minutes played tonight. 2 goals 9 assists in 12 games +6 rating.
Currently leads the playoffs for most points for a blueliner
Tied for first for blueliners with 2 game winning goals
Just destroying any other remaining blueliner in the playoffs in ice time
4th in +/- for blueliners not far behind Fowler leading with a +9
Only 2 penalty minutes which is so hard for a blueliner when you are on the ice as much as Duncs is.
Its also been suggested in the past that Keith was good but pairing with Seabrook made Keith better. Im sure that is the case in many instances but Duncs is showing these playoffs that he can play with and be effective with anyone. I am a Seabs fan also and he too is having a strong playoffs so Im not suggesting Seabs has never helped Keith (Seabs is doing really well in blocking shots and hits and all that good stuff). But Duncs is having himself a really special playoffs right now and I think he is leading the charge of the team.
Now I know Keith has his flaws. Not the hardest shot and not always the best at getting the puck to the net on the pp. But he also has that well executed pass shot..one of the best I have ever seen. We don't need to get into his skating abilities and how quickly he can execute the outlet. He may not block a lot of shots but his positioning is typically very strong where he doesnt have to. He also may not be the most physical hitting blueliner but he never shies away from the ugly areas and to get dirty.
The guys a classic.
