I'd be laffing if it wasn't so desperate and sad

Yeah, but he was one hell of a Hawk.Thought that happened awhile back.
Last time I saw Lindros he looked rough. Concussions pretty much wrecked him
Yes he was.Articles or blogs, brainiac? Because there isn't a single person who actually follows hockey who won't tell you DK isn't a complete defenseman or won two norris trophy's because he moved pucks.
Was Lidstrom a puck moving defenseman?
Yes sir! Of course Keith could always skate the puck out of trouble when necessary but he'd rather set up sweet stretch passes to spring a forward and ALWAYS played very well in his own end or at least more often that not......I'm going to keep this simple:
To strictly label Keith as a "puck moving defenseman" is asinine before labeling him an "all-around defenseman." It's asinine because it implies he's one dimensional, which he isn't.
Yes, Keith can move the puck, facilitate breakouts from the D-zone, man the point on the PP -- but he also can play the PK, defend against the opposition's best lines, read/break up plays, lead the entire defensive core in ice time, and can/has been trusted in the most critical of playoff situations (particularly with holding one-goal leads, kill penalties as I mentioned, etc.).
It'd be more accurate to label a guy like Brian Campbell a puck-moving d-man; or a Nick Leddy when he was here. That isn't meant to slight either, especially Campbell (because he really did solidify the top-4 at one time), but his offensive prowess clearly outweighed his defensive strong suits overall.
The whole losing teeth and not missing a shift is the stuff legends are made out of.Yes sir!

Lids was a two way defenseman and the second best defenseman of all time.Yes he was.
I never said he was not great defensively.Lids was a two way defenseman and the second best defenseman of all time.
You didn't log as many minutes as Lidstrom did playing under Scotty Bowman if you didn't play defense
Then he wasn't a puck moving defenseman.I never said he was not great defensively.

Got it out of my system.Dont feed the trolls Bob. ?
Bustvist is in over his head in the NHL, so send Beaudin, who isn't, to Rockford.
Just....wow
Without Kane and Keith I think the Hawks would have collected about 10 points despite Lankenens nightly heroics.Bitching about what? Care to explain?
I am praising a player on my favorite hockey team while you are incorrectly tearing him down.
Thanks Boomer, I'll hang up and listen.

There is no reason on earth to start disparaging Keith. Nobody on defense is in his galaxy.
Lol. The contradiction is not mine, ask Crowley about it.Why dont you quote yourself and disagree with your own post like you did yesterday you drug addicted idiot.
